Solutions · Getting Things Done

The task manager built around your next action.

Toodledo has been the quiet favorite of Getting Things Done practitioners since 2004. Inbox, contexts, energy levels, saved-search reviews — every part of the GTD workflow has a native home, not a workaround.

Most task apps make you bend GTD to fit them. Toodledo is the other way around.

Custom fields and folders for your contexts. Saved searches that surface your daily next-action list in one click. A full Outlines surface for project planning. A Habits module that doubles as a Weekly Review checklist. After two decades of feature-by-feature feedback from GTD practitioners, the result is a tool that fits the methodology — not the other way around.

The five steps

Every step has a native home in Toodledo.

No more keeping the methodology in your head and the tasks somewhere else. Here's how David Allen's five steps line up with what's already in the app.

1. Capture

Inbox folder plus quick-add via web, iOS, Android, email-to-task or the public REST API. Get it out of your head in under five seconds, wherever you are.

2. Clarify

Break captures into actionable next steps with subtasks, contexts, time estimates and energy levels. Two-minute-rule checkbox. Reference items go to Outlines.

3. Organize

Folders per area of focus, tags for contexts (@home, @calls, @errands), Hotlist for “must-do today”. Custom fields for waiting-for and someday/maybe.

4. Reflect

Saved searches build your Weekly Review in two clicks — open loops, stalled projects, overdue, on-the-shelf. The Habits module tracks the review itself, gently.

5. Engage

A customizable Hotlist filters by context + time + energy so you always see what's actually doable now. Calendar sync keeps the day job in view.

The setup, in 20 minutes

A starter template pre-builds the folders, tags and saved searches above. Import it after signup and you're running GTD by lunch.

Built for the parts other apps skip

The GTD primitives, all native.

Contexts as first-class

@calls, @errands, @home, @waiting — model them however your trusted system requires. Filter by a single context or combine with energy and time.

Outlines for project planning

The “vertical thinking” surface David Allen describes — brainstorm sub-projects with no commitment, promote ideas to next actions when ready.

Saved searches = your views

“Today @home with low energy.” “All next actions for the Q3 launch.” Save the queries that match your reviews; click once to open.

Recurring rules that work

“First Monday of each month.” “Every other Thursday.” “Three days before the 15th.” The most flexible recurrence engine in the category.

Habits module

Use it for daily and weekly reviews. Lightweight scaffolding, no streak shaming — the discipline the methodology relies on, automated.

Public REST API + Zapier

Pipe captures from Slack, calendar invites, email forwards, Apple Notes — anything with a webhook becomes a Toodledo Inbox source.

“I’ve tried OmniFocus, Things, TickTick. Toodledo is the only one that doesn’t fight me on contexts.”

From the GTD trenches

Questions practitioners ask.

Does Toodledo work for “vanilla” GTD or does it impose a methodology?

Pure GTD. Toodledo gives you the primitives — folders, tags, saved searches, custom fields — and lets you assemble your own trusted system. No opinionated workflow is forced on you.

What plan do I need for the full GTD workflow?

Standard at $3.99/mo (annual) covers everything most GTD users need: subtasks, saved searches, custom alarms and all integrations. Plus at $5.99/mo adds full history and file storage if you keep reference material in-app. Free is enough to evaluate the fit.

Can I import from OmniFocus, Things or TickTick?

Yes — export to CSV from your current app and use Toodledo's import wizard. Most users complete the migration in under 15 minutes; projects, contexts, due dates and notes map automatically.

Is there a starter template?

Yes. A pre-built GTD setup with Inbox, Next Actions, Projects, Waiting For and Someday/Maybe folders, the standard contexts and the four core saved searches. Free to import after signup.

Does it work cross-platform?

Native iOS and Android apps and a full-featured web app that works on any desktop OS. Real-time sync across all devices on every plan, including Free.
