I made this app to scratch my own itch. I generally use the Reminders app, but every time I open it, I get discouraged by the immense size of the todo list. One Task is designed for action, not endless categorization. It omits features like folders, tags, and priorities to eliminate distractions and decision fatigue. The app’s core functionality is to help you commit to and complete tasks...

Hey PH. I made this app to scratch my own itch. I often discover cool stuff when I check Twitter on the go and I want to dig deeper into it later on my Mac. I have tried Instapaper, Pocket, Safari Reading List, iCloud Tabs, and more. The problem with them all is that I forget to check them. This app opens the link front and center on your Mac so you cannot miss it.
How is it better than...

Hey PH. I love making menu bar apps. I currently maintain a popular paid calendar app called Dato. As a weekend project, I wanted to try to make the simplest menu bar calendar app possible. This is the result. I hope some of you find it useful.

Hey PH! Last year, I was thrilled when Apple introduced Lock Screen widgets in iOS 16. As a result, I created three apps specifically for it. This is one of them. The other ones are Favorites Widget and Quick Launch.
One cool use-case is that the app supports Shortcuts, so you can automate the shown text using automations. For example, you can have the text change automatically at certain...

Hey PH. I made this app for my mom. She's not very technical and this makes it easier for her to call my dad. The Home Screen widgets are great for older people as they are very easy to tap.
I'm happy to receive feedback, either here, or through the feedback button in the app.
Interesting fact: The app icon was created with DALL-E.

The intention is to put an important task or goal in the menu bar, where it's always visible. However, you can of course put anything there. The app is scriptable. For example, some users have used it to show...
