QuickTodo — Instant Capture TODO App

A local TODO app built around the idea that capturing things should be as fast as copy-paste. Using a Hammerspoon shortcut (Cmd+Option+L), you can select any text in any app — a URL, a Slack message, a line of code — and it goes straight into your TODO list. No context switching, no opening a browser tab, no friction.

Everything runs locally.

How the Capture Works

1. Select text anywhere on your Mac
2. Press Cmd+Option+L
3. Hammerspoon copies the selection and pipes it into QuickTodo
4. A notification confirms the task was added — you never leave what you were doing
