Looking for an OmniFocus alternative?
OmniFocus is the most thorough GTD implementation out there. But thoroughness comes at a cost: complexity. tingdo gives you the GTD essentials without the overhead.
What makes tingdo different
Complexity
Deep feature set with perspectives, custom views, review cycles, defer dates, and forecast mode.
Intentionally simple. Next actions, projects, contexts, weekly review. Nothing more.
Platform
Apple only (Mac, iPhone, iPad).
Web app that works on any device. Android and iOS apps available.
Learning curve
Significant setup and configuration needed to match your workflow.
Start capturing immediately. The GTD workflow is the default, not a configuration option.
Price
Premium pricing with separate purchases per platform.
One account works everywhere.
Weekly review
Built-in review with configurable intervals per project.
A guided, step-by-step weekly review. Simpler, more structured, less to configure.
Bring your tasks with you
Switching from OmniFocus? Export your data as CSV from OmniFocus, then import it into tingdo. Your project structure and contexts transfer over.
New to GTD? Learn how the methodology works before you switch, or see the full GTD task manager overview to understand how tingdo implements each step.
A different approach
Next actions, not deadlines.
The only question that matters: what's the next thing you can do? Everything else is context, not urgency.
No guilt.
There is no red-badge panic. No shame. A task is either done or it is not, and that is fine.
Capture in seconds.
A title is all you need. Project, context, deadline: all optional, all addable later.
Review, don't react.
A calm weekly review keeps your system trustworthy. One step at a time, no overwhelm.
Notes live with your tasks.
Reference material like passwords, dimensions, or policy numbers lives right inside your projects. No separate notes app needed.
One input for everything.
Search, create, navigate: all from a single input field. Type to find anything, capture a task, or jump to a project.
