To-Do list with editable lists, nested lists?

Hi All,

I'm looking for a to-do list which has these two features:

1. Reads the list as a file stored locally on the SD in an easy editable format, so I can convert an existing plain text file I have into a list. For example, converting a plain text list I have into an XML file used by the app.

2. Allows for nested lists, for example:
category 1
category 2
task 1
task 2
task 3

etc.

Can forum members please suggest an app which has these two features?. Would be nice if the app if free.

TIA,
Mike.
 
Astrid tasks.

1. It can make autobackups in the SD card of the tasks in XML format.

2. Those categories would be termed as "lists" in astrid. Each task can be added to a particular list.

3. It can also sync to both producteev and google tasks on the cloud, and can be connected to widgets like Agenda Widget.
 
Thanks for replying.

1. Does it supoprt nested tasks? I'll try explain again:
category 1:
...task 1.1
...category 1.1
......task 1.1.1
......task 1.1.2
......task 1.1.3
...category 1.2
...task 1.2.1
...task 1.2.2
category 2
...task 2.1

etc.

2. Does it export & import in xml or just export?.

TIA,
Mike.
 
Oh, that's nesting (I always known it as subtasking). Astrid doesnt do to that level of nesting "in-app" and it only imports. I think it could be done on Producteev then you sync it to Astrid. However, I havent tried the pro version yet, as I myself is still testing several task apps to see which would fit my needs best.

Another free app (currently in my phone but not being used yet) is WAToDo! Lite, but it only supports one level of subtasking (a little better than Astrid) apart from grouping, tagging and listing. Paid version has unlimited levels for subtasks.

First time I encountered checklist. Didnt come up when I made my searches.

Anyhow, Astrid on their website says they're gonna add subtasks on their next updates, so their nesting would go to:
List
-task
--subtasks
Plus they have some features I find handy (like sharing tasks with other people via Facebook or Twitter). Do you know of something that does that too?
