WillisGSD

Task manager that helps you get stuff done! Leverages GTD methodology while keeping your data private and secure on your device or cloud account.

WillisGSD is a fast, private, local-first task manager built around the Getting Things Done (GTD) method. Capture anything in seconds, clarify it into the right next action, and stay focused on what matters — all without an account, a subscription, or your data leaving your devices.

Everything is stored in a single local database on your device. There is no server, no login, and no tracking. If you want your tasks on more than one device, turn on optional sync through your own iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or any folder you control — your data, your storage.

THE FULL GTD LOOP • Capture — A Quick Capture sheet is one tap (or one keystroke) away on every screen. On Mac, a system-wide global hotkey opens capture even when the app is in the background. On iPhone, ask Siri to "Add a task to WillisGSD." • Clarify — Process your Inbox one item at a time with clear GTD decisions: do it now, make it a next action, delegate, defer, file as someday/maybe, turn it into a project, or trash it. • Organize — Group work into Projects, Areas of Focus, and Goals. Tag tasks with contexts, energy level, and time estimates. • Reflect — A guided Weekly Review walks you area by area, surfaces stalled projects with no next action, and auto-populates your accomplishments. • Engage — The Today view filters by context, available time, and energy so you always know the best thing to do right now.

BUILT FOR FOCUS • Inbox-zero workflow with a dedicated Clarify screen • Today / Engage view with Overdue, Due Today, and Quick Wins sections • Kanban board with configurable, drag-and-drop columns • Recurring tasks (daily / weekly / monthly with full rules) • Tickler dates that auto-promote deferred tasks when they come due • Goals with progress metrics and history • Stalled-project detection so nothing quietly stops moving • Global search across tasks, projects, goals, and references • Swipe to complete (with undo) and swipe to reschedule • Multi-select for bulk complete, move, or delete

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up — ever • No analytics, no ads, no tracking • All data stored locally in one file you can back up or export to JSON • Optional sync uses your own cloud folder or iCloud — we never see your data

APPLE-NATIVE TOUCHES • Siri & Shortcuts: "Add Task" and "Show Today" App Intents, zero setup • Deep links (willisgsd://) to jump straight to any task or view • App icon badge for tasks overdue or due today • Native menu bar and keyboard shortcuts on Mac • Light and dark themes

WillisGSD is a one-time download with no subscription. Capture freely, think clearly, and get stuff done.
