Orbit is a free task manager built into a CRM. You get a full GTD system, Inbox, Today, Next, Waiting, and Someday, plus projects and a calendar, with no limit on tasks and no credit card. Every task can link to a contact or deal, so your to-do list knows who it is for.
Tasks, projects, and GTD lists are free on Orbit, on every plan, with no cap on how many you create. Capture anything in two keystrokes with quick-add, sort it into Inbox, Today, Next, Waiting, or Someday, and drag it onto your calendar when it needs a time.
The difference from a standalone to-do app is that each task can attach to a person or a deal. So "call Dana back" sits on Dana's timeline, not in a separate silo. If you outgrow a plain checklist, Orbit is also a free CRM and a free to-do list app in one.

Most dropped balls are not forgotten tasks, they are forgotten follow-ups with a specific person. Orbit keeps the two together, so the reminder to reconnect shows up next to the last thing you talked about.
Two-way Google Calendar sync and the Chrome extension come with any paid plan, and the meeting recorder is part of Pro at $14/mo, but the task system itself stays free for as long as you use it.
A to-do app forgets who the task was for. Orbit does not.
Yes. Tasks, projects, and the GTD lists (Inbox, Today, Next, Waiting, Someday) are free on every Orbit plan, with no limit on how many you create and no credit card. The free plan also includes up to 250 contacts, one pipeline, a calendar, and notes.
GTD (Getting Things Done) is a method: capture everything, then sort it into lists like Next and Waiting. Orbit has these lists built in, plus quick capture with the c key and a weekly-review view, so you can run GTD without setting it up yourself.
Yes. Any task can attach to a contact or a deal, so it appears on that person's timeline. This is the main difference from a standalone to-do app: your task list knows who each item is for.
The task system is free. Any paid plan adds two-way Google Calendar sync, the Chrome extension, unlimited contacts and pipelines, and more; the meeting recorder is on Pro ($14/mo). AI is included on every plan with free monthly credits.
People running a business mostly alone: founders, consultants, freelancers, and small teams whose to-do list is tangled up with clients and deals. If your tasks are really follow-ups with specific people, Orbit keeps them together.
