Trayzero brings David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) method to your iPhone. Free, no ads, no account, no sign-up. Your data lives on your device. Always. THE FIVE GTD STEPS, BUILT IN Capture - one tap, anywhere. A floating Capture button on every screen. Share anything from any app straight into your inbox. Voice-to-text for hands-free thoughts. A Home Screen widget for the fastest possible "add to inbox." Clarify - the killer flow. Process Inbox runs you through your captures one at a time, card-stack style. Each card walks the full GTD decision tree: actionable? Two-minute rule? Delegate? Single step or a project? When? Where? You hit inbox-zero faster than you thought possible. Organize - the canonical GTD lists. Inbox, Next Actions, Projects, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, Calendar, Reference. Plus a real Project type with outcome, next-action warning, and Active / On Hold / Someday / Done / Dropped status. Seven default @-contexts you can extend (@phone, @computer, @errands, @home, @office, @anywhere, @waiting). Areas of Responsibility for the higher altitudes. Reflect - a Weekly Review wizard. A seven-step Friday review walks you through the canonical GTD pass: clear inbox, review next actions, check waiting-for, scan calendar, review someday/maybe, look at projects, set next week's intentions. Daily review supported too. Engage - do now. The Engage tab filters Next Actions by Context, Energy (low / medium / high), and Time Available (under 5m / 15m / 30m / 1h). Pull up the actions that match the moment you're in. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK Due-date, defer-until, waiting-for follow-up, and weekly-review nudges fire as system notifications with action buttons - Done, Snooze, Move to Next Actions. Calendar two-way sync mirrors dated items into your system calendar. VOICE, PHOTOS, AUDIO Capture by voice. Attach photos or voice memos to any item. PRIVACY YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT - 100% on-device. SQLite under the hood. - No account, no servers, no analytics. - Crash reporting is opt-in and off by default. - Backup/restore as plain JSON: you own your data, you can take it anywhere. WHO IT'S FOR - GTD practitioners who want a clean, focused app that respects the method. - Anyone tired of cloud-syncing personal task data through someone else's servers. - People who want their tasks where their phone is - and nowhere else. Trayzero is an independent app inspired by the Getting Things Done methodology. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by David Allen Company.

About

Vantli

Read full description

Vantli is a task and project manager built around Getting Things Done (GTD) โ€” the simple idea that your mind is for having ideas, not holding onto them. Capture anything, instantly. Type it, dictate it, snap a photo, or attach a file โ€” right from the top of your Inbox. Nothing gets lost, nothing has to be filed away perfectly in the moment. Clarify when you're ready. Turn a raw capture into a real task: give it a clear title, decide what kind of commitment it is โ€” a Next Action you can do right now, something you're Waiting For from someone else, a Someday idea you're not ready to commit to, or just file it under a project with No status yet โ€” add context tags, a due date, and any attachments. See exactly what to do next. Your Next Actions list is organized by context, project, or due date, so you can look at your day the way that actually makes sense to you โ€” what you can do at your desk, what you can do on the phone, what's due this week. Track what you're waiting on. Delegated something? Waiting for a reply? Vantli keeps a dedicated list so those open loops don't quietly disappear. Review with confidence. A guided weekly review walks stale tasks, cold projects, and your someday list one at a time, so nothing sits forgotten and your system stays trustworthy. Organize with projects and contexts. Group related tasks into projects, tag them with contexts like @calls or @errands, and see everything at a glance. Vantli is built for people who want their task list to be a place they actually trust โ€” not another inbox to feel guilty about.
