There is no free “later.”
Donna is a macOS menu bar to-do app for people who forget things. Dismissing a reminder costs nothing and buys the task another day of being invisible — so Donna is built to make the dodge cost more than the task.
Escalating nags
Snoozing buys silence, never amnesty.
Priced escapes
The snooze menu shrinks every time you dodge.
Quick capture
⌥⇧Space. Type, ⌘⏎, gone.
Patterns
What you dodge, when, and in your own words.
“I’m on it”
Statuses and estimates are claims with clocks. When one runs out, Donna asks: done?

Harvey only gets to be Harvey because Donna carries the rest.
I'd just finished Suits. I love Harvey and Mike, but the person I kept coming back to was Donna — the one who knows the room, holds every detail, and never lets the important thing slip. Harvey gets to walk in sharp and focused for exactly one reason: someone he trusts is holding everything else.
Meanwhile my own life has too many threads to trust my memory with, and every to-do app I tried let me dismiss a reminder for free — the task just went invisible again. So I built the assistant I actually needed and named it after her: Donna, the app, is inspired by that Donna. Real principles about getting shit done, no excuses, and a reminder that keeps coming back until the thing is true.
Donna is open source, in case you want one of your own — or want to help make the app sharper.
Open source, top to bottom.
Every line of Donna — the ladder, the record, the voice — is native Swift you can read, audit, and build yourself. The repo goes public when the app ships.

Coming soon to your menu bar
An app that isn't running can't nag you. Donna launches at login, lives in the menu bar, and never takes over your screen — it just never lets a commitment quietly disappear. Donna is Mac-only: no web app, no Windows build, nothing on your phone.
Coming Soon macOS 15+
