Shia LaBeouf: JUST DO IT Open Mac Do It, add a task, check it off, delete one

Don't let your dreams be dreams. JUST DO IT.

A tiny macOS menu bar todo list, powered by Shia LaBeouf's legendary motivational speech.

  • Shia lives in your menu bar with the number of things you still haven't done.
  • Click him: add tasks, check them off, click a task for notes.
  • Every finished task gets you a JUST DO IT meme and sound.
  • Tasks you didn't finish yesterday stay at the bottom with a 🔥 counter of how many days you've been ignoring them.
  • Resizable popover; everything autosaves. Speaker button in the footer to mute Shia.

Install

  1. Download MacDoIt.zip from Releases and unzip.
  2. Move MacDoIt.app to /Applications.
  3. The app is not notarized, so the first time run: xattr -cr /Applications/MacDoIt.app (or right-click → Open).

Requires macOS 14+. Want it on login? System Settings → General → Login Items → add Mac Do It.

Build from source

Needs Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install).

./doit.sh        # build + run
./doit.sh test   # self-check

Your tasks are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/MacDoIt/todos.json.
