PopTask is a native macOS menu bar app built in SwiftUI. v2 ships on macOS 26+ with on-device Foundation Models for parsing, plus MenuBarExtra, EventKit for calendar/reminders sync, and the tight system hooks the app lives on .. Xcode is the only real path for any of it. no cross-platform framework gets you this deep into macOS

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.

every screen in v2.0 started in Figma before a single line of SwiftUI .. the new smart suggestion card, the delete modal, the calendar sync flows .. all sketched at the exact 400px panel width the app uses. being browser based also means i can bounce between my mac and any other machine without losing the file
