Clipist transforms how you capture tasks on your Mac. This lightweight menu bar app lets you instantly turn any selected text into a Todoist task using a simple keyboard shortcut—no matter what app you're in.
How it works:
Select text from emails, web pages, documents, or any application, then press Cmd+Shift+Y (⌘⇧Y ). Clipist automatically captures your selection and creates a new task in your Todoist inbox. It's that simple.
Perfect for:
• Researchers collecting actionable insights from articles
• Students are organizing study tasks from the course materials
• Project managers capture requirements from emails
• Anyone who needs to quickly save important information as tasks
Key Features:
• Global Cmd+Shift+Y shortcut works system-wide
• Seamless integration with your existing Todoist account
• Runs quietly in your menu bar—no dock clutter
• Secure API connection protects your data
• Instant notifications confirm task creation
• Simple setup with your Todoist API token
Privacy & Permissions:
Clipist requires Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions to read selected text and respond to the global shortcut. All data goes directly to your Todoist account—nothing is stored locally or shared with third parties.
System Requirements:
macOS 10.13 or later. Requires an active Todoist account.
Stop losing important thoughts while browsing, reading, or working. With Clipist, every piece of actionable text is just one shortcut away from becoming an organized task in your productivity system.
