Perch is a menu bar app for Apple Reminders: press one hotkey from any app, type "Book the dentist Friday at nine", and it's filed with the date set before you've lost your place. Reminders is a good place to keep a task and a slow place to add one, because adding means switching over, pressing plus, typing the title, picking a date and a time, closing it, and finding your way back to whatever you were doing. That's six clicks to file a six-word thought, and the clicks were never the expensive part. The expensive part was asking "where was I?" once they were done. Perch opens over your work instead of pulling you out of it, and gets out of the way when you're done. The same panel shows what's due today and what's coming, so you can check a few things off without opening anything. Everything it writes is an ordinary reminder in your own lists, syncing to your iPhone and iPad through iCloud the way it always has. You don't use Perch instead of Reminders; you use it because you use Reminders. There's nothing to import and no second list going stale. FEATURES: · Type it the way you'd say it: Perch reads natural language, so you can write "Email Sam tomorrow at 9am" or "Water the plants every Monday" and it picks up the date, time, and repeat on its own. Set a priority or drop it into a list from the same line. Editing speaks plain words too: type "tomorrow 9am" right in the title. · And it forgives how you type: "tmrw", "everyday" and "at ten" all land where you expect. List names match without their accents, and when you nearly get a word right, Perch asks what you meant. · Built for the keyboard: Open with your hotkey, type to search or add, arrow to move, space to complete, return to edit, escape to dismiss. Undo with ⌘Z. You never have to reach for the mouse. · Handle several at once: Hold Shift or Command to pick out more than one, then complete, move, delete, or change their priority together. One Undo takes it all back. · See exactly what matters: Switch between Today, Upcoming, All, or any of your lists, and sort by due date, priority, title, or date created. The menu bar can show a live count, your next reminder, or how you are doing: "6/10" is six done today out of ten due. · Make it yours: Choose which lists Perch shows, pick a size, and slide Perch from see-through to solid. Thoughtful details: · Global hotkey works in any app, fully customizable · Colored list dots and overdue highlighting · Completed items linger briefly, so a mis-tap is easy to undo · Launch at login, always ready · Opens instantly, right under the menu bar; no Dock icon, no clutter Perch has no account and makes no network connections. Your reminders never leave your Mac except through your own iCloud sync, exactly as Apple's Reminders already handles them. Nothing is collected, tracked, or sent anywhere. Perch is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no account to create. Requires access to Reminders. macOS 14 or later.
