Billine's icon in the menu bar shows what's left for today, and keeps Billine running after you close its window.

Why Billine keeps running

When you close Billine’s last window, it stays in the menu bar with no Dock icon. That way ⌃⌥Space still opens a new task from any app, and your reminders still ring. Press ⌘Q, or choose Quit Billine in the menu, to quit it.

Hide the icon

In Settings, turn off Show in the menu bar. Closing the window then leaves Billine running in the Dock instead, and the shortcut keeps working.

  • Capture from any app Press Control-Option-Space anywhere on your Mac to write a task without leaving what you're doing.
  • Today and the fold Today splits your tasks in two, what you committed to and what you could do, so the day stays a plan instead of a pile.
