Todobar is a native dockable todo sidebar for macOS and Windows. Instead of opening a full window, it lives at the edge of your screen as a small handle. You click the handle — or press Alt+T from any app — and a clean task panel slides in. Press Esc or Alt+T again and it retreats, leaving you uninterrupted. Everything is stored locally on your device: no accounts, no sync, no analytics.Documentation Index

Why Todobar is different
Most todo apps are full windows that compete for screen space. Todobar is designed as a desktop utility — something you keep open alongside the apps you actually work in. It is fast enough for one-line capture, clean enough to leave visible during focused work, and unobtrusive enough that you can ignore it entirely until you need it.Dockable sidebar
The panel docks to any screen edge — right, left, or top. A draggable handle opens and closes it without moving focus away from your current app.
Global shortcut
Press Alt+T from anywhere on your desktop to toggle the sidebar. Use Alt+Shift+T as a fallback if another app already owns Alt+T.
Today, Calendar, and Lists
A compact command rail gives you access to today’s tasks, a full calendar view with per-day capture, and custom task lists — all without a full dashboard.
Reminders
Set reminder times while capturing tasks. Reminders appear as in-app toasts inside the overlay so they don’t clutter your OS notification tray.
10 theme presets
Choose from five light presets (Studio, Frostline, Paper Trail, Terra, Blueprint) and five dark presets (Obsidian, Graphite, Nightfall, Ember, Gridlock) to match your desktop.
Local-first
Task data and settings are stored in local browser storage inside the app webview. Nothing leaves your machine in this release.
Current version
