Done Bear is a GTD app for Mac, iPhone, the web, Windows and Linux, all synced from one local-first engine. It ships GTD as five views: Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime and Someday. Free up to 250 tasks, then from $7 per month per member billed yearly. There is no Android app yet.

Platforms

Native desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, a full web app, and an iPhone app on the App Store. There is no Android app or Play Store listing; the Android waitlist is at /android.

GTD views

Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime and Someday, plus a Logbook, are the app's navigation.

Todoist, Things 3, and Done Bear

Keep Todoist or Things if one of these is why you use it.

  • Things 3 is Apple-only, single-player, and sold separately for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro. Done Bear has the same views on Windows and the web, as a subscription after the free 250-task tier.
  • Todoist is cloud-first with filters you assemble, and wins on Android, assignees and integrations. Done Bear ships the five views as its navigation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best GTD app in 2026?

Things 3 if you work alone on Apple hardware, Todoist if you need Android, assignees or a large integration catalog. Done Bear if you want Things-style GTD on Windows and the web, local-first, with a hosted MCP server.

Does Done Bear have an MCP server?

Yes, at https://mcp.donebear.com/mcp, where assistants can capture and triage with scoped permission. Todoist has one too; Done Bear also has a CLI and a GraphQL API on the same workspace.

Is Done Bear local-first?

Yes. Every view opens from a copy on the device, so adding, completing, reordering and searching work offline, and changes sync when you reconnect.
