See it in your menu bar

Click the checklist icon — or hit your hotkey — and the popover appears.

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.

📑

Up to 4 tabs

Separate Work, Personal, or any workspace you like. The menu bar badge shows the active tab's incomplete-task count.

✅

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.
