What's New

  • Fixed: iCloud sync could hang forever with no explanation. If macOS's Low Power Mode was on, syncing would spin indefinitely with zero feedback — not broken, just silently stuck. Sync now times out and shows a clear error if that happens, instead of spinning forever.
  • New: a quick sync report. After syncing, Preferences → Sync now shows a one-line summary of what came in from your other devices — e.g. "2 added, 1 completed" — instead of leaving you guessing whether anything actually happened.
  • New: Add Item and Snooze in the menu bar. Right-click the menu bar icon for two new shortcuts — Add Item opens the quick-add panel, and Snooze applies the same snooze as the in-panel button — without needing to open the panel first.
  • Hardened: your to-do list is now more resilient to data loss. Three defensive fixes, none of which should ever come up in normal use, but all closing a real gap: a corrupted or unreadable save file no longer gets silently replaced with an empty one (the original is preserved); accidentally running two copies of the app at once no longer risks one silently overwriting the other's changes; and a long-expired iCloud sync token now recovers automatically instead of getting permanently stuck.

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.
