Daily Review
Daily Review is the lightweight reset flow for staying current between Weekly Reviews. It appears in the Review view on desktop and as the daily review route on mobile.
The point is not tidiness. A few minutes here closes the gap between what your lists say and what is actually true right now, so you can trust the lists through the rest of the day instead of holding the open loops in your head.
Flow
The default order is:
- Today and Calendar
- Inbox, only when live inbox tasks exist
- Waiting For
- Today's Focus, when enabled
- Complete
The inbox and Waiting For steps are intentionally before focus: new captures are clarified first, and items you were waiting on can be switched to Next when they unblock, so they are available as candidates when you choose today's focus. Empty steps are skipped.
Settings
The focus step is controlled by:
settings.gtd.dailyReview.includeFocusStepDesktop and mobile expose this as the "Include Focus step" setting in GTD settings. The step is shown by default. Set the value to false to use the shorter Today/Inbox/Waiting flow.

settings.gtd.defaultScheduleTime | Prefills manual scheduling fields. |

settings.calendar.viewMode | Stores the calendar view mode used elsewhere in the app. |
Desktop Behavior
Desktop persists the current review step in local storage while the modal is in progress. Closing and reopening the modal resumes the same step; finishing the review clears the stored step.
Task rows inside the review use the normal quick actions and task detail affordances, including area and project actions where available.
Mobile Behavior
Mobile uses the same GTD setting for the focus step and presents the review as a route-level screen. It shares the same step intent with the desktop flow, with mobile-specific navigation controls.
