# GTD Brain

> GTD Brain is an AI-powered GTD app — an independent GTD task manager with an AI agent, on web, iOS and Android. A calmer way to get things done: capture, organize, and act on what matters without the noise.

GTD Brain helps you empty your head into one inbox and turns it into next actions, projects and contexts using the GTD workflow — capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage. An AI agent drives your board in plain language — triaging your inbox, filtering by context and running your weekly review — so you can do the work with a clear head. Built by Minosin AB, an independent company.

## What it is
- Product: GTD Brain — a GTD task and project manager with a built-in AI agent.
- Best for: people who want a calm, trusted system for tasks, projects, next actions and weekly reviews (GTD practitioners, and anyone drowning in scattered to-dos).
- Method: the GTD workflow — capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage. Explained in full at https://gtdbrain.com/gtd-method (the five steps, the lists, contexts, the weekly review, the two-minute rule, and where GTD usually falls apart).
- Platforms: Web, iOS and Android. One account and one subscription cover all three, syncing in real time.
- Maker: Minosin AB (independent).

## Key features
- One inbox to capture everything in seconds — thoughts, tasks, links, anything on your mind.
- An AI agent that sorts your inbox into next actions, projects and contexts, the way the GTD method intends.
- A board with six lists the agent runs with you; every action is a labelled, fully reversible step.
- Context filters so you only see what you can actually act on right now.
- A guided weekly review that keeps the whole system trusted.
- Use it from the AI you already talk to — connect GTD Brain to ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code or Cursor.
- Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, exportable at any time, and never sold.

## Connect an AI agent (MCP)
GTD Brain is a remote MCP server. Any MCP client — ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI or your own agent — can read and edit the user's board through it. The five named assistants have verified setup guides (below); other MCP clients use the same endpoint but are untested.
- MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP): https://mcp.gtdbrain.com/api/gtdbrain/v1/mcp
- Server card (tool and prompt catalog, no token needed): https://mcp.gtdbrain.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
- Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256), authorization-code + refresh-token grants. Unauthenticated calls get 401 by design.
- Client registration: dynamic client registration (RFC 7591) at https://mcp.gtdbrain.com/oauth/register, or a client-id metadata document (CIMD) URL as client_id.
- OAuth protected resource: https://mcp.gtdbrain.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
- OAuth authorization server: https://mcp.gtdbrain.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
- Scopes: gtd.read, gtd.write.
- Consent: the user signs in with an email code and clicks Allow — no subscription is needed to connect.
- Access: free and premium (https://gtdbrain.com/pricing).
- Tools include capture (add to Inbox), list_next_actions, list_projects, list_waiting_for, search_cards, create_card, update_card, move_card, archive_card, restore_card, mark_card_reviewed, update_column and context management; prompts include triage_inbox, what_now and weekly_review. The server card is the source of truth.

## FAQ
### What is GTD Brain?
GTD Brain is a task and project manager built on the GTD workflow, with a built-in AI agent. You capture everything into one inbox and the agent turns it into next actions, projects and contexts. It runs on web, iOS and Android, and is made by Minosin AB.

### Who is GTD Brain for?
It's for anyone with more on their plate than their head can hold — GTD practitioners who want a calm, trusted system, and newcomers who just want their scattered to-dos organized. If you like the idea of capturing everything in one place and letting software do the sorting, GTD Brain is built for you.

### How is GTD Brain different from a regular to-do app?
A to-do app gives you a list; GTD Brain gives you a system. It follows the GTD workflow — capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage — and an AI agent does the clarifying and organizing for you, sorting your inbox into next actions and contexts and running your weekly review so nothing slips.

### Do I need to know GTD before I start?
No. GTD Brain nudges you into the right habits as you capture and clarify — the method builds itself into your week without homework.

### What does the AI agent actually do?
It drives your board in plain language — triage your inbox, filter to a context, create and move cards, run your weekly review. Every action is announced as a labelled step and is fully reversible.

### Can I try it before paying?
Yes — the annual plan starts with a free month. You add a card, nothing is charged until the month ends, and you can cancel anytime before then and pay nothing. The monthly plan is billed right away.

### Is it really on web, iOS and Android?
Yes. One account and one subscription cover all three, syncing in real time.

### How is my data handled?
Your tasks are yours. Encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold, exportable at any time. The agent only acts on your board when you ask it to.

### Who makes GTD Brain?
GTD Brain is an independent app made by Minosin AB, a Swedish company. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any other company or training organization.
