Looking for an FOSS alternative to TickTick

I currently use TickTick for managing my todo tasks. i haven't been able to find an FOSS replacement for it yet.

The main features that I need in an app like this would be:

It should be accessible from the desktop. Don't necessarily need an app, a website is good enough.
It should have a decent android app with a home screen widget for listing all the upcoming and overdue tasks.
It'll be really nice if it can interpret date and time from the task description to add reminders. For example, writing "Remind me to get some milk at 6pm" will put a reminder for that task at 6PM.

Please let me know if you know about such an app. Thanks.

Note to self: That does NOT say TickTok
- This thread is now dedicated to finding a FOSS alternative to TikTok
  
  We need to fork peertube for short form content and call it FlikFlok
- Ah this makes more sense! I was wondering how OP was using tiktok for a todo list
super productivity is pretty good.

You can also sync between your phone, desktop, etc using different sync options including Dropbox, webdav, local file, etc
- Man, how have I not come across this before. I and I know so many others have been looking for exactly this for quite some time.
  
  Why there are so many to-do apps that are subscription based is beyond me.
- It actually looks awesome. Thanks! I'll try it out.
I have never been able to find a foss app that's as good as TickTick.

I tried various apps like tasks.org and more, but I kept coming back to TickTick
I use the tasks function that comes with my email (mailbox). But, this would work with any WebDAV capable server.

I can use it on the web

I can interact with it on Android using https://tasks.org/

It has a voice function for creating reminders and a widget

On desktop I use todoman but other apps work as well

The tasks are shown on my calendars as well
- This is what I do, too (similar), though SP might be better for OP.
If you're a real nerd, you could look into org-mode. Doom-Emacs is great on the deskrop and Orgzly is awesome on my phone. Orgzly also has some useful widgets. No luck on natural language dates, tho
I installed https://vikunja.io/ last week, it has nice features.
The main one for me is the ability to set a repeating task, when I mark it as done it reappears with the next due date.
