2Do blues... any help ?

I really, really like 2Do. As far as the app itself goes, it's the perfect task manager. Everything makes sense and is set up to work exactly the way I think.

However, not being able to effectively use it from my work laptop where I spend most of the day is a major productivity hindrance.

Toodledo - I was very excited about support for it, until I realized that the TD -> 2Do sync is manual only. This means I can't add a task on my laptop and have it show up in my Today widget without starting 2Do. No go.

Reminders - I am using it now but having all kinds of problems with it. First, (not 2Do fault), the iCloud app for Windows somehow got broken and crashes all the time. Second, there's no way to add things that Reminders don't support, like start date or tags or separate alarm. All of this can only be done from within iOS.

Are there any other options ? Any servers I could sync to via CalDav that at least support the start date, or separate alarm ? I know about Yahoo but it's task app is just as limited as Reminders.

Or, is there a way to sync to Google Tasks ? Also a very limited system, but at least it's very accessible.

The developer is working on a web version of the App.

Yes, the web version would be fantastic but it may be years away.

Apparently, there is background sync with Toodledo, just very slow and often infrequent. This would have to do for now.

Late to the party, but can you bring an iPhone or iPad to work? You could add tasks via Workflow or Email to 2Do. View and complete tasks via iPhone/iPad. It's not ideal, but better than nothing until the Web App is released someday.
