Two ways to organise your day

Tasks projects hold tasks with notes, status, priority and optional due dates. Use Inbox as a starting point, or create a project to group related work.

Daily Goals projects have a dedicated Today view for daily check-offs and whole-number counters. Progress starts fresh each local calendar day.

Tickoff requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Everyday workflows

• Tasks: add details, set status, complete tasks and understand deletion.
• Search and filters: combine project scope, status and text search.
• Projects: organise tasks and understand archive/delete behaviour.
• Daily Goals: check-offs, counters, local-day resets and tomorrow’s edits.
• Keyboard shortcuts: menu commands and selection requirements.
• Appearance and display: note previews, compact rows and the sidebar.
