TaskBar ToDo List
Your to-do lists on a slim notepad clipped to the taskbar. Click the tray icon and the pad opens beside the clock; tick a task and a pen strikes it through. Keep several lists as tab dividers, drag tasks into order, flag what matters, set due dates and reminders, and pin the pad open so it stays on screen while you work.

About TaskBar ToDo List
A to-do list is only useful if it is where you look. TaskBar ToDo List keeps yours one click from the taskbar, on a slim pad that sits beside the clock and never takes over the screen.
One click away
Click the icon in the notification area and the pad opens against the taskbar, on whichever edge of the screen your taskbar lives. Click elsewhere and it tucks away again. Or pin it with the clip at its foot and it stays on screen while you work. A shortcut of your choice brings it up from any app, ready to type.
Drag the pad anywhere you prefer and it remembers the spot, or snap it back to the taskbar. Resize it as large as you need; long tasks wrap rather than disappear.
Lists as tab dividers
Keep Today, Work and Home apart, or name your own. Each list is a tab down the side of the pad, with a count of what is left on it. Click a tab to switch lists, double-click to rename.
In the order you want
Drag a task by its handle to move it up or down, or drop it on another tab to move it to that list. Flag the tasks that matter and keep them at the top. Sort a list by priority, by due date or from A to Z whenever it gets out of hand.
Due dates and reminders
Give a task a due date and it shows on the task, turning red once it is overdue. Set a reminder for a time and Windows shows a notification when it arrives — in an hour, this evening, tomorrow morning or any time you pick.
Quick to use
Type and press Enter to add; the box stays ready for the next one. Tick a task and a pen strikes it through, then it folds away into Done. Click a task to edit it. Delete one by mistake and Undo brings it back. Search looks through every list at once.
Nothing lost
Every change is written to disk the moment you make it — ticks, edits, the order, even a task you have only half typed. Tasks from the previous version come across when you update. Export your lists as JSON or plain text, and import them back.
It works fully offline and needs no account. An optional EvlarSoft ONE sign-in backs up your lists and settings so you can carry them to another PC. Feedback is sent only when you press Send.
