TaskNxt menu bar popover showing Now, Nxt, and Ltr lanes

Built to disappear until you need it

No dock icon, no windows to manage — just a popover, three lanes, and a hotkey.

⚡

Instant triage

A configurable global hotkey (default ⌃Q) summons TaskNxt from any app. Add, drag, or check off a task, and it's gone.

🗂️

Three fixed lanes

Now / Nxt / Ltr — always in the same order, so priority triage becomes muscle memory instead of a decision.

🔄

Google Tasks, optionally

Connect your Google account and every task list becomes its own tab, synced both ways, with no cap on how many. New tasks land in an Inbox lane for you to triage. Skip it and nothing leaves your Mac.

✅

Drag, drop, done

Reorder within or across lanes, double-click to rename in place, right-click to archive or delete.

🗄️

Auto-cleanup & archive

Completed tasks show a countdown and purge automatically — or keep a browsable, restorable archive instead.

🌗

Light & dark mode

Follows your system appearance live, with a standalone Settings window for General, Shortcuts, Tabs, and About.

🔒 Local-first

Your data lives on your Mac

🔄 Optional Google Tasks

Connect only if you want sync

📡 No tracking

No analytics, no telemetry
