Inspired by Getting Things Done®, Artemis is built for people who love GTD but always felt like something was missing. A lot of GTD apps do a good job with inboxes, projects, and next actions. But real life usually needs more than that. You don’t just manage tasks. You also keep notes, try to stay consistent with habits, and think in terms of bigger areas of life like health, work, relationships, or creative goals. In most apps, those pieces are scattered, bolted on, or missing entirely. Artemis was built to bring those pieces together. It gives you the structure and clarity of a GTD-style system, while also making room for the things many GTD apps leave out: • Notes for the ideas, plans, and context behind your work • Habits for the routines you want to keep showing up for • Focus areas for the bigger parts of life you want to stay aligned with • Projects and next actions to keep things moving With Artemis, your system doesn’t stop at task capture. It helps you connect what you need to do, what you’re thinking about, what you’re trying to build, and what matters most. Use Artemis to • Capture tasks, ideas, and commitments quickly • Organize projects and next actions clearly • Keep notes connected to the work they support • Track habits without needing a separate app • Manage focus areas and ongoing responsibilities • Build a trusted system that fits real life Artemis is for people who found other GTD apps too simple, too rigid, too cluttered, or just incomplete. Because the missing pieces matter. Getting Things Done® and GTD® are registered trademarks of the David Allen Company. Artemis is not affiliated with or endorsed by the David Allen Company.
