The five steps
The whole GTD method, faithfully
Trayzero walks David Allen's five steps end to end — not a loose to-do list with GTD sprinkled on top.
- 01
Capture
One-tap capture from anywhere — a floating button, voice-to-text, the share sheet, or a home-screen widget. Get it out of your head fast.
- 02
Clarify
A card-stack Process Inbox flow walks the full GTD decision tree — actionable? two-minute rule? delegate, defer, or drop — until your inbox hits zero.
- 03
Organize
Canonical lists: Next Actions, Projects, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, Calendar, Reference. Projects are first-class with @-contexts and Areas of Responsibility.
- 04
Reflect
A 7-step Weekly Review wizard guides a scripted pass through every bucket, so nothing quietly rots at the bottom of a list.
- 05
Engage
See the right next action for right now — filtered by context, energy level, and the time you actually have.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Trayzero really free?+
Yes. No ads, no account, no subscription. A one-time Pro unlock for power features is planned later, but the full GTD workflow is free.
Where is my data stored?+
On your device, in a local SQLite database. There is no Trayzero server and no cloud sync. You can export and import a plain-JSON backup any time.
Which platforms are supported?+
Android is live on Google Play. iOS is in TestFlight and launching on the App Store soon.
Do I need to know GTD to use it?+
No. The Process Inbox flow and Weekly Review wizard guide you through the method step by step — it's a good way to learn GTD by doing it.
Is this affiliated with the David Allen Company?+
No. Trayzero is an independent app inspired by the GTD methodology. "Getting Things Done" and "GTD" are trademarks of the David Allen Company.
