Pure Inbox - an App Made for GTD System

Introduction

Pure Inbox is a stand-alone Inbox app for GTD system, available on App Store for free.

The goal of the app is to overcome the downside of using the inbox in a To-Do app as GTD Inbox, and also provide some unique functions that would benefit a GTD system.

Features

• Background color serves as a non-invasive, subtle indicator for if you are supposed to clear your Inbox right now

Roadmap

The following list contains features I plan to add to the app.

I find it challenging to determine what should be on this list, and which of it should I implement first. This is why I need your feedback.
