Seems to be a really great app. I really kove the UI and the many features.

I was looking quite long for an app like MindWtr: A well working Todo app with a decent UI that can be self-hosted. I can add or tick tasks either via web-app or iOS and everything syncs. On top of that, MindWtr even respects the GTD workflow. This app is far too unknown for how good it actually is.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

Fairly new but the developer is constantly updating it and fixing bugs. Shaping up to be a great, FOSS GTD app.

Has a great guided GTD review process (for daily, weekly reviews) that implements everything outlined in GTD (such as clarifying tasks, reviewing stale projects, waiting etc.). This can be very useful to making the review process easier and ensuring you review things properly.

Has notifications for tasks and review reminders. Also has AI integrations for organizing your tasks. If you face any issue with the app, report it on the github page and the developer will fix it within a day, no joke.
