Chexo

A minimal floating task panel for macOS. Lives in your menu bar, ready when you need it.

What it does

• Floating panel — stays above your windows, drag it anywhere on screen
• Focus mode — isolate a single task and zero in until it's done
• Keyboard-first — press Cmd-N to start typing a task, Esc to dismiss
• Progress tracking — see your completion rate at a glance
• Lightweight — no accounts, no sync, no subscriptions. Just tasks.

Requirements

• macOS 15.0 (Sequoia) or later
• Xcode 16+
• XcodeGen 2.43+

brew install xcodegen

# Generate the Xcode project from project.yml
