Looking for a Todoist alternative?
Todoist is a powerful task manager. But if you follow GTD, you may have noticed it was not designed for that workflow. tingdo was.
What makes tingdo different
Deadlines
Every task encourages a due date. Overdue tasks pile up in red.
Deadlines are optional. Only real deadlines get a date. Everything else is organized by context and next actions.
GTD workflow
GTD is possible with workarounds (labels as contexts, filters for next actions).
GTD is the native workflow. Next actions, contexts, projects, weekly review: all built in.
Priority levels
Four priority levels with color coding.
No priorities. The GTD approach uses contexts and the next action decision instead.
Weekly review
No built-in review. You build your own routine.
A guided weekly review walks you through every project and waiting-for item, one step at a time.
Capture
Quick add with natural language parsing.
One input field for everything. Type + to capture, / to navigate, # for contexts. All in one place.
Bring your tasks with you
tingdo can import your Todoist data. Export your tasks from Todoist as CSV, and import them into tingdo. Your projects, labels, and due dates come along.

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.
