I Built a GTD Telegram Bot in Under an Hour with Claude Code

Every GTD app I’ve tried commits one of two sins. Either it’s a Byzantine fortress of features — Kanban boards, team collaboration, productivity gamification, the full catastrophe (looking at you, OmniFocus) — or it’s simple but demands you learn its particular syntax for categorising things, which rather defeats the purpose of a system meant to get tasks out of your head quickly.

What I actually wanted was to type “buy milk tomorrow” into my phone and have it land in the right place. No app switching. No form fields. No learning a miniature programming language just to add a grocery item.
