Perch is the missing piece of Apple Reminders. Apple's Reminders is a great place to keep your tasks, but a slow place to add one. Perch fixes that — it lives in your Mac's menu bar and opens with a global hotkey from any app.
Type it the way you'd say it "Email Sam tomorrow at 9am". "Water the plants every Monday". Perch works out the date, time, and repeat on its own. Set a priority or drop it into a list from the same line.
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. ⌘Z undoes a completion. You never have to reach for the mouse.
See exactly what matters Switch between Today, Upcoming, All, or any of your lists. Sort by due date, priority, title, or date created. A live count in the menu bar shows what's due at a glance. Or show your next reminder's title instead.
Key features:
- Global hotkey works in any app, fully customisable
- Natural-language dates, times, and recurring reminders
- Coloured list dots and overdue highlighting
- Completed items linger briefly, so a mis-tap is easy to undo
- Launches at login, always ready
- Opens instantly under the menu bar. No Dock icon, no clutter
- Private by design — no account, no network connections
Everything reads and writes the same Reminders you already have, syncing across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud.
