Over the past few months, I've been learning Swift development. Along the way, I kept running into the same problem: I needed a fast, frictionless way to jot down tasks without breaking my flow — whether I'm in a meeting or deep in focused work and don't want to lose momentum by switching apps. So I built SideList. It lives quietly in your Menu Bar, holds up to 10 tasks, and lets you clear completed ones when you're ready. That's it. Why 10? Because SideList isn't meant to replace your project management tool. It's designed to catch what's on your mind right now so you can get back to what actually matters. Ten tasks is more than enough to stay on track without overcomplicating things. I built this for myself first, but I'm sharing it because I think it can help others who work the same way. It's available for a small price — just enough to keep me investing time into improving it and adding features over time. In its first five days on the App Store, over 25 people have already picked it up, which honestly feels incredible for something I made to scratch my own itch. If you're someone who values simplicity and staying in the zone, I'd love for you to give it a try.

I just shipped a new SideList update focused on keeping your tasks cleaner and easier to manage.

SideList now supports multiple lists, so you can separate work, personal tasks, holidays, ideas, or anything else without turning the app into a heavy task manager.

I’ve also added a dedicated archive for completed tasks. You can now search, review, and recover finished tasks whenever you need them, instead of losing track of what you already did.

What’s new:

Multiple lists to organize tasks by context
Archived tasks view
Search inside completed tasks
Cleaner task grouping
Improved menu bar experience
Small UI refinements for a more native macOS feel

The goal is still the same: a simple, focused task list that lives in your Mac menu bar and stays out of your way.
