High Priority: Get Things Done With Your Menu Bar

To-do lists are the center-point of any productive person, and iCal makes this pretty easy. However, if you want an even easier way to add to-dos, High Priority brings that to your menu bar. With a simple click, or keyboard shortcut, you can easily view your to-dos and have real-time feedback on their status.

High Priority 1.11 is also thankfully now compiled as a universal binary.

Items can be removed and added from the menu with a keystroke, as well as invoking the menu itself, so you can have full keyboard control of your to-dos. Tasks that are close to being overdue can be highlighted so you get to them sooner, and High Priority also interacts with iCal’s to-do list, so you don’t double up on tasks. Even the colors you use for your to-do’s in iCal can be used in High Priority so you can associate them easier. A simple application that’s cheap (only US$6, but when used unregistered, does everything except let you add new tasks) and does what it says and can increase your productivity with ease.
