An offline task list in the macOS menu bar. Type naturally to create to-dos.
About Gutta
Gutta is a small offline task list that lives in the macOS menu bar. Type whatever comes to mind as you would normally say it, such as “Buy bread tomorrow morning”, “Call Mom at 5 PM”, or “Send the invoice Friday at 10:30”, press Return, and get back to work. The menu bar icon shows counts for overdue, today, and later tasks at a glance. Tasks are stored locally with SwiftData and can also sync through the user's own iCloud Drive folder. The app has no Gutta account, uses no third-party servers, and has no location features. Gutta works with macOS 14 or later.
