Start with whatever is on your mind, from "plan Mom's birthday" to "learn guitar someday." Mindwtr guides you through what to do with it. You don't need to learn GTD first.
Capture it. Send tasks and ideas to your Inbox with a desktop shortcut, phone widget, or share sheet.
Choose a next step. Break a bigger plan into actions, track promises in Waiting For, and keep future ideas in Someday/Maybe.
Pick something to do. Open Focus for today's schedule and your next actions. Filter by where you are or the tools you have with you.
Review each week. Follow the guided review to check your projects, follow up on waiting items, and catch loose ends.
GTD from capture to review. Work through your Inbox, plan projects, and follow a guided weekly review to keep both your next steps and longer-term plans in view.
Add the tools you need. Plan with a calendar, set up recurring tasks, and keep notes and attachments with your work. AI assistance is off by default and yours to enable.
The name Mindwtr comes from mind like water: write down what’s on your mind so you can give your attention to the task at hand.
Mindwtr is built for your personal tasks. Start with a simple list and use more options as you need them. There are no streaks or productivity scores to keep up with.
