Getting Things Done®, and nothing else

Your task app quietly became another project to manage.

Perspectives to configure. Plugins to wire up. Databases to design. Somewhere under all of it was the actual work. SmartyTask does one thing: it runs your GTD. There's nothing to set up, so there's nothing to abandon.

The feature list is what's missing

Everything you don't have to do.

The best part of a tool built to do one thing is the long list of things it refuses to make you do.

✕ NOT THIS
Build a systemNo custom perspectives, no formula columns, no template marketplace. The system is already GTD.
✕ NOT THIS
Manage the toolNo app updates, no plugin conflicts, no sync errors at the worst possible moment.
✕ NOT THIS
Bend the methodYou don't reshape GTD to fit the app. The app already speaks Actions, Contexts, Ticklers, Altitudes.
✕ NOT THIS
Learn an interfaceSnappy, obvious, quiet. If you've read the book, you already know how to use it.
The whole idea

A tool you can't outgrow because there's nothing to outgrow.

Complexity is why you quit the last five. SmartyTask is deliberately, stubbornly focused: capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage. The method, on a screen, and not one thing more.

Capture from anywhere

Email straight into your inbox

Send anything to your private inbox address and it's captured before the thought escapes. The single most-loved feature, and the one the bloated tools make impossible.

"Email-to-inbox plus contexts. That's 90% of GTD right there, and it's all I needed."

Straight answers

This sounds too simple. Is it actually full GTD?

Yes — full GTD, minus the parts you were never supposed to be doing in the first place. Actions, Contexts, Projects, Someday/Maybe, Ticklers, and Altitudes are all native. What's missing is the configuration overhead, on purpose.

I have years of stuff in another app. Can I move?

Most people start fresh by capturing what's actually on their plate right now — which is a faster, cleaner GTD reset than migrating years of cruft. Start your trial and rebuild your inbox in an afternoon.

Web-based — is my data safe?

It lives on our secure servers with daily backups. Nothing to lose to a dead laptop, a failed sync, or a phone in a lake.

What does it cost after the trial?

$9.99/month or $99/year, your choice. No card needed to start, so you're never billed unless you decide to stay.
