Perch speaks Slovak
- Update
Perch 1.1 adds Slovak. The whole interface is translated, and quick entry now reads Slovak natural language: type “vysávať každú stredu o 9” and Perch understands the task, the repeat, and the time.
Also in 1.1:
- Date and time pills in the editor. Click the date for a calendar, the time for a clock.
- Deadline menu on right-click (or ⌃↩): Today, Tomorrow, This Weekend, Next Week. Dates are set all-day, so nothing lands instantly overdue.
- Duplicate a reminder from the same menu.
- System-wide scope shortcuts (⌃⌥1–4) open Perch directly in Today, Upcoming, All, or No Date. Rebindable in Settings ▸ Shortcuts.
- Show completed reminders, a new setting that keeps the last day’s completed items visible at the bottom of the panel.
- Welcome screen on first launch: where Perch lives, the shortcut that summons it, and how to add a reminder in plain words.
- Settings moved into a standard window with General, Shortcuts, and About tabs.
Plus smaller refinements and fixes throughout, including smoother keyboard navigation.
Perch is out!
- Release
Perch open from the menu bar on a MacBook. Perch 1.0 is live on the Mac App Store. It is my first macOS app.
Perch lives in the menu bar and opens with a keystroke (⌥Space, rebindable). Type a reminder in plain English and the interpretation strip shows the date, list, and priority it understood before you commit. It works with your existing Apple Reminders, in the same lists you already have.
In 1.0:
- Full keyboard control. Everything is doable without the mouse.
- Scopes: Today, Upcoming, All, No Date, or any list, switchable with ⌘1–4 and ⌘L.
- Completed items linger briefly, so a mis-tap is one undo away.
- VoiceOver actions on every row.
- Ten interface languages, with quick entry reading English.
No account, no network, nothing collected. Reminders stay on your Mac and sync through your own iCloud.
