Haven't found one.
I'm thinking about creating a todo app that organizes content automatically by category using machine learning.
It wouldn't be very good for a very long time, but organizing tasks has always felt like a chore and an inaccurate one at that.

EpicWin - RPG Style to-do-list... hasn't been updated in way too long and is ad supported, but otherwise is an entertaining to-do-list app.
For a simple list you can share with your family (like grocery lists), I use Any.do.

There is something very satisfying in crossing out or wiping out a task physically.

There is no "best" here. Everyone approaches this differently.
I use Trello. I use it as a simple list of lists of to-do items, not as a fancy project manager.

Google Keep (until it gets shut down, I guess)
I am starting to like Notion, as I can use it for multiple goals. ( Todo list with detailed links, templates for different checklists etc)
Things. Peter Akkies often explains why. https://youtu.be/ZRJTDCw8Wok
Org-mode for personal stuff.
Taskpaper, the format at least.
The best one is the one you use consistently.
Workflowy integrated with complice for focused goals.
I really like Things. It has the right combination of simplicity and "schedulability" for me.

$50 for a Mac-only to-do app seems egregious.
todo.txt or todo.org is free and does the same thing.

I don’t have an issue paying for good products and $50 is hardly egregious.
These open source alternatives don’t seem to have iPhone apps and they also lack some of the key features I rely on in Things.

The upside is that it is fast, has natural language processing and decent shortcuts.
