Summary
PopTask is a lightweight macOS menu bar task manager that allows users to quickly capture tasks using natural language input, either typed or spoken. It eliminates the need for forms, dropdowns, or date pickers by understanding messy, shorthand, or slang input and automatically scheduling tasks. The app syncs with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Reminders, runs entirely on-device (no cloud, no account, no tracking), supports 7 languages, and includes AI-powered scheduling, task breakdown, and smart countdown alerts. It's currently launching on Product Hunt as a free app for macOS 26 and later.
