Onplana Tasks for Mac
Download or Mac App Store
Your Onplana work, beside the clock.
Lives in the menu bar with your open count beside it. Add a task from any app with Cmd+Shift+Space, and keep working offline.
macOS 13 Ventura or later. Free.
What it looks like
Shot on a Mac.
- Menu-bar count at a glance
- Global quick-add shortcut
- Apple silicon and Intel, signed and notarized
Your open count, always visible
The menu bar carries what is on your plate, so you can tell whether anything needs you without opening anything. Click it for the list, grouped into overdue, today and this week.
Capture from anywhere
Cmd+Shift+Space works from whatever application you are in. Type the task in plain language and it is filed, with a due date if you mentioned one.
Signed, notarized, and universal
One download runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel, and it is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS installs it without the unidentified-developer warning. The download link always serves the current release, and the same app is on the Mac App Store.
Bring someone in without leaving the app
If you own or manage a project, invite people to it from the app and give them a task. Someone already in your workspace gets it at once; someone new joins as a guest, and the task moves to them when they accept.

Questions
Can I use it without an Onplana account?
Yes. Choose Use without an account on the first screen and your tasks stay on this Mac. Sign in when you want your agents, projects and team, and the app offers to move those tasks into Onplana.
Should I download it or get it from the Mac App Store?
Either. It is the same app with the same sign-in. The download updates itself as soon as a release is out; the Mac App Store copy is updated by the App Store, after Apple reviews each release. The Safari extension is a separate install from the Mac App Store.
How does it update?
The download updates itself. The app checks on its own, then downloads, applies and relaunches, so you only use the download link once. You can also check on the spot from Settings then About. The download link stays a stable address that always serves the current release. A copy from the Mac App Store is updated by the App Store instead.
Does it cost anything?
No. Every Onplana Tasks companion is free and included with every plan, including the free plan. It is a companion to your Onplana account, and you can try it without one: your tasks stay on the device until you sign in.
Do I need it to use Onplana?
No. Everything it does, the web app does. The companions exist so the work you have been assigned is one click, one keystroke or one swipe away instead of a tab you have to go and find.
Will my work sync?
Yes. It is the same account and the same data, so a task you complete in a companion is complete everywhere, and a task assigned to you in the web app appears here.
The rest of the family
Same account, same work, wherever you are. Every one is free.
