geoffrey is a calm, smart gtd app. it pays attention to what's moving, what's stalling, and what's worth doing now — and stays out of your way the rest of the time.
getting things done is a brilliant system. it's also a lot of work to maintain. captures, weekly reviews, prioritizing — every moving part of it works best when you're already on top of things. when life gets noisy, the system is the first thing to slip. and that's when you actually needed it.
most apps make this worse, not better. they pile on. they keep score. they quietly turn a clean inbox into a list of failures.
geoffrey pays attention to what you've taken on. when your plate is full, it pulls back — fewer suggestions, a smaller surface, less to argue with. when there's room, it opens up.
it's the opposite of every other productivity app, which seems to pile on hardest right when you're least able to push back.
tag a task low, medium, or highenergy when you capture it. on a low-energy moment, filter to just what you could realistically do right now. nothing is deleted; it's simply not in your face.
the difference between “you have 47 things to do” and “here are three you could actually start.” one of these gets done. the other gets avoided.
open the app and you're already in the field. no project, no priority, no due date asked. you don't even need a clear thought; a fragment is fine.
clarify later, when you have the room to think. the inbox is the inbox. it doesn't shame you for the contents.
when something's been sitting in your list for a while, geoffrey can help you find a smaller way back in. no pressure, no nagging — just an offer to break a big thing into something you could actually start.
if you say not now, it goes away. if you say yes, you get a few small, concrete next actions. no fabricated deadlines.
geoffrey leaves out a lot of patterns the rest of the category treats as table stakes. some are obvious. others, we'll defend.
geoffrey opens up to a small group this fall. leave your email and we'll send onenote when it's ready. no marketing in between.
