Tasks, timer, notes, music. One hover away.
Notch Monster turns the empty strip at the top of Windows into a pill that holds the things you check all day. Hover it or press Alt+`. Then shape it, theme it and arrange it however you like.
Psst — it has eyes. Try poking it.
Everything you check, one hover away.
This one's live. Hover the pill and the panel opens under it; move away and it folds back up. Tick a task, right-click one to time it, play a song.

Hover the pill. It's live.
Every task belongs to a day. Today's list opens first, and anything unfinished from earlier days is one click from today. Browse the week in the expanded view.
The countdown sits in the pill. Right-click any task to start a timer for it. Survives sleep and restarts.

A scratchpad that's always there.
Snooze hides it for 10 minutes, then it comes back on its own.

Your email activates the app. Tasks and notes never leave your PC.
Make it look like yours.
Almost everything is a setting, and you see each change live as you make it. Start from a built-in theme or build your own.
Width, height, curves and shoulders. Solid or gradient, see-through or not. Border, shadow, hang it from the edge or let it float. A different look on each monitor.
Solid or gradient background, see-through down to 30%. Tiles tinted, solid, outlined or bare. A color per widget, five fonts, text from 85% to 125%. Every built-in theme passes WCAG AA contrast.
Drag. Resize.
Put widgets anywhere, size them from any edge, and the rest slide aside. Rebind both hotkeys while you're there.
They narrow while your timer runs, relax to your music, hop when you tick a task and doze when you step away. No hunger meter, no XP. Rather have a plain pill? One switch turns the face off.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no payment during the alpha. When the full version launches, alpha testers get a discount when they buy with the same email.
Why only 20 seats?
It's early. A small group means every bug report gets read and every idea gets a real answer.
What do you store about me?
Your email, when you joined, and a hashed ID for each PC you activate. Nothing from your board. Email us and we'll delete it.
Mac? Android?
Windows only for now. An Android side panel is on the roadmap.
