Visit Nirvana

Nirvana is a to-do list application built around the Getting Things Done method, aimed at capturing tasks, organizing them into actionable lists and reducing overwhelm. It provides Inbox, Next, Waiting, Scheduled and Someday lists, along with projects, areas of focus, notes, checklists and tags for adding context.

Features include scheduled to-dos, due dates, flexible tagging with contacts and areas, full-text search, advanced filters by tags, energy and time required, capture via email by forwarding messages to your account, and a focus list that can be emailed to you on chosen days. Data stays in sync across devices. The app runs on the web, iOS, Android, Mac and Windows.

Nirvana is offered in a free plan covering the core lists, basic projects and areas, notes, checklists, tags and contexts, sync, and email capture. A paid Pro edition adds unlimited projects and areas, recurring to-dos and priority support, with a free trial available; it can be billed monthly or yearly.
