Looking for an overall lightweight planner software, but with a robust backlog feature. Ideally no AI

Hi everyone! I don't need much from my planner app. Frankly, what for example Google Calendar offers, suits most of my needs. Many others stray too much into the area of "project management", while all that I need is "one-somewhat-busy-dude management". Not to mention the current fashion to shoehorn AI everywhere, regardless of value added. However, there's one less common feature that I value a lot: a backlog. I like to have the ability to add tasks which I know need to be done, but I don't know when yet. This is something that for example Google Calendar can't do. That being said, can anyone recommend to me some software that has this combination of "as simple as possible, but still has a decent backlog feature"? Closest I came so far was the Structured app, which is super simple and has a backlog feature, but their backlog sucks unfortunately. Can't set priorities in backlog, can't set due dates without putting tasks on the calendar, can't group tasks by tag. Thank you in advance for any recommendation!

TickTick might fit this. It has calendar, tasks, and a backlog style inbox without feeling too heavy.
You can do it with Google calendar + Google Tasks.
TickTick might be exactly it. Tasks without a date just sit in your lists as a backlog, and you can still set priorities, tags, and due dates without ever dropping them onto the calendar. It stays as simple as you want, and there's no AI shoved in your face.
TickTick sounds closest to what you’re describing. You can keep undated tasks in lists as a backlog, still add priority/tags/due dates, and only put things on the calendar when you actually want to schedule them. I’d avoid tools that force every task onto a date, because then your calendar turns into a guilt board.
