Introduction
GleanLog is a personal GTD and notes system — capture in seconds, triage an inbox, plan on boards, keep Markdown notes, and hand it all to your agents.
GleanLog (拾记) is a personal system for the work only you can keep track of: the idea you had in the shower, the email you owe someone, the next step on a project, and the notes that explain why any of it matters.
It is built around three habits:
- Capture in seconds. One sheet, one field, no decisions yet.
- Triage an inbox. Review what you captured and give each item a GTD tag.
- Plan and work. Boards show the structure; notes hold the thinking.
Why another task app?
Most task apps ask you to organize before you can capture. GleanLog splits the two: every capture lands in an inbox first, and the GTD tag decides how it shows up in your workflow. The space, folder and list decide where it lives — the tag decides what it means.
The tag is the workflow. @gtd-inbox, @gtd-next, @gtd-waiting,
@gtd-someday, and archived/deleted items are the only statuses that matter
to your review.
