A native macOS task manager backed by plain Markdown files. Navigate with arrow keys, check off with Space. The file is yours forever.
- Plain-text tasks — one task per line, stored as
.md,.txt, or.todofiles - Sections — organize tasks with headers
- Checkbox toggle — click or press Space to complete tasks
- Drag & drop reorder — move tasks with the mouse or keyboard
- Auto-save — saves as you type
- Multiple windows — each window has independent state
- Font size control — Cmd+/Cmd- to adjust, Cmd+0 to reset
- Light & dark mode — follows system appearance
- Status bar — task count and completion stats
- On-device AI — Cmd+K to ask questions about your tasks (CoreML, fully offline)
- Open from Finder — double-click task files to open in TinyTask
- macOS 26.0+
- Xcode 26+ (to build)
