Mindwtr: The Privacy-First GTD System

Mindwtr is a Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity tool designed for "Mind Like Water." It runs completely offline—no accounts, no tracking, and no subscriptions.

The Core GTD Workflow

Capture: Instantly offload thoughts to your Inbox.

Clarify: Process tasks rapidly with the built-in "2-Minute Rule" timer.

Organize: Sort tasks by Contexts (@work, @home), Areas, and Projects.

Reflect: Keep your system trustworthy with a guided Weekly Review.

Engage: Filter Next Actions by energy level or time available.

Powerful Features

Local-First: Your data lives on your device (SQLite). You own it 100%.

Flexible Sync: Sync privately via File System (Syncthing, iCloud) or WebDAV (Nextcloud).

Focus View: A unified dashboard for your calendar events and next actions.

Kanban Boards: Visualize projects with drag-and-drop columns.

Stop managing your data. Start getting things done.
