I would like to know where and how "To Do" stores the lists, but the burger menu is disabled and it (gnome-todo) does not even have a --version option. But here it is:

~$ apt show gnome-todo
Package: gnome-todo
Version: 3.28.1-6ubuntu1
...

There is no man page.

I don't see any further info on its homepage either:

Nor in the project wiki:

There is an old (2y) issue about the lack of documentation, not a single comment from the maintainers:

I found the local storage: /home/<user>/.local/share/evolution/tasks/<id>/tasks.ics and /home/<user>/.local/share/evolution/tasks/system/tasks.ics for "Personal"

Running $ gnome-todo -d prints

23:28:38.0742       GtdProviderSelector:    DEBUG: Adding provider local
23:28:38.0761            GtdProviderEds:    DEBUG: Task list 'Personal' successfully connected

23:28:38.0837            GtdTaskListEds:    DEBUG: test: GNOME To Do API version 1

Searching for https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-todo/search?q=%22Adding+provider%22 leads to https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-todo/blob/master/src/gui/gtd-provider-selector.c#L273

If you dig around, there should be several more "providers", e.g. "todo.txt", so I assume this is a buggy package.

Edit

Also see https://askubuntu.com/a/1272813/1029310

/home/<user>/.config/evolution/sources/system-task-list.source contains the configuration of the "Personal" task list.

Edit

The other "providers" are disabled by default and would require building from source. See https://askubuntu.com/a/1415059/1029310
