A to-do list that lives in your Mac's menu bar. Click, add, tick. That's the whole manual.

Most to-do apps keep growing until running the list is a job of its own. Ticklet stopped at the list: open it, add, tick, close. Below, this page is one. Tick it off as you read.

Ticklet lives in the menu bar and nowhere else: no Dock icon, no window to lose, no account to make. One click opens your list. Enter saves the task and keeps the box open for the next one.
A ticked task slides off the list but stays in the app, grouped by day with a restore arrow. Nothing is ever deleted. Tick this one and look at the Done shelf at the bottom.
Issues assigned to you sit right under your own tasks. Tick one and it moves to Done in Linear. Restore it and it goes back to the exact column it came from, read from the issue's own history.
The app is also an MCP server. Tick Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI or Claude Desktop on one screen and they can read your list, add to it and check things off.
Twice a day a Claude run reads the places you list, like a shared planning doc, and adds only what's under your name and not struck through yet. It never writes back to the source.
Free and open source. Download the latest release from GitHub, move it to Applications, and look up at your menu bar.
That's Ticklet: a list you empty every day and a history that keeps everything. Everything you ticked is on the shelf below.
