1 Introduction
Everyone has things to do every day. For some people, writing down those
things, tasks, reminders and ideas is necessary so they don’t forget about them.
Having an always available task list is paramount.
PopDo is a quick and simple task list application. It sits in the menu bar foreasy access, ready to be called with a click or with a keyboard shortcut.
PopDo gives you a small popup window with a list of all your lists and tasks.
Because it is integrated with Apple Reminders, all lists and reminders from thisapplication are automatically available in PopDo and vice versa.
In this manual you will find how to use PopDo and also troubleshoot somecommon problems. Shall you encounter any bug or require further assistance,
please do not hesitate to contact me at support@ds9soft.com.

1.1

System Requirements

PopDo requires a Mac running macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or higher. Synchronizing
with iCloud requires an active Internet connection. For proper integration withApple Reminders, you should be logged into your iCloud account.

1.2

Installation & Uninstallation

PopDo is available for purchase directly from DS9 Software or from the AppleMac App Store. Both versions are equivalent, but if you purchase from us you’ll
be receiving updates sooner than the App Store and you’ll be able to choose
whether to update or not. PopDo is only available for purchase directly fromDS9 Software.

1.2.1

Installing the Free Trial

PopDo is available for trial from its web page1 . The trial runs for 15 days consecutive from the first run. After the trial ends, you can purchase PopDo or remove
it from your Mac (subsection 1.2.3). Each time you launch PopDo during the trial
period, you will be reminded of how many days are left in your trial (Figure 1.3).
To install the trial version, open the DMG file you downloaded by doubleclicking on the file to ”mount” the image. A window asking for you to accept thelicense terms will appear. After you accept the terms, a second window will open
(Figure 1.1).

2
Drag the PopDo icon to the Applications folder and wait until it finishes copying the files. Close the window and unmount the DMG file. You can then proceed
to launch it for the first time (section 1.3).

Figure 1.1: PopDo DMG window

1.2.2

Installing From the Mac App StoreTo purchase from Apple, open the Mac App Store and search for PopDo. Next
click on the price button and finally on ”BUY APP”.

3

Figure 1.2: Purchase PopDo on the Mac App Store
Once you have purchased PopDo, it will begin downloading immediately.
You can then proceed to launch it for the first time (section 1.3).

1.2.3

Uninstalling

To uninstall PopDo open the Finder, select Applications from the sidebar, look
for the PopDo icon, drag and drop it to the trash icon in the dock. A dialog may
appear asking for your credentials; enter your credentials to proceed removing
PopDo.

1.2.4

License Activation

The license activation process is very simple. You should have received by email
a file with your license code. To activate PopDo, simple drag & drop the license
file into the trial window (Figure 1.3).

4

Figure 1.3: Trial window
You can also open the license file with any text editor, copy the code andpaste it into the license box, and then click the Activate button. Once PopDo is
activated, you should see the following window:

5

Figure 1.4: License activated1.3

First Run

PopDo is launched as any other Mac application: from the Launchpad, the Dockor by typing the name in Spotlight Search. Once PopDo has been launched, youwill see its icon in the Mac menu bar.

Figure 1.5: PopDo icon in the menu bar
You can configure PopDo to automatically launch when you log-in, usuallyat start-up (subsection 1.4.3).

1.3.1

Authorizing Access to Reminders

The first time you open the main window, PopDo will notify you (Figure 1.6)
that it needs permission to use Apple Reminders’ database. This permission isrequired to integrate with Reminders, otherwise PopDo will not work. Click on
the ”Request Access” button to proceed.

6

Figure 1.6: Permissions required notification
After dismissing the notification, macOS will ask you to grant PopDo thosepermissions (Figure 1.7). Click ”OK”. You now have allowed PopDo to accessReminders.

Figure 1.7: macOS asking you to grant permissions to PopDo
If for some reason you deny access to Reminders (by clicking ”Don’t Allow”),
PopDo will notify you about that when you try to open the main window. You willneed to restore permissions first to be able to grant them. In order to do so, see
the troubleshooting section 3.2.

