PopTask is a native macOS menu bar app built with SwiftUI. Xcode is the only real option for building MenuBarExtra apps that integrate properly with macOS notifications, system appearance, and the menu bar. No cross platform framework can do what MenuBarExtra does natively.

PopTask uses GPT-4o-mini through a Cloudflare Worker for the AI parsing pipeline. I tested Claude, DeepSeek, and others but GPT-4o-mini gave the best balance of speed, accuracy, and cost for parsing messy multilingual task input into structured dates and clean titles. Response times stay under 500ms which matters when you're showing live previews as the user types.

FigmaThe collaborative interface design tool

I design everything in Figma before writing a single line of SwiftUI. The component system and auto layout made it easy to prototype the menu bar popover, time picker, and onboarding flow at the exact 400px width the app uses. Being browser based also meant I could jump between my Mac and any other machine without losing context.
