Todobar is a native dockable sidebar for macOS and Windows. It lives at the edge of your screen as a small handle, opens into a clean task panel in under a second, and closes again without stealing focus. Everything is stored locally — no accounts, no sync, no analytics.

Installation

Download the latest release for Windows or macOS and get Todobar running in minutes.

Quickstart

Learn the essential gestures and shortcuts to capture and manage tasks from day one.

Features

Explore Today tasks, Calendar scheduling, custom lists, reminders, and more.

Customization

Adjust themes, panel width, dock placement, motion speed, and dozens of other settings.

What Todobar does

Todobar is designed as a desktop utility, not a full window app. It solves a specific problem: most todo apps compete for your screen. Todobar stays out of the way until you need it.

Always reachable

A small handle docks to your chosen screen edge. Click or press Alt+T from any app to open it instantly.

Fast capture

Type a task and press Enter. No dialogs, no mandatory fields, no friction.

Local-first

Tasks and settings live entirely on your device. No account required, no data leaves your machine.

Get started

1

Download Todobar

Go to the installation page and download the installer for your platform — Windows .exe/.msi or macOS .dmg.
2

Open the sidebar

After installing, click the edge handle or press Alt+T to open Todobar for the first time.
3

Add your first task

Type a task in the Today input and press Enter. Your task is saved instantly.
4

Customise your setup

Open Settings from the command rail to choose your dock edge, theme, and panel width.

Current release

Todobar is at v0.1.5. The foundation is solid: native dockable window, global shortcut, local persistence, reminders, calendar, custom lists, and release automation for Windows and macOS.
macOS builds from public CI are currently unsigned. You may need to right-click the .dmg and choose Open on first launch. Code signing and notarization are planned for a future release.
