SideList: Quick Menu Bar Tasks

SideList is a fast, focused task manager that lives in your Mac menu bar.

Stop switching windows just to capture a task. With SideList, your lists are always one click away: add a thought, reorder your priorities, complete what matters, and get back to work.

Most task apps are built to manage everything. SideList is built for what matters now.

Create multiple focused lists for work, personal tasks, quick reminders, ideas, meetings, errands, or temporary notes that do not need a full project management system. Each list stays lightweight and glanceable, so you always know what to do next without opening another app or cluttering your workspace.

SideList is perfect for:
Daily priorities.
Quick thoughts during meetings.
Small task lists for different projects.
Temporary reminders.
Personal checklists.
Tasks that are too small for your calendar or project manager.
