(Only Android apps, please) I'm a cosplayer and I've been using Progress Tracker (by Progress Tracker in Google Play) for almost a year now to keep track of the costumes I make. But lately it's been pissing me off everyday by lagging; making me turn on notifications when I open it and after then not opening at all, making me reinstall it every time; not showing completed tasks even when the filter shows 'all'. I've been looking at alternatives but by now I haven't found any that would have the things I like while still being free. In Progress Tracker I liked that: * it had unlimited task hierarchy (I could create sub-tasks for main tasks, and then sub-tasks for those initial sub-tasks, etc. etc.); * it would show me a progress with percentage according to the amound of tasks/sub-tasks I ticked off (the progress bar was for every single task if it had sub-tasks but the alternative can have just an overall progress bar); * I could pick a deadline and a starting date; * it would show me how many days are left, and how many tasks i need to complete a day to make it in time (though the latter it's not that neccessary, just a nice bonus). I'm not using MS Office/Google products for that purpose because they take up much more storage and, honestly, are not comfortable to view and especially use from a phone. The app doesn't have to be cosplay-related, it just needs to have most of the features listed above. Anyone got recommendations of the apps they use? Thanks in advance 🙏

Any kind of lightweight project management software or task tracking app (e.g., Todoist) can do that.

I’d use a simple Kanban board for this, honestly. Trello would work well: make one board per cosplay, then lists like “to buy,” “to make,” “in progress,” “needs fitting,” and “done.” Each card can be a costume piece or prop, with reference images, material links, notes, and checklists inside. Cosplay projects are visual and parts-based, so a board usually works better than a plain to-do list.
