PopTask is a lightweight macOS menu bar task manager for quickly capturing tasks. Just type naturally even if the input is messy, shorthand, or full of slang and PopTask understands it and schedules it automatically. It supports 7 languages, shows smart countdown alerts, and includes AI powered scheduling and task breakdown. Everything runs on device on macOS 26 and later, with cloud support for earlier macOS versions.
This is the 2nd launch from PopTask. View more
PopTask v2.0
Launched this week
Imagine a thought hits you mid-work. You press one shortcut, type "mtng wth boss in 2hr" or just say it out loud. Three seconds later you're back to what you were doing.
The task is scheduled. The reminder is set. And you never switched apps.
No forms. No dropdowns. No date pickers. Just your words, typed or spoken.
Syncs Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Reminders. No cloud. No account. No tracking. The last to-do app you'll ever download.

@lilhadi Nice bro. Congratulations. Which model do you use??
PopTask
thanks @k_hasini 🙌🏽
on-device apple foundation models on macOS 26+, falls back to cloud ai for older macs and edge cases the on-device pipeline can't confidently handle
what made you draw the line at "4 active tasks forever" for free vs going with a usage cap or time-limited trial. most solo makers i know agonize over that number and it's the one decision that quietly sets the tone for the whole business
PopTask
heyy @liviu_chita, wrestled with this for a while
usage cap over trial because time-to-aha is 20 seconds on my app .. one messy task input and you get it .. and i believe trials punish slow adopters
4 because anything less felt hostile, anything more stopped funneling. and yeah "4 forever" sets the tone i want .. fair, not predatory
@lilhadi makes sense. "trials punish slow adopters" is a good way to put it - people who'd benefit most are often the ones who need the longest ramp. and yeah "fair, not predatory" is the part most freemium models miss. hope the launch is going well!
PopTask
appreciate that @liviu_chita yeah exactly, the people who need it most are usually the ones exploring slowly, didn't want to rush anyone into a paywall .. launch is going great 🙌🏽 thanks for the kind words!
Hello I liked this at first sight. I couldn't find a Windows option on the site. Is it Mac only for now? Also, when I click "Try for free" it takes me to a page that says "something's a little off." Might want to check those before more launch traffic hits?
PopTask
heyy @naveengeorge, thanks for flagging both, appreciate that
and yeaa mac only for now, built deep on native apple stuff so windows would be a full rewrite .. on the list but no timeline yet
and the broken "try for free" link .. on it, fixing now. appreciate the heads up before more traffic hits
@lilhadi Best of luck for launch!
Doesn't work. Downloaded, installed. Click on open, nothing.
PopTask
heyy @sam_chong2, sorry about that, PopTask lives in your menu bar (top right of your screen), not in the dock .. look for the little icon up there (maybe your menu bar is bit cluttered)
if it's still not showing up, mind dropping me a line at haider@poptask.bar with your macOS version? i'll sort it right away
