What's New

  • Preferences has been reorganized into three tabs — General, Appearance, and Sync — navigated from a sidebar, instead of one long scrolling list of settings.
  • New setting: Auto-Snooze (General tab) — when enabled, logging a to-do also snoozes Cmd+Tab for your configured Snooze duration, exactly as if you'd clicked the Snooze button yourself.
  • A round of layout and alignment fixes throughout Preferences (label wrapping, uneven spacing, button positioning).

Installing (first time)

  1. Download Squirrel Trap.zip below and unzip it.
  2. Drag Squirrel Trap.app to your Applications folder (or anywhere you like).
  3. Open it. It's signed and notarized by Apple, so it launches normally — no security warnings or workarounds needed.
  4. On first launch, grant Input Monitoring permission when prompted — this is what lets it detect Cmd+Tab. It's passive and never records anything else you type.

Updating (already have it installed)

  1. Quit Squirrel Trap (menu bar icon → Quit, or the Quit button in Preferences).
  2. Download Squirrel Trap.zip below and unzip it.
  3. Drag the new Squirrel Trap.app to Applications, replacing the old one.
  4. Relaunch.

Your to-do history, favorites, and preferences are all stored separately and aren't touched by replacing the app.

Squirrel Trap also checks for updates automatically and will show a link in the app when a newer version is available — you'll still need to come back here to download it, per the above.
