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

Eidra is a quiet memory for the people in your life. Tap once. Speak. Or type a few words. The AI listens, extracts the names, places, interests, and follow-ups, and holds them for you. Months later, when you bump into someone and your mind goes blank, you ask Eidra. The answer is already there. WHO IT'S FOR The friend you saw at a dinner party last spring (whose new partner's name you keep almost remembering). The neighbor you've waved at for two years and never quite caught the name of. The mentor you met at a conference whose advice you can never relocate when you need it. Your kid's teacher, your cousin's husband, the barista who knows your order, the new colleague who mentioned a hobby you wanted to ask about. The dating app match whose stories you want to hold onto. The mom of your daughter's classmate. Anyone you've ever wanted to remember a little better. FOR WORK, TOO Sales reps building rapport with prospects across long deal cycles. Founders tracking the people they meet at every dinner, conference, and intro coffee. Recruiters keeping context on candidates and clients. Investors holding onto the threads of every founder pitch. Anyone whose job depends on remembering people well. Eidra is a personal CRM that does not feel like a CRM. The same fast capture, the same effortless recall, just as useful for the prospect you met last quarter as the friend you saw last weekend. WHAT MAKES IT FEEL DIFFERENT Most apps make you do the work of organizing. Eidra does it the moment you speak. You say, "had drinks with Leslie, she just got back from Lisbon and is starting sourdough lessons." Eidra extracts Leslie, the trip, the new interest, and the date. It writes a one-line entry into her timeline. It updates her structured profile so the next time you ask, "what's Leslie been up to," it remembers all of it. Her card even grows with her: as you capture more, Eidra reconciles the details over time, remembers the family and pets around her, and links her to the people she's connected to. It is not a note-taking app. It is not a journal. It is a memory aid that makes the small details feel effortless to keep. WHAT YOU CAN ASK Once you've captured something, you can ask Eidra anything about anyone: • When did I last see Marcus? • What was the name of Sarah's daughter? • Who did I meet last month interested in startups? • What was that book Olivia mentioned? Eidra answers in your own words, the moment you need it. ALSO INSIDE • Important dates & reminders: a calendar of every birthday, anniversary, and follow-up, with an optional heads-up two days before so you never miss one • Connections: link people together and remember how they relate • Family & pets: Eidra quietly remembers the people (and pets) around the people you know • Briefings: a 30-second AI recap before you see someone again • Custom prompts: ask anything specific ("what should I bring up with Eli?") • Hidden contacts: lock private notes behind Face ID • Voice or text capture, your choice every time SUBSCRIPTION TIERS Eidra is free to start, with limits.
