# DGT GTD

> Free Android to-do list built for Getting Things Done

DGT GTD is a free to-do list app for Android that can be set up around the Getting Things Done method or the user's own system. Tasks are organized by folder, context, location, tag and star, with subtasks nested to any depth, repeating schedules and nagging alarms. It syncs with Toodledo through a separate plugin and with Dropbox or FTP. The developer, dgtale, still labels the app a work in progress and accepts donations.

## Key features

- **Folders, contexts and tags:** Tasks are organized by folder, context, location, tag, star and status, and lists can be filtered by status, context and tag.
- **Unlimited hierarchy:** Tasks, checklists, folders and goals can be nested to any number of levels, and a bulk edit mode changes several items at once.
- **Repeats and nagging alarms:** Recurring items support complex repeating patterns, and nagging and insistent alarms keep sounding for a reminder that has not been dealt with.
- **Sync and backup:** The app syncs with Toodledo, on free or paid Toodledo accounts, through a separate plugin, keeps devices in sync through Dropbox or FTP, and backs up to Dropbox.
- **Quick capture:** Tasks can be added quickly by typing or voice recognition, and the app can create a task automatically after a missed call.
- **Automation and widgets:** Llama and Tasker actions can drive the app, it has a scrollable, resizable widget, and a plugin feeds Pure Calendar and Agenda Widget.

## Good for

- Android users who follow Getting Things Done with contexts and folders
- Toodledo account holders who want an Android client
- People who want insistent, repeating alarms on their tasks

## Worth knowing

- It is Android only, and its Google Play listing still calls it a work in progress and not a full implementation.
- Toodledo sync needs a separate plugin that is marked beta and warns that data loss might happen.
- The developer's site says Dropbox and FTP sync need a DGT GTD Value Pack, but that add-on's Google Play page was not found when checked.
- The website was last updated in 2019. The developer also publishes DGT SODA, which it describes as the evolution of DGT GTD.
