# GSD Task Manager

> GSD is a free, open-source task manager built on the Eisenhower Matrix
> (urgent vs. important, four quadrants: Do First, Schedule, Delegate,
> Eliminate). Privacy-first: tasks live on the user's device (IndexedDB on
> the web, an on-device database in the iPhone, iPad, and Mac app) with no
> account, no tracking, and no sign-up. Optional OAuth sync (Google/GitHub,
> plus Apple in the native app) keeps devices current through a self-hostable
> PocketBase backend.

- Native app: universal iPhone, iPad, and Mac app (SwiftUI), on the App Store and Mac App Store
- Open source: the web app and MCP server are MIT-licensed.

## Product

- [Web app](https://gsd.vinny.dev/): open and use immediately, no sign-up
- [Privacy policy](https://gsd.vinny.dev/privacy/): the local-first data model, plainly stated

## AI integration (MCP)

GSD ships a Model Context Protocol server so AI assistants (Claude Desktop
and other MCP clients) can read and update a user's tasks: list, search,
create, complete, bulk-update, plus analytics like productivity metrics and
upcoming deadlines. Twenty tools; every write supports a dry-run mode.
Requires the user to have sync enabled. Setup: `npx gsd-mcp-server --setup`.
