Mindwtr is a complete Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity system designed for "Mind Like Water."
Built for speed and privacy, it gives you a powerful, distraction-free way to capture and organize your life without cloud subscriptions.
DESIGNED FOR FOCUS
Mindwtr is simple by default and powerful when you need it.
Whether you are capturing a quick thought on the go or planning a complex project, the interface gets out of your way.
CORE GTD WORKFLOW
- Capture: Instantly add tasks to your Inbox the moment you think of them.
- Clarify: Process your inbox quickly with the 2-minute rule.
- Organize: Sort tasks into Projects, Contexts (@work, @home), and Areas.
- Reflect: Stay on top of your goals with the built-in Weekly Review.
- Engage: Filter Next Actions by context or energy level to know exactly what to do next.
POWERFUL FEATURES
- Focus View: A unified dashboard combining your Agenda and Next Actions.
- Kanban Boards: Visualize your projects with drag-and-drop boards.
- Local-First: Your data lives on your device. No login required, no tracking.
- Markdown Support: Add rich notes and descriptions to your tasks.
- Flexible Sync: Seamlessly sync with your desktop via File Sync (iCloud Drive, Syncthing) or WebDAV (Nextcloud).
PRIVACY FOCUSED
We believe your tasks are your private business. Mindwtr works completely offline and does not track your data or require an account.
I’m really encouraged by this REAL ‘Getting Things Done’ methodology app. It gets so many things right that other productivity apps attempt (but fall short). Mindwtr is fully featured and does not sit behind a paywall. It’s well designed and offers a solid experience on launch. I’ve already donated to the dev and expect great things for this tool in the future.
- Added backup restore and Todoist import so it is easier to move your data in and out of Mindwtr.
- Improved iCloud sync startup by staging CloudKit until first sync and handling missing record types more safely.
- Mobile sync now snapshots app state, avoids repeated conflict alerts, and cancels pending checklist flushes on delete.
- Restoring projects and areas is now supported, and area color editing is reliable again.
