Say it. NextThing writes the task. Tap the mic, speak one sentence, and NextThing turns it into a proper task — due date, context, project and person already filled in. Or type a rough note and let AI clean it up. What used to take five taps now takes one. Underneath is a complete Getting Things Done system, so nothing you capture ever gets lost. Capture in seconds • Voice capture — speak, and the task writes itself • AI task parsing — turn a messy note into a structured task; keep the suggestions you want, drop the rest • Inline tags while you type — #context, @contact, ~project, !!priority • Forward an email straight into your inbox Clarify and organize, the GTD way • Guided inbox processing — one decision at a time, until your inbox is empty • Next Actions, Projects, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe and Scheduled lists • Areas of Focus — file every project under the part of your life it belongs to • Contexts and contacts — filter by where you are or who you're waiting on • Recurring tasks and deferred start dates • Checklists inside task descriptions Reflect, so the system stays trustworthy • A Weekly Review checklist that walks you through every list • Review reminders you'll actually keep Engage • Filter your next actions by context, time or energy — then just do • Calendar — add a task to your calendar, or subscribe to a live feed of everything scheduled • Search across every task and project Everywhere you work • iPhone, iPad and Mac, with a desktop app for your other machines • Offline-first — capture on a plane, it syncs when you land • Light, dim and true-black themes for OLED screens • Sign in with Apple supported Why GTD? Getting Things Done is David Allen's method, trusted by millions. The idea is simple: your head is for having ideas, not for holding them. Capture everything into one trusted place, decide what each thing means, and keep lists you'd actually look at. Less noise in your head, more finished work. Most to-do list apps let you write things down and stop there. NextThing gives you the workflow that turns a messy inbox into clear next actions — and a calm head. No setup weekend, no course to take. Open the app, say your first task out loud, and the workflow does the rest. Premium AI parsing and voice capture include 15 free suggestions every month. Premium makes them unlimited and adds Telegram quick-capture, email-to-inbox and the live calendar feed. Auto-renewing subscription, monthly or annual. Cancel anytime in your device subscription settings. Privacy: https://nextthinggtd.com/privacy Terms: https://nextthinggtd.com/terms
