Fork on windows, SourceGit on Linux, both have a similar UI layout to SourceTree, but are much faster/snappier.

I really like having a clear overview of the commit history, branches and current local state. I haven’t figured out yet how to get such an “at a glance” overview in the CLI.

For advanced stuff the CLI is still very convenient.

If you’re ok with doing some selfhosting, a DNS filter like PiHole or Adguard Home should take care of those. A nice bonus is that these can also block most in-app ads :)

If you setup a VPN like Tailscale you can even make your phone traffic go through a DNS filter you serve at home, so your privacy is always protected.

It looks like the dev is working on porting Tasks to other platforms, including desktop. Though it’s still in development, so not a solution right now.
