This whole thing is quite a work in progress, both my software coonsiderations and improving my work habits. But, I have a soft spot for Trello, since it does what it can do very well.

I understand the issue around subtasks, and I could make the task a project and each subtask a task, but that would probably clutter up my projects list, and that does not seem to be helpful to me as I try and sort through things. I looked for the iOS app ToDoList, but was not able to find it. I will search again, as the idea of side by side lists sounds interesting.
