Features

Small app.
Big relief.

Everything you need to get tasks out of your head, and nothing that slows you down. Each tile below is the real thing, in miniature.

Open it from anywhere

One global shortcut, in any app. The cursor is already waiting in the add field. Change it to any combination you like.

⌥⌘T

A day with TaskCanyon

From first thought
to all done.

Scroll through a day. The list on the right changes with it.

9:00 AM

Catch it before it's gone.

Mid-email, you remember the flights. ⌥⌘T, “Book flights friday #personal”, Return. Back to your email in two seconds.

11:30 AM

A nudge, right on time.

The bank call comes up as a Mac notification. Mark it done from the notification, without opening anything.

3:00 PM

Nothing slips quietly.

The invoice was due at 2. It turns red, the header counts it, and a dot appears on the menu bar icon until you deal with it.

6:00 PM

All done. Log off.

Everything ticked. Completed tasks tuck away, and your head is as clear as your list.

Questions

Ask anything.

Search like Spotlight. Press ⌘K to jump in.

Where does TaskCanyon live after I open it?

In your menu bar at the top right of the screen: the ✓ icon. Its Dock icon goes away after launch. Click the icon, or press ⌥⌘T from any app. The first time, the list opens on its own.

Is it really a one-time purchase?

Yes. TaskCanyon is free, and Pro is a single $4.99 in-app purchase with no subscription. Restore it on your other Macs with the same Apple Account.

Does it sync with my iPhone?

Not yet. Sync works across Macs signed in to the same iCloud account. An iPhone companion may come if enough people ask.

Can I change the shortcut?

Yes: Preferences → General → Shortcut. Click it and press a new combination; ↺ brings back ⌥⌘T.

What do you do with my data?

Nothing, because we never receive it. There are no accounts, analytics or third-party services, and iCloud sync uses your private database, which we can't access.
