Today.app (or how I get stuff done)

I’ve been using Things by Cultured Code for a long time now to remember things I want (or need) to get done. It’s fantastic.

Two problems, though –

1. I get distracted easily
2. I’m often working on a few things at a time

So, I made a thing to fix that (no pun intended).

Meet Today.app, the menu bar Mac app that complements Things:

It parses your Today list in Things every 5 minutes, and updates to show a task that is not yet complete in the MenuBar. Click it to see all of your Today tasks, and click a specific one for that one to become your “focus task”.

It’s simple, and I made it several years ago(first commit was in July of 2013), but I thought I’d share.

It’s always been open source.

High five.
