Should have named the app goldfish.
Damn, that's a great name too...

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ray Wenderlich has a nice basic tutorial around creating a simple menu bar application. I just used it for my own application and it seems well up-to-date. I thought it was this one: https://www.raywenderlich.com/450-menus-and-popovers-in-menu... A global hotkey is not something I have experience with but it seems that there's a library called Hotkey: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47760135/global-keyboard...
That's pretty much the same place where I started as well (the RW tutorial). For the library: HotKey is exactly what I used. Simple to set up, works with the Xcode Package manager and does exactly what it says.
Cool, thank you both for the information!

#13This is definitely something I need, thanks. One small feature request: Would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to show the list too.
Great idea. What exactly would you do with that? Simply open up the list and look at the past entries?

#14TickTick has a nice "quick capture" experience too. Will try this.

This has a super reasonable price of 2.5 EUR in Brazil. I forget the term now but its of course a discount due to lower purchasing power.
How does Apple calculate that?

#15This is really nice good job. I have one suggestion. It would be nice if this app can fetch data from reminders app of MacOS and put them in the menu bar along with the ones added.
I like that idea, but I also want to keep the user experience really simple. Would you want to display a single list from Reminders? Or show all reminders alongside?
And the other way around: would you add to Reminders from MonkeyMind?

Yes to adding to reminders from MM.
Reminders syncs to mobile — that can be convenient!

#17Looks nice and slick will give it a try. Thanks for sharing Benedict :)

#18Cool. Downloaded and using it. Nit-pick but can you please have right-click to access the setting menu?
There used to be a dead-simple MacOS App called Anxiety that does something similar to this but it somehow died.
I don't use TO-DO Apps to do my tasks, I calendar pretty much everything but I want a very simple task-lister for things such as "Call Ram", "Remind Kid to learn to Type", etc.
This serves the purpose.
I tried Tot[1], another interesting simple tool to do a similar function but MonkeyMind is simpler for me to for these small tasks.
Feature Request: Can we make this have a Powerpack option for Alfred. So, I can keep this running in the background but use Alfred to add tasks. This is the same request I asked the Command-E[2] guys too.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad MonkeyMind is useful to you.
Quick question about the right-click: What exactly do you mean? Right click on the settings icon or anywhere in the list?
As for Alfred: it's probably simpler to just set up a separate keyboard shortcut for MonkeyMind.

Yes this looks like a good idea. But i wanted the reminders also to be able to display in that quick toolbar rather opening another app(Reminders). It would be nice to merge them and show or choose a list that we wanted to show.
