A daily to-do app for scattered minds

Some days you do one thing.
That still counts.

Tackled is a tiny, fast Mac app built to catch what's in your head before it slips away — and it never punishes you for a slow day. No streaks to break. No guilt for adding a task. Just momentum, and momentum only goes up.

A real screen recording, not a mockup. Watch it — it only ever fills.

A day, tackled

The actual shape of using it, start to finish.

01

Capture

⌥Space, type, hit enter. It's on today's list before the thought can slip away.

→
02

Focus

Pick one thing, or let Tackled pick for you. Everything else disappears.

→
03

Tackle it

Check it off. The momentum meter fills in — it never asks you to explain the rest of the list.

→
04

Tomorrow

Unfinished things wait for you, no guilt attached. Start again whenever you're ready.

Built for how your brain actually works

Five tools, each solving exactly one problem.

⚡

Capture anywhere

⌥Space drops a capture bar over whatever's on screen. Type it, hit enter, move on — it's on today's list before the thought finishes forming. One toggle sends it to Brain farts instead, if it's not a task at all.

Plan today

Every morning, Tackled walks you through today's list before the inbox can. Set a nudge on anything time-sensitive, and it'll tap you on the shoulder exactly when it matters.

🎯

Focus mode

One task, full screen, nothing else. It opens on whatever you've been putting off longest, so avoidance doesn't get the final word.

Brain farts

Stray thoughts aren't tasks. Park them in their own inbox, find them again with a search, and get back to whatever pulled your attention away.

🧲

Snap back to today

A stray idea in Brain farts. A task you parked for later. Something the weekly review just surfaced. However many places your attention drifted off to, there's exactly one way back — the same small mark, wherever it turns up, always meaning the same thing. Try it below.

ONE BADGE, EVERYWHERE

Not another streak app.

Streaks break. And when they break, most apps make you feel like you failed. Tackled doesn't have streaks — it has momentum, and adding a task never costs you progress.

Other to-do apps

  • ✕A streak that resets to zero the moment you miss a day
  • ✕Your progress bar drops every time you add a task
  • ✕Time tracking that feels like surveillance
  • ✕One inbox for tasks and every stray thought

Tackled

  • ✓Momentum that never retreats — no streak to lose
  • ✓Adding a task never shrinks what you've already done
  • ✓An optional focus timer — nothing ever logged
  • ✓Brain farts 💭 — a separate home for stray thoughts

Give your brain somewhere to put things down.

A native Mac app, built to be yours — no account, no server.
