Mind like water.·mindwtr.app
Mindwtr is a free, open-source, local-first GTD and to-do application for desktop, mobile, and web. It lets users capture tasks quickly, organize them by project, context, and status, and follow the Getting Things Done (GTD) workflow of capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage. The app works offline, requires no account, and keeps primary task data on the user's device, with optional user-controlled sync.
