I have to say, though, this looks uncannily like my own app, Remember, that I launched a few months ago:

* https://github.com/bogdanp/remember
Right down to the key bindings and some of the marketing copy[1].
Cool. 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…
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.
Alfred; Ok. Just wishing that I used just one single Keyboard Shortcut for both. I use Alfred very often, so if I can continue to use that and do something like -- CMD + Space > "MM Get a Haircut."
Hey HN, Benedict the developer here. I built MonkeyMind as a scratchpad for thoughts while in deep focus. Whenever something pops up in my mind, I needed a place to put it and get back to work. Pen and paper can do the trick, but something with a Spotlight-like shortcut would be better. And that is what MonkeyMind does. A simple global keyboard shortcut to add items and an app that lives in the menubar and gets out o…
Would you consider adding sync functionality, so that the same list works on multiple machines?

Congrats on making this, it looks slick. Would you consider adding sync functionality, so that the same list works on multiple machines?
Congrats on launching!

Yours looks more like the default Cmd+Space action - Spotlight available in MacOS.
I personally prefer the simplicity of the app that lives in the top bar as it comes with lower cognitive load by not needing to remember some keywords to summon your tool that is not in my active view.
Major difference is mine is focused on longer form documentation and comes with an inline markdown editor. Congrats on the launch!
What I like with MonkeyMind is the minimal amount of friction involved, as well as automatic timestamp.

In that vein, you're free to read, build and run the application yourself, on your own devices, but please don't share any built artifacts with others.
Minor bit of feedback, it would be great to add a licence file to GitHub to expose this a bit more clearly and in a more standard way. I have no problem with this choice, but I can see some users missing this licence-esque bit of the README.
This is a much more polished version of what I do, which is to keep a note (in Notes app) called Brain Dump, and I jot down anything that is cluttering my mind, which I hold on for fear of forgetting. Just the act of writing it down helps; it's a reassurance that it's ok to let go of those thoughts because they are saved elsewhere.
