Tasky 2.8 “Robin”

Apple Reminders in your menu bar.

Features

• Browse and search reminders by date or list
• Quickly create reminders with natural-language support
• Complete, edit, move, tag, delete, and prioritize tasks
• Keyboard navigation and undo support
• Category chips with overflow count and incremental row expansion

Input Modes

Tasky's input field supports two modes:

• Create — shown with a plus icon
• Search — shown with a magnifying-glass icon

Switch modes by clicking the icon. You can also enter Search mode by typing ? or a blank space as the first character. The trigger character is removed automatically and is not included in the search.

Use ⌘1 for Create mode and ⌘2 for Search mode.

Pressing Escape clears a non-empty Create or Search entry. If the entry is already empty, Escape closes the popover.
