This week it is TodoBar, a menu bar to-do tracker for macOS.</p> <p>The app lives entirely in a popover in your menu bar. No Dock icon. No window to close. You click the icon, your list appears, you click away and it disappears.</p> <h2 id="what-is-in-the-app">What is in the app</h2> <p>The thing that separates TodoBar from a sticky note is the global hotkey. Press Control-Option-Command-T from any app and a small capture panel floats up in the center of your screen. You type a task in plain English. The app reads the date from your sentence: &ldquo;Email Sam tomorrow at 9am&rdquo; creates a task due tomorrow at 9am, &ldquo;Renew passport by Friday&rdquo; sets a Friday deadline. Press Return and the panel disappears. You never left whatever you were working on.</p>
