Anchored - Timed To Do List
A native macOS focus tool that keeps one anchor task and a quiet timer in the menu bar.
Anchored is a native macOS menu-bar app that keeps a single anchor task and a live countdown permanently in view - in the menu bar and on a desktop widget you can act on - so the day's priority does not have to be re-decided every hour.
One task. Always in sight.
Anchored keeps the single task that matters today front and center - and runs a quiet focus timer beside it, right from the menu bar. No infinite to-do list, no nag windows, no account. It's keyboard-first, but everything works just as well with the mouse.

How it works
- Pick the one anchor task for today and give it a duration like "45m" - then line up whatever comes next.
- Anchored keeps it front and center with a live countdown, right in the menu bar and out of your way.
- When the timer ends, a notification offers a one-tap Done or a snooze on the interval you set yourself.
- A desktop widget shows the same queue in three sizes, and its buttons act without bringing the app forward.
Buying and licensing
Yes. The checkout is pay what you want and zero is a valid amount. You get exactly the same lifetime license as someone who pays the suggested price.
Every Swiftfox app unlocks with a key, and this one's key simply costs nothing. Get it from the store at $0 and it arrives by email. Skip that and the download still runs in full for 30 days on its own.
No. The license is yours for good, on up to 3 Macs, with no renewal and no in-app purchase. The studio sells an optional subscription covering every app, but nothing here is behind it.
No sign-up anywhere. The key goes to whichever email you check out with, and the app never asks you to log in.
Yes, and thank you. Every app page has a Buy me a coffee button - one-off, any amount. It is not a purchase: no license is issued and nothing is unlocked, so every app works exactly the same whether you tip or not.
