Around it there are holes the listing admits, with no calendar integration and the AI review assistant still a Pro beta. |

Key features
Doit.im
- GTD workflow
- Organizes work into goals, projects and next actions in the style of Getting Things Done, a method the site names in its title.
- Google Calendar sync
- Pro keeps Doit.im in two-way sync with Google Calendar, so calendar events can be managed inside the app.
- Subtasks and manual sorting
- Pro lets you nest lists under a task and sort goals, projects, next actions and subtasks by hand.
- Daily plan and review
- Pro includes a daily plan with time estimates for the day's tasks and a review at day's end.
- Add tasks by email
- Pro gives you a personal task mailbox, so tasks can be sent in by email, and tasks can be sent to other users.
Nirvana
- Built-in GTD lists
- To-dos move between Inbox, Next, Waiting, Scheduled and Someday lists, and a Focus list collects the ones you star for attention now.
- Projects, areas and reference lists
- Projects group related to-dos, areas of focus separate parts of your life, and reference lists hold material that is not actionable. Basic accounts cap all three.
- Tags, contexts and filters
- Filter to-dos by tags, areas, contacts, energy and time required to see what is practical for where you are and how much time you have.
- Capture and Focus by email
- Forwarding an email to your Nirvana address turns it into a to-do, and the Focus list can be emailed to you on chosen days of the week.
- Scheduled and recurring to-dos
- Scheduled to-dos stay out of the actionable lists until their start date, and due dates can be set on to-dos and projects. Recurring to-dos need Pro.
- AI assistant and MCP server
- A built-in assistant, in beta for Pro early-access members, runs guided reviews. An MCP server lets clients such as Claude and ChatGPT read and create tasks; updating them needs Pro.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
