# Everdo

> Offline-first GTD task manager sold as a one-time purchase

Everdo is a task manager built on the Getting Things Done method, with next actions, projects, contexts and areas of responsibility. It is local-first: each device keeps its own database and works without an internet connection or an account. Devices sync over a local network at no cost or through a paid end-to-end encrypted service, and the Pro upgrade is a one-time purchase.

## Key features

- **Next actions and a Focus list:** Actions from active projects and standalone actions are pulled into one Next Actions list, and the Focus list narrows the view to due and starred actions.
- **Parallel and sequential projects:** A sequential project sends only its top action to the Next Actions list, while a parallel project sends all of its next actions.
- **Tags, contexts and areas:** Tags filter tasks by context, contact or label, and areas of responsibility let you work within one role at a time. The Free plan allows 2 areas.
- **Local database with two sync options:** Every device keeps a full local copy of the data. Sync runs over your own network with a desktop app as the server, or through the paid Encrypted Sync Service.
- **Scheduling, reminders and recurrence:** Tasks can be scheduled for specific dates with reminders, and repeating tasks are created from recurrence patterns you define.
- **Quick capture and inline commands:** Quick capture collects tasks and ideas on every platform. In the desktop app, commands typed at the end of a title, such as :n to move an item to Next, apply on save.

## Good for

- GTD followers who want projects, contexts and next actions built in
- People who would rather buy a license once than subscribe
- Keeping task data on your own devices, with encrypted sync as an option
- Linux users: desktop builds come as AppImage, .deb, .pacman and Snap

## Worth knowing

- The Free plan stops at 5 projects and 2 areas of responsibility.
- Encrypted online sync is not part of Pro. It is an ongoing fee listed at $1.66/mo, and the billing basis is not shown on the pricing page.
- The $39.99 App Store purchase unlocks Pro on iOS only; the $99.99 website purchase covers every platform.
- There is no web app, and local network sync works only while devices are on the same configured network.
