What is GTD Simple?
GTD Simple is a free, open-source web application designed to help users implement the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology for personal task and project management. Developed by Sebastien Le Callonnec, GTD Simple aims to provide an easy-to-use system for capturing, organizing, reviewing and doing the tasks and projects that we need to accomplish in our daily lives.
Some key features of GTD Simple include:
- Inboxes for capturing tasks, ideas, notes quickly
- Contexts to organize tasks based on where they can be done (errands, phone calls, etc)
- Projects to group related tasks and track progress
- Due dates, start dates, reminders, repeats for tasks
- Review perspectives to see outstanding tasks by project, context, due date
- Ability to mark tasks complete and log effort against them
- Tags for additional categorization
- Calendar view of tasks
- Attach files and notes to tasks
- Reports to analyze task metrics
- Mobile-friendly responsive design
As an open source PHP/MySQL application, GTD Simple can be self-hosted on one's own server. The code is available on GitHub. It offers a simpler, faster alternative to heavier applications like OmniFocus or Things for those seeking to apply GTD without extensive configuration upfront.
Todoist, Microsoft To Do, Things, ToDoList, MyLifeOrganized, Doit.im, Remember The Milk, sleek, Toodledo, Nirvana, Todo.txt are some alternatives to GTD Simple.
