Mindwtr - GTD Task Manager

Your head keeps reminding you of things at the worst times. Mindwtr gives them a safe home.

Mindwtr (pronounced "mind water") is a free, open-source to-do app built on the Getting Things Done (GTD) method. Write down every task and idea the moment it appears, sort it in seconds, and see only what you can do right now. No account, no subscription, and your data stays on your device.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Dump it. A task, an idea, a worry: type it or speak it, and it lands in your Inbox.
2. Sort it. A short guided pass: do it now, schedule it, hand it off, or shelve it for someday.
3. Do it. The Focus view shows only what you can act on right now, nothing else.
4. Reset weekly. A guided review catches loose ends, so the list stays trustworthy and your head stays clear.

New to GTD? The idea is simple: your head is for having ideas, not for holding them. Mindwtr walks you through every step.

WHY MINDWTR

- Works completely offline. No account required.
- Your tasks stay on your device. Sync is optional and you choose where: Dropbox, a folder you control, WebDAV, your own server, or iCloud on Apple devices.
- The full GTD method built in: Inbox, Next, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, Projects, Areas, Contexts, and reviews.
- Capture from anywhere: quick add, widgets, sharing from other apps, or voice.
- Plan your way: list, calendar, and kanban board views.
- Reminders, repeating tasks, checklists, Markdown notes, and attachments.
- Import from Todoist, TickTick, OmniFocus, and more.
- Free and open source. No ads, no tracking, no lock-in.

SIMPLE BY DEFAULT, POWERFUL WHEN YOU NEED IT

Fewer fields, fewer knobs, no clutter. Advanced tools, like the kanban board, automation, and an optional AI assistant that uses your own AI account, stay out of sight until you want them.

Mindwtr means "mind like water": the calm you get when nothing is rattling around in your head.

- Opt-in time tracking: linked Pomodoro focus sessions add minutes to a synced Time Spent field.
- Undo replaces delete and archive confirmations; the calendar week follows your locale.
- Capture with the %person token, share files into the capture sheet, and pin a Quick capture notification.
- Faster sync and smoother lists on large libraries; checklists independent from notes.
- Clearer sync conflict reporting and new safeguards against data loss.
