Everdo: Offline GTD System

Everdo

About this app

Your trusted system for Getting Things Done.

Everdo is a complete GTD implementation that works fully offline, syncs end-to-end encrypted across your devices, and is yours forever with a single purchase. No account required to start. No subscription to keep going.

OFFLINE-FIRST, NOT CLOUD-DEPENDENT
Everdo works fully offline — no internet needed, no loading spinners, no outages between you and your task list. Reliable in the subway, on a plane, off the grid.

YOUR DATA, NOT OURS
Your tasks live on your device. When you turn on sync, your content is end-to-end encrypted before it leaves you — not even we can read it. No data mining, no AI training, no ads.

BUY ONCE, OWN FOREVER
The core app is a one-time purchase. No subscription required. No one can hold your trusted system hostage when budgets get tight or pricing changes.

EVERY MAJOR PLATFORM
Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux — all first-class. Sync your GTD system across every device you use, no matter the ecosystem.

INDEPENDENT AND SELF-FUNDED
Everdo has been built by an independent developer since 2017. No investors, no buyout risk, no surprise pivots. Built to keep working, not to be sold.

"Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them." — David Allen

Ratings and reviews

This is actually the only one app that gets GTD or more generally task management right. 1. Cross-platform: including linux. 2. Data exportation, very impoetant, if for any reason you decided to move to another app, at least you don't loose your record, and in the AI era parsing json yourself is very easy. 3. Negative selection for tags, VERY CRUCIAL AND MOST APPS LACK!! And many more points I like. Only one thing irritates me a bit: i hope filters can stay as they are, plz don't auto-reset

So much potential! This is the only GTD app that stays true to the method. The problem is the UI. It's not very intuitive, and there's no dark mode. Those are the two stars I left out. I don't want to keep using Todoist, which isn't very good for GTD, but Todoist is a lot easier on the eyes and intuitive. If Everdo can work on that, it would be amazing. Update: It's not free either, and VERY expensive. Now I know why it isn't more popular. Nice try 😑

A pretty good app. I like that it can be installed on Linux too. The pro version is a one off payment that a very reasonable price. So it's a better choice for me over Nirvana for that. I'd say the UI is not as clean as Nirvana but it's still good and well worth the money. Last update was a little while ago though so not sure if it's still actively developed. But it's a relatively simple app so not much to go wrong anyway.
