Nimble Task · for Mac
A tiny Mac app for people who'd rather type their tasks than click through forms, drag cards around, or learn a system that needs its own system.
Free · no in-app purchases
Open a file. Write your list. Done. (Well, your list isn't done. But you know what we mean.) No database, no account, no onboarding carousel.
* Work Website Redesign: - Pick a font that isn't Comic Sans @design - Reply to Marcus about the budget @email @waiting * Home Apartment: - Call the plumber (again) @today
| You type | It means |
|---|---|
* Work | An area, a big bucket for part of your life. |
Project: | A project. It ends with a colon. |
- Something | A task. |
@anything | A tag. Make up as many as you like. |
Already using TaskPaper files? Nimble Task opens them as they are.
Every tag and project gets its own little pill at the top of the window. Click one and everything else disappears.
See what's @urgent,
@waiting or @errand.
Combine them to narrow things down.
Show one project at a time, and nothing else.
Filters as you type. Esc brings the full list back.
Fix a typo, add a task, tick something off, without leaving the view. New tasks pick up the tags you're filtering by, so they don't vanish.
Five shortcuts cover almost everything.
| ⌘D | Mark a task @done (or undo it) |
| ⌘T | Flag a task for @today |
| ⌘F | Jump to search |
| Esc | Clear all filters |
| ⌘Z | Undo anything. Seriously, anything. |
For people who like plain text, think in lists, and want a to-do app that stays out of the way.
