Margin Day Planner - Your whole day, docked to the edge of your screen

Margin is a macOS menu-bar planner. Press a key, type what you mean in plain words, and it lands in Apple Reminders or Calendar. Your day sits docked at the screen edge: drag a task to any minute, pull a thread for a pomodoro, and focus on one thing.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 Margin is a planner that lives in the macOS menu bar. Press ⌥Space, type a line like "team sync tomorrow 3pm to 4pm" or "call the clinic at half past four", and it's saved as a real reminder or calendar event in Apple's own apps — so it's on your iPhone too. The parsing happens on your Mac; there's no account and no server. The other half is the day itself, docked to the edge of the screen: every hour as a card, a line on the current minute, and your free time visible. Drag a task to any quarter hour, or hold Control while dragging for a magnifier and five-minute steps. New in 2.0, out today: • Pull the thread. Drag down from the capture bar and a timer comes out on the end of it. Hold ⌘ while pulling and it's a four-session pomodoro, breaks included. • Sessions hold tasks. Drop a task into a session — or into several — and drag it back out when you change your mind. • Focus. One ring for the run, the task in the middle, with Done, +5 minutes and Stop. • Inbox. Anything captured without a day waits there until you give it a time. • Search. Find any reminder or event by name and jump to the day it sits on. • Plus a warning 5–30 minutes before a meeting, a proper month picker, and other people's calendars shown as coloured stripes beside your day. macOS Ventura and later. Free for 7 days, no card, and it's on the Mac App Store as well. Happy to answer anything, and I'd like to hear what doesn't work for you — several things in 2.0 came from emails people sent after buying 1.x.
