Are you weary of drowning in never-ending to-do lists and productivity tools that only add to the complexity? It is time to reclaim your time and energy with BlitzGTD, the ultimate personal productivity system designed to help you achieve more in less time!
Forget about getting lost in convoluted methodologies and overwhelming task management. BlitzGTD takes the best principles from GTD (Getting Things Done) and supercharges them with a streamlined approach that will revolutionize the way you work.
So, what sets BlitzGTD apart?
Turbocharged Phases for Maximum Efficiency
BlitzGTD introduces a powerful phased approach that aligns your tasks with modern agile methodologies:
Today: Seize the Day
Start every day fresh with the Today phase. Throw everything that comes your way in your Today list, keeping it short and focused. Prioritize, categorize, and handle tasks one by one. With BlitzGTD, you'll be in control, and tasks will flow smoothly from start to finish.
Sprint: Accelerate Your Progress
The Sprint phase is where you have tasks for the week. After completing your Today list, turn to the Sprint list for your next challenges. Keep it reasonable and stay on track towards your goals.
Backlog: Fuel for the Future
The Backlog phase is your treasure trove of ideas and tasks for future sprints. Store everything you want to tackle later. But don't let it become a graveyard! BlitzGTD keeps your Backlog active and tidy, ensuring you never lose sight of important tasks waiting for their time to shine.
Archive: Remember Your Triumphs
While others leave completed tasks in the dark, BlitzGTD celebrates your victories in the Archive phase. Preserve valuable information for years to come. You'll be amazed at how it aids recall and frees up mental space, especially when requests about past work come knocking.
Schedule: Time Your Success
For tasks with specific deadlines or time-sensitive requirements, the Schedule phase is your trusty ally. Pinpoint when tasks should be pushed to your Today list. Add reminders or set up recurring schedules effortlessly. Stay on top of your commitments with ease.
Unleash Your Potential with Smart Planning
BlitzGTD's planning events empower you to take charge of your day and week:
Daily Event: Conquer Each Day
Start your day with the Daily event. Once a day, dive into your calendar, Today, and Sprint lists. With a clear vision of what lies ahead, you'll arrange tasks strategically, ensuring a productive day ahead. No more aimless scrambling—BlitzGTD keeps you focused on what matters most.
Weekly Event: Command Your Week
Before each week unfolds, the Weekly event grants you the power to harness its potential fully. Take a dedicated moment to review your calendar, Sprint, and Backlog. Fine-tune your plan, ensuring a well-structured, intentional week. Say goodbye to overwhelm and hello to balanced productivity.
BlitzGTD provides versatile features to tackle even the most complex tasks effortlessly:
Simple hierarchy: Where Complexity Finds Clarity
No more going into the rabbit hole. Tasks have Sub-Tasks and that's it. You work on a complex project? Yeah, that's the task. The detailed planning is done in the linked project planning tool, which does it the best. Embrace simplicity like never before, while keeping your workflow simple and organized.
Tags: Context, Simplified
Forget about rigid folders and categories. BlitzGTD embraces the power of tags as first-class citizens. Use 1-2 tags to add context and gain a holistic overview of your tasks. No more decision paralysis—simply tag and go!
Attachments: Secure what is necessary
Upload images or files that are part of the task to have everything in one place. No more searching for the screenshot!

New tag handling
How to assign tags got a real makeover. Now you can directly assign all visible tags on creation, in the details or in the context menu.
New markdown editor
The item details markdown editor was completely replaced. Now you can directly type and get highlighting. On mobile, there is also a nice toolbar for helping you.
New repeating behaviour
Repeating items are now persistent. Before, on each matched day a new clone was created. Now updating the item will update the series.
Reversed items order
Items are now ordered in ascending behaviour. That means new items will be added to the bottom. This leads to a more consistent behaviour.
Shake it
You can now shake-to-undo all item operations.
Experimental AI Companion
You can now optionally configure an OpenAI API key and define prompts for several places in the application and it will help you with repeating items. Also it is possible to set placeholders to give the AI Companion more context like your tasks or the upcoming weather.
This is an advanced and experimental feature. Thus it is currently not much documented, as you should use it only if you know what you are doing! If you don't configure it, nothing will change for you. The AI companion is purely optional. This might change in the future, when on-device AIs will be a thing and no extra fees are required. Up to that point, i won't integrate the AI Companion further and it stays optional!
Be aware, when configured, your prompt gets directly send to OpenAIs servers. That means they will also be responsible for processing your data and their terms of usage apply. This also means your prompt results will only be visible when their servers are reachable and functional! I don't have any kind of access to your API key and the transmitted data and can't support you with issues of your connection. Please monitor the usage of the API key and your network if you don't trust me.
