What Mindwtr is

Mindwtr is a free, open-source to-do app for managing personal tasks with the Getting Things Done (GTD) workflow. It takes work from capture into guided inbox processing and project organization, then supports daily and weekly reviews and next actions filtered by context. Its Focus view combines a time-based agenda with next actions; projects, a calendar and a Kanban-style board offer other ways to plan. The app also includes global search, audio capture, reusable lists, attachments, Markdown notes and recurring tasks, with an optional Pomodoro timer. It can import tasks from Todoist, TickTick, DGT GTD and OmniFocus, and use external calendars and ICS feeds.

Tasks and other app data are stored locally. For optional sync, users choose a service such as iCloud, Dropbox, WebDAV, files or a self-hosted server. Mindwtr says the developer cannot access data synced directly between a device and its chosen storage provider. Optional AI is off by default and sends requests directly from the device to a selected provider or local model. Mindwtr runs on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android; offline access is available on web and mobile. The maker describes it as a one-person app, without shared workspaces, task assignments or team discussion.
