Obra Todo

A simple GTD todo app for the Mac. Capture from anywhere, organize with projects and contexts, and keep every todo in an open JSON file that agents can read and write.

Capture

An Inbox for everything, a Quick Add bar inside the app, and a global ⇧⌘U panel that captures one item from anywhere on your Mac — then gets out of the way. How capturing works →
