What's inside

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

TodoBar packs the things that make a tiny todo list feel like a power tool - without ever feeling crowded.

  • Plain-English dates

    Type "tomorrow at 9am", "in 30 minutes", "next Friday". TodoBar reads what you wrote and figures out the rest.

  • Global hotkey

    Press ⌃⌥⌘T from any app to capture a task instantly. Never lose a thought to a context switch.

  • Lives in your menu bar

    Your list is one click away - no app to launch, no window to find.

  • iCloud sync

    Your tasks stay in sync across every Mac signed in to your Apple ID. No accounts, no servers, just iCloud.

  • Smart reminders

    Local notifications when tasks are due. Nothing leaves your Mac.

  • Stats and awards

    Track your streak, fastest completion, and unlock Tad-themed achievements as you go.

A guided tour

See it in action.

Five screens that show why TodoBar feels different from every other to-do app.

Your day, in your menu bar.

The popover opens from the menu bar with one click. Active tasks at the top, completed ones tucked away. Reminders show their due time at a glance.

Capture from anywhere.

The Quick Add panel comes up from any app via global hotkey. Type your task, press Return, you're done.

Type how you talk.

TodoBar parses natural English: "in 30 minutes", "tomorrow at 9am", "next Tuesday", "tonight at 8". It just works - no menus, no calendar pickers.

Yours to tune.

Custom hotkey, iCloud sync toggle, export to Markdown or JSON, launch at login, optional stats - all the controls a power user expects.
