How Gerard runs a GTD inbox with Pidgy.

Gerard has run GTD for years. The system works; capture from email never did. This is how Pidgy closes the loop for him.

Where Gerard loses most time.

4h

Manual capture

Every week. GTD says capture everything; most of everything arrives by email, where capture meant forwarding mails to himself.

A real inbox habit"…forwarding emails to myself with FW: TODO in the subject line. For years."
21

Open loops found on day one

Commitments buried in reply-chains that never made it into the trusted system.

Buried in a thread"…oh and could you send the meter readings before Friday?"
2h

Weekly review archaeology

The review started with an hour of digging through the week's mail to find what he'd agreed to.

Capture · Organize · Reflect · Engage

Pidgy, mapped to GTD.

01 · capture

Capture that finally captures.

GTD lives or dies on capture, and most of Gerard's inputs arrive by email. Pidgy clarifies each one as it lands: actionable becomes a next action with a deadline, a promise from the other side is filed as a waiting-for, the rest stays reference. No more FW: TODO.

Re: Kitchen renovation

Hi Gerard, thanks for the walkthrough. We can get you the revised quote by May 2nd.

Projects & next actions, organized.

Every open loop lives in a project with a visible next action, exactly as the framework prescribes. One glance answers the only question that matters: what's the next physical action, and is anything stalled?

03 · the waiting-for superpower

A waiting-for list that chases itself.

The list GTD always promised but email never delivered. Pidgy keeps it live, shows how long each loop has been open, and holds a nudge drafted in Gerard's voice for each one. Tone picked, word tweaked, sent in 40 seconds.

04 · delegate the loop

Close loops without owning them.

Anyone who owes Gerard something gets one secure link, no login, no account. Their list, their uploads, their deadline. The loop closes from the other side while Gerard's mind stays like water.

Frequently asked questions.

How does Pidgy connect to my email?+
Pidgy connects to Gmail and Outlook with read access. It captures next actions, waiting-fors, and deadlines into one overview. Nothing is sent without your say.
Is my data safe?+
Data stays in the EU, processing is GDPR-compliant, and Pidgy is built in Ghent, Belgium.
Does it replace my GTD system?+
No, it feeds it. Pidgy does capture and clarify at the point of arrival and keeps the waiting-for list live; your lists, contexts, and reviews stay wherever you trust them.
Do other people need an account?+
No. Anyone who owes you something gets a secure magic link that opens their own list: what's needed, by when, upload in place. No login, nothing to explain.
What does it cost?+
Simple monthly pricing per mailbox, announced at launch. We onboard from the waitlist in order, so early joiners fly first.
