Appearance and display

Follow your Mac

Tickoff follows macOS light/dark appearance and accent colour. Change these in System Settings > Appearance. There is no in-app theme, accent or text-size preference and no separate Settings window.

The documentation website’s light/dark selector affects only the website, not the Mac app.

Show or hide notes

In a Tasks view, choose View > Show Notes, or open the toolbar’s More ellipsis menu and toggle Show Notes.

When enabled, each task shows a one-line note preview. Hiding previews does not delete notes, and search still matches their full text. Open the task editor to read or change the complete note.

Use compact rows

Choose View > Use Compact Rows, or the same option in More. Compact rows reduce spacing and put the title and metadata together. Show Notes remains a separate option.

Both display options are saved locally and apply across task views. They do not change the dedicated Daily Goals layout; their commands are disabled there.

Adjust the sidebar

Use the sidebar toolbar button or Control-Command-S to hide/show it. Drag its divider to resize it within the supported width.

Tickoff uses one main window. Closing that window quits the app; reopen Tickoff to continue with your saved data.