1.3.2

Opening PopDo

After launching PopDo from the Launchpad, the Dock, or manually from Spotlight Search, you will open the main window directly from the icon in the Mac
menu bar (Figure 1.5).

7

1.4

The User Interface

2.1

Lists

A list is a collection of tasks (section 2.2) used for organizing and containing a
set of items. For example the grocery list, the daily to-do list, the work task list.
There is no limit to how many lists you can create, other than being practical.

2.1.1

Creating Lists

To create a new list, open the main menu and click on New List or press the++ N . The new list will be created below the otherkeyboard shortcut
items and titled ”New List”. The title is preselected so you can start typing a new

title and then press
The new list will be empty upon creation. To create a task under this list, referto subsection 2.2.1.

2.1.2

Setting a Color

Each new list you create comes with a default color. To set a new color, right-clickon the list header to open the contextual menu for the list (Figure 1.8).

Figure 2.1: List context menu
Then select Change Color... to open the color picker panel (Figure 2.2).
Select the color you want and close the panel.

2.1.3

List Visibility

Lists can be individually set visible (the default) or hidden. Hiding a list is a way
to declutter the main view. By selecting the lists to show, you can better focus
on the tasks at hand, while removing all unnecessary distractions.
1112

Figure 2.2: Selecting a list or task color

Hiding a List
To hide a list from view, do one of the following:• Right-click on the list header to open the contextual menu (Figure 2.1).
Then select Hide to hide the list from view.
• Click on the List visibility selector (Figure 1.9) and uncheck which lists
to hide. Lists that are currently visible are checked, while the hidden ones
are unchecked.
Unhiding a List
To unhide a list, click on the List visibility selector (Figure 1.9) and check thelist you want to be visible again.

2.1.4

Deleting Lists

13
either select the list and press the
key to remove it, or right-click on the list to
open the contextual menu (Figure 2.1) and select Delete. Once a list is deleted,
it will disappear from view.

2.2

Tasks

A task in PopDo is the representation of a real-life task, a to-do item or a reminder
to do something. It has a title, a color indicator to easily identify the task, a notes
field, a flag, a priority indicator and a reminder field.
A task always belongs to a particular list. It can be moved to another list if
required. For quickly finding a task, you can search for it or use the available
filters and sort orders to narrow down the visible tasks.

2.2.1

Creating Tasks

To create a new task, you can either create it under the default list (usually named
Reminders) or under a specific list.
Create a Task Under the Default List
To create a task under the default list, open the main menu and click on New+ N . The new task will be createdTask or press the keyboard shortcut
below the other tasks contained in the default list. If the default list was previously
hidden, it will be set visible after the new task is created.
Create a Task Under a Specific List

a + button appears on the opposite side of the title. Press the button to create a
new task.
After the task is created, it will be titled ”New Task”. The title is preselectedto accept.
so you can start typing a new title and then press

The Quick Task window allows you to create a new task by calling it with ashortcut key without opening the main window.

Figure 2.3: Quick Task window
To create the task, enter the task title along with a textual reminder date andthe target list. You can specify a list by using a hashtag symbol (#) before the14list name when the list name doesn’t contain spaces, or putting the list namebetween curly braces ({}). You can also flag the task by typing !! at the end of
the entry.
Creating a Task from the Services Menu
MacOS applications that handle text in any way, such as Mail, Notes, and manyother third party applications, make the Services menu available for other applications to use. The Services menu can be reached from the main application
menu or from the contextual menu.
To create a task using Services, select the text you want to use as title andnotes for a new task, open the contextual menu, select Services and then selectAdd as Task to PopDo. A new task will be created in the default list, using thefirst line in the selection as title and the rest of the lines as notes.

