Best Menu Bar App Around

Edit: Star added for the exception listening skills of the developer. This app is perfcect now! Don't hesitate to grab it.

Original Review: Love the app, but there's too much space in between each task. Needs to have a compact view or something that takes out the Notes: and other sections and just leaves the to-dos.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the review. I agree there is some space that could be saved. I initially tested different row sizes and didn’t like much the non-homogeneous sizing, so I kept one-size only. But I’ll make sure to include another more compact view for the next version, with just the basics.

Good app — but there's a problem

This app fulfilled my needs for the most part. It sits in the menubar and allows me to quickly add items to my various lists in reminders. That's what I needed. It''s not perfect for me. For instance, I'd like to be able to sort items manually — but it was doable for what I needed. Except for one thing.

I noticed in Activity Monitor that something was causing CalendarAgent to run continously — using a huge amount of resources — for literally days at a time. I quit all apps that used calendar info one by one. Nothing helped — until I quit PopDo. As soon as I did that, CalendarAgent was using no resources.

I am using an M1 iMac and running the latest version of Monterey. This is something that needs to be fixed. If that happens, I will ammend my review.

Great Utility

Quick access to a menubar tool for making those todo items and reminders on the fly. Seamless integration with built-in Reminders. Simple and effective.
