Capture it
Add tasks, ideas and notes in seconds
A better way to get things done
Stay organized, reduce stress and focus on what really matters. NextApp is a private personal organizer for your work and your life.
No ads · No telemetry · No tracking
Everything you have to do. One place to trust.
Organize it
Separate work, customers, projects, personal life and whatever else matters to you.
What matters now?
Use priorities, dates, lists and NextApp's suggestion tool to decide what to do next.
Stay focused
NextApp can track what you work on now. If you are distracted, one look is all you need to continue.
Work anywhere
NextApp synchronizes data between your devices. Use your PC in the office, a laptop off-site and your phone on the road.
Relax when you're done
Know what remains without mentally rehearsing your to-do list all evening.
Privacy matters
Your task manager can contain an extraordinary amount of personal information: customers, deadlines, financial plans, health appointments, relationships, travel, unfinished ideas and everything you're worried about.
Many apps and platforms have no concept for privacy or confidentiality. NextApp is different.
Your data is yours
NextApp has no telemetry and no profiling. No data is shared or sold. You can use our cloud service or run your own server for replication between your devices.
No dependency on Big Tech
The app is self-sufficient and does not use services from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta or any of the AI companies by itself.
Open Source
You don't have to take our word for what the software does. NextApp is Open Source, released under the GNU GPL3 license.
You're not equally productive every day. Neither are we.
Some days you can tackle the hardest problem on your list. Other days, getting three small things done is an achievement. NextApp helps you keep track of what matters without expecting every day to be your most productive day ever.
Ask for suggestions based on your current state
When you have exceptionally good days, you can ask NextApp for the demanding actions, sorted by priority. Ask for the easy actions on bad days.
Green Days
NextApp allows you to score your days. This allows you to reward yourself with a Green Day on your scoreboard when you did well. It's both a record of your own performance and a motivation to keep going on difficult days.
Track what you work on
NextApp lets you start, pause and finish actions. This gives you an easy overview on how you spent your time with daily and weekly summaries. It also reminds you about what you are working on during the day.
Made for independent people
This is not an app made for the group-think guild.
The goal has never been to make a mainstream to-do list. There are plenty of those. NextApp is different. It's not a web-page, like almost all "modern" apps. It's carefully designed to handle the needs and expectations of people who actually give a f*ck about their lives and work.
We haven't thought about everything. But we deeply care about NextApp, and we are eager to listen to you - add features you need and remove friction you experience. Just talk to us. You will always get in touch with a real person.
Freelancers
Keep your calm and spend your time wisely based on your resources and actual priorities. Plan ahead and adjust as needed.
Developers
Enjoy a fast, native desktop app, Linux support, open source and self-hosting your own backend. Add your own features if and when you need them. PRs are very welcome.
Micro businesses
Organize customers, projects and commitments without deploying an enterprise collaboration platform.
People with ADHD
Living with ADHD is hard. It's not always enough just to know what you should do. NextApp can't fix that - but it will remember everything you did not do. That gives you some relief when you have energy and motivation, and a simple way to get an overview over what's most important.
Privacy advocates
This app is basically made for you! Developed by a company in the EU, run by someone who has been advocating for privacy since the early 1980s.
Everyone else
Shopping lists and major life projects can live in the same system. NextApp doesn't assume your life ends when you leave work. It's also a natural place to put your repeatable actions and promises so you calmly keep all your obligations to everyone.
What you need to know
AI
CEOs love it. Most people don't. NextApp has experimental MCP support, and several new AI features are coming.
But AI is and will always be Opt In. All the planned AI features are designed to work with privacy friendly local or private models.
Built on ideas that have worked for decades
NextApp takes inspiration from Getting Things Done: capture what's on your mind, clarify it, organize it, review it, and act on what makes sense now.
Is it Vibe Coded?
No. This is not a "vibe-coded" app. The project began in August 2023. The main developer, Jarle Aase, has 40 years of experience as a software developer. Most of the code was written by hand.
