About this app

NextThing is a simple to-do list and task manager built on the Getting Things Done (GTD) method by David Allen. Capture every task in seconds, organize your to-do list the GTD way, and always know your next action — at home, at work, online or offline.

Why NextThing

Most to-do list apps let you write tasks down and stop there. NextThing is a complete GTD system: a guided workflow turns a messy inbox into clear next actions, organized projects, and a calm head.

How it works

• Capture — get tasks, ideas, and reminders into your inbox in seconds
• Clarify — process your inbox with the built-in guided GTD workflow
• Organize — sort tasks into Next Actions, Projects, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, and Scheduled lists
• Reflect — stay on track with the Weekly Review checklist
• Engage — filter your task list by context, time, or energy, and just do

Key features

• Quick capture with smart tag parsing — type #context, @contact, ~project, !!priority inline
• Guided GTD inbox processing — clarify and organize step by step
• Projects with task lists and progress tracking
• Contexts and contacts — filter your to-do list by where you are or who you need
• Recurring tasks — repeat tasks on any schedule
• Scheduled and deferred tasks with reminders — plan your day and week
• Weekly review reminders that keep your system trustworthy
• Works offline — your to-do list is always available, syncs when you're back online
• Syncs across Android, iOS, Wear OS, and desktop
• Wear OS companion app — see your next actions and capture tasks by voice right from your wrist, with a watch face complication for one-tap quick capture
• Search across all tasks and projects
• Clean, minimal design — a calm task manager that stays out of your way

Why GTD?

Getting Things Done is a proven productivity method trusted by millions. Instead of keeping everything in your head, you capture tasks in a trusted system and organize them by actionability. The result: less stress, more clarity, and steady progress on what matters.

NextThing makes GTD practical and accessible — no complex setup, no learning curve. Just open the app, capture your first task, and let the workflow guide you.
