tingdo

GTD practitioners

You know GTD. tingdo is built for it.

You think in next actions, contexts, and a weekly review. You want a tool that already works the way you do, so your time goes into the work itself, not into bending an app into shape around the method. That is what tingdo is for: straightforward, pure GTD, with no workarounds to build or maintain.

The method is already here

Open tingdo and everything is in place. Inbox is a view. Next Actions is the home screen, grouped by context. Type # and a context is there. Waiting For and Someday/Maybe are statuses. Type * and a reference note lives inside your project, right next to the tasks that need it. The weekly review walks you through each step.

Nothing to configure, nothing to wire together. You capture, clarify, organize, review, and do, and the structure is already there to hold it.

No workarounds needed

In most tools, GTD is something you assemble. Labels standing in for contexts, filtered views for next actions, a second database for reference notes, a separate checklist for the review. tingdo skips all of that. The principles are the product, so there is nothing to approximate and nothing to keep patched together. The extras that usually tempt you away from clean GTD are simply not here.

How that plays out day to day

Projects and next actions stay distinct

A project has an outcome. A next action is the one step you can take toward it. tingdo keeps the two separate by design, so "plan the trip" lives as a project and the step you can actually do sits underneath it, clear and ready.

Capture takes a title and nothing more

You type the thought and it lands in your inbox. You clarify later, when you have the headspace, so nothing gets lost to friction.

Waiting For is a real place

When you hand something off, you move it to Waiting For. It leaves your next actions but stays in view, and the weekly review brings it back and asks where it stands.

Someday/Maybe has a home

Ideas you are not ready to commit to rest out of your daily flow. The weekly review surfaces them again, so you choose when each one becomes active.

Dates only when they are real

tingdo organizes by context and intention, not by a calendar. Deadlines exist for the few tasks that truly have one, and the rest stay free of them.

The structure lives in the app, not your memory

The rules that keep GTD running are built in, not conventions you invented and have to remember. Step away for a few weeks or open it on a new device, and the system is where you left it.

A review that carries you through

The weekly review is the part most systems leave to you. In tingdo it leads.

It shows each project and asks a quiet question: does this have a next action? If not, you decide the next step, mark it done, or move it to someday before you continue. It surfaces every waiting-for item and asks where it stands. Nothing stalls quietly.

You do not design the review. You do it. That is the whole idea.