2.2.2

• Click on the task color indicator (Label 7 in Figure 1.8) to open the color
picker panel (Figure 2.2).
Then select the color you want. While the color panel is active, you can keepchanging other tasks’ colors by clicking each task individually and selecting thecolor in the panel. When you are finished, close the color panel.

2.2.3

Setting the Priority

The main purpose for priorities is to visually identify the tasks by their urgency.
With filtering and sorting (subsection 2.2.8) you can restrict and sort the set ofvisible tasks by their priority level. For example the Top filter will only show tasks
with higher priority.

15
Tasks can have one of four priority levels set: High, Medium, Low and None.
The default priority is None, which is the lower priority.
Priorities are color-coded, from High to None being: Red, Orange, Greenand Gray.
To set the priority, do one of the following:• Click the priority indicator (Label 6 in Figure 1.8) to cycle through all thelevels until you reach the one you want. The color will reflect the priority
selected.
• Right-click on the task to open the contextual menu (Figure 2.4) and clickon Set Priority to show the submenu. Then select the priority from the list.

2.2.4

Setting a Reminder

Tasks can have a reminder attached to them. When you set a reminder, youwill be notified by Apple Reminders when the task is due, also allowing you tocomplete, cancel or postpone the task.
To set a reminder, do one of the following:• Click on the Set Reminder button in the task or right-click on the task toopen the contextual menu (Figure 2.4) and select Set Reminder.... A reminder field will appear so you can set a date and time (Figure 2.5).

Figure 2.5: Task reminder field• In the title field of the task, specify the date for the reminder. PopDo uses
natural language processing to extract the date and time when it recognizes it.
To remove a reminder, click on the circular button marked with an ”X”.

2.2.5

Completing Tasks

Tasks can be marked complete by clicking the circle button to the side of the task
title. When you click the button, the task will disappear from view. Completed
tasks are only visible with the Done filter selected.

2.2.6

Deleting Tasks

Deleting a task is an unrecoverable action, so be careful when you do it. To
delete a task, either select the task and press the
key to remove it, or rightclick on the task to open the contextual menu (Figure 2.4) and select Delete.
Once a task is deleted, it will disappear from view.

16

2.2.7

Moving a Task to Other List

Tasks are not fixed to their parent list after you create them. You can move atask to another list by drag & dropping it to the desired list. When you drag thetask and move it over the items in the other list, an horizontal colored line will
mark the place where the drop will occur, thus also marking the target list.
Note that due to sorting and filtering, the final location in the list of the dropped
task may not be the marked one.

2.2.8

Searching, Sorting & Filtering Tasks

When you have many tasks in your lists, finding the ones you are looking forcan become non-trivial and take time. To ease the process, PopDo supports
searching, sorting and filtering, all accessible through the top panel (Figure 2.6).

Figure 2.6: Search, sort and filter panel
Searching
To start searching, click on the Search field and just type part of the task title orpart of the text in the notes field that you are looking for. The list of tasks will
update automatically to show you the tasks that match your search criteria. As
you refine the search, you can narrow down the list of tasks to show only themost relevant.
To clear the search, click on the circular button marked with an ”X” or press
the esc key.
Sorting
To sort the list of tasks, click on the Sort By drop-down menu and select one of
the several sorting orders (Figure 2.7).

Figure 2.7: Sort orders submenu
The list of tasks will automatically update to reflect the new sort order.

17
Filtering
PopDo has several filters that help you narrow down the list of visible tasks:• The All filter (or no filter) shows all tasks without any filtering.
• The Top filter shows only the tasks with higher priority.
• The Flagged filter shows only the tasks that are flagged.
• The Any|Today|Next filter shows tasks where the due date matches theselected filter.
• The Done filter is a compound filter that is applied on top of any of theother filters. When selected, it will further restrict the view to tasks that arecompleted.
The filter buttons have a shortcut assigned:• All:• Top:++

1
2• Flagged:• Done:++30

To select a filter, click on the filter button or press the corresponding shortcut
to update the view.
