#74The concept is similar to an app I used years ago called Zonebox. I loved the idea but it was buggy and appeared to be abandoned by the developer.

Purchased and so far it looks pretty great.

Fantastic app, thank you for posting! Is there a way to get the current task name to show in full length in the menu bar, similar to what you have in the video? I see a truncated name instead (i.e. instead of "do task number bajillion 30:00" I see "do task num... 30:00").
The task name is truncated any time the app notices that the full name wouldn't fit in the space available in the menu bar. If new menu bar space becomes available I haven't yet found a way to get notified of that, so instead I try "expanding" it once every minute to see if it will fit. If after a minute of waiting you notice the task name still hasn't expanded please let me know as it's definitely a bug.
For those wondering how they can make more space available - https://www.macbartender.com/ is a good choice.

While I feel for you not feeling able to publish, is it really that sad that we like good icons? Isn’t one of the important things about the platform that we have high ui demands?
I'd argue that UI is different from prettiness of icon. The skill of drawing and the skill of understanding how to make an application easy to use are different.
We are affected by aesthetics. Humans like things that look good, use those objects more, find the objects easier to use, has a lower cognitive load on us, etc. Atleast that is the results of the cognitive studies I know of (like those 1990s studies from Hitatchi).

Looks like they got https://toggl.com
This isn’t the same service at all, BTW. I use and like Toggl but the app shown here serves a different purpose.
I like the idea, OP. I might give it a try when I’m on my Mac.

#7913.99 to show notifications from a list. Come on
You’d probably have an opportunity cost of more than that to recreate it, though.
I feel like if you really believed in this, having an egg timer might be better: existing solution, not bound to the computer, etc. The key addition is the label, I guess. I actually do use an egg timer when I need to

#80Looks nice and simple. I recently went looking for a ToDo list app and landed on TickTick. So far it has been really good. Specifically it is very focused on lists, not notes, has a global keyboard shortcut for adding new items, and just lots of nice little features to help make managing a bunch of lists easier.
