GTD Flow
MG4k downloadsStructured GTD: sequential/parallel projects, defer dates, next actions, forecast and review.
- Overview
- Scorecard
- Updates34
Empty your inbox, see what's next, review every week — in plain Markdown you already understand.
GTD Flow brings the whole Getting Things Done loop to Obsidian: capture, process, organise, do, review. Tasks stay ordinary - [ ] lines in your own notes, written in the Tasks plugin syntax, so both plugins share the same files and nothing is locked away.
Start in a minute
- Install from Settings → Community plugins → Browse → GTD Flow (desktop and mobile).
- The welcome screen offers a starter setup: an inbox with a few items and two example projects. Or use your own notes: right-click any note → Convert to GTD project.
- Run Process inbox: one item at a time, one key per decision.
- Work from Next actions. Open Review once a week.
What you get
| You want | GTD Flow |
|---|---|
| An inbox you actually empty | Process inbox: complete, move to a project, defer, wait for someone, park as someday, turn into a project, file as reference, drop or delete |
| To know what to do now | Next actions: only tasks you can start now, per project; sequential projects show one step at a time |
| To track what others owe you | Waiting for: #wait/anna, with how long and when to follow up |
| Dates that mean something | 🛫 defer, 📅 due, ⏰ time, ⏱ duration, 🔁 repeat, and 🆔/⛔ dependencies |
| The week ahead | Forecast and a Gantt Timeline |
| Contexts and custom lists | nested tags (#home/plumbing) and saved Perspectives |
| Nothing slipping | weekly Review, stalled-project detection, deadline warnings |
| A record of what got done | gtd-done blocks and an exportable report |
Plus editing right in the note (right-click menu, checkbox clicks that record ✅ and the next 🔁), archiving, capture from anywhere via obsidian://gtd-capture, and per-project colours.

Privacy
GTD Flow makes no network requests of its own and collects nothing; it only reads and edits notes in your vault. (A project banner you set to a web address loads like any image.)
