The method

What is Getting Things Done?

GTD is David Allen's five-step system for a clear head and reliable follow-through: get everything out of your mind and into a trusted system, then decide and do. GTD Brain turns those five steps into five taps.

01

Capture

Collect what has your attention. Every idea, task and worry lands in one inbox — by type, voice or share sheet.

02

Clarify

Decide what each item means. Is it actionable? What's the very next step? GTD Brain asks, you answer in a tap.

03

Organize

Put it where it belongs — next actions by context, projects with outcomes, waiting-for, and someday/maybe.

04

Reflect

Review regularly so the system stays trusted. A guided Weekly Review keeps every list current and complete.

05

Engage

Just do. With clear next actions sorted by where you are, you always know the very next right thing to work on.

The product

A board that thinks the way the method does.

Five columns map one-to-one to the GTD workflow. Drag by hand, or let the agent do it. Either way, the system stays trustworthy.

From a messy inbox to a clear next move.

Empty your head into the Inbox without deciding anything. Clarify later — each item becomes a next action, a project, or something to wait on. Nothing slips through the cracks.

  • Inbox → Next → Projects → Waiting → Someday. The five lists GTD asks for, and only those.
  • Every project pins its next action, so you always know the one concrete step that moves it.
  • Fluid drag-and-drop with a calm, distraction-free board — no badges screaming for attention.

The differentiator

Tell the agent what you want done. Watch it happen.

A conversational agent drives the same board you do — it filters, creates, moves and edits cards in plain language. Every action is announced, legible, and reversible.

  • “Triage my inbox” — and watch captures turn into sorted, context-tagged next actions.
  • “What can I do at my desk?” — it filters the board to exactly that working set.
  • It runs in the background. You're never blocked — keep working while it works.

Triage my inbox and tag everything by context.

Next actions, organized by where you actually are.

GTD's secret weapon is context. Tag each next action with where or how it gets done, then see only what's possible right now — at your desk, on a call, or out running errands.
