QuickTick

Your to-dos,
one keystroke away.

QuickTick lives in the background, and pops with a shortcut from any app or screen.

Features

Capture a thought before it's gone.

Always one shortcut away.

No Dock icon, no window to manage. Press Space from any app and the panel opens on whatever screen you're using. Press it again to dismiss.

Type dates like you speak.

Type "call mom tomorrow at 5pm" or "taxes next Friday" and QuickTick picks out the date as you go, showing it inline before you hit Enter. No date pickers.

Sync if you want it.

Turn on sync and every task becomes a real Apple reminder, carried over iCloud to your iPhone, iPad, and Siri. Leave it off and nothing leaves your Mac.

Built around your lists.

Switch lists from the header, search with a keystroke, and hide finished tasks when you want them out of the way. With sync on, your lists match Apple Reminders.

Pick your colors.

Nine built-in themes, including Dracula, Catppuccin Mocha, Nord, and Tokyo Night, plus a JSON format for building your own. See them →
