A GTD app, shaped by 40 years of practice.
Built around the daily, weekly, and monthly review rhythms that make GTD work.
I learned Getting Things Done directly from David Allen in a small 1985 seminar. After four decades of practicing GTD with every tool I could find — paper organizers, Lotus Agenda, Ecco Pro, Outlook Tasks, and a long list of modern alternatives — none of them quite fit the methodology. So I built the app I’d been wishing for.

No priority labels
Long practice taught me that “high/medium/low” inflates until everything is high. Setting a start date is the act of prioritization — the Today view shows what you decided is for today, not 100+ next actions filtered by a context dropdown.
A Today view that doesn’t overwhelm
Two zones — Due Today and As Time Permits — based on Michael Linenberger’s Critical Now / Opportunity Now model. Decide what to do during your reviews, not when you sit down to work.
Recurring tasks that actually behave
A template-and-instance model means editing one occurrence doesn’t quietly break the series, and skipping a week doesn’t corrupt the pattern. Templates define the schedule; instances are the real tasks you work on.
Local-first, optional cloud, no subscription
Your data live in your browser by default. Add cloud sync if you want multi-device access. No ads, no tracking, no profile-building. Free.
Built for
Long-time GTD practitioners frustrated by generic to-do apps. Outlook Tasks users seeking a replacement that respects the methodology. Anyone who’s read Getting Things Done and tried — without success — to make Todoist or Things or Notion fit GTD.
