TodoPin

Cute, pinnable todo cards for your Windows desktop.

TodoPin lets you create lightweight, frameless todo cards that float on your desktop. Pin them anywhere, customize colors, and keep your tasks always in sight. Built with Tauri v2, Svelte 5, and Rust.

Features

• Floating todo cards — Frameless, draggable cards that sit on your desktop
• Pin or widget mode — Keep cards always on top, or let them sit behind other windows
• Minimize to header — Collapse a card to a compact title bar when you need the space back
• Edit in place — Double-click or hit the pencil icon to rename a todo without re-adding
• Drag to reorder — Grab the handle on any active todo and drop it into position
• Undo deletes — 5-second toast with “Undo” after deleting a task or clearing completed
• Completed drawer — Finished todos collapse into a section at the bottom, out of the way but one click from being re-opened
• Multi-line paste — Paste several lines into the input to add them as separate todos
• Search across cards — Filter the manager by card title or todo text
• 7 card colors — Peach, Lavender, Mint, Sky, Sunny, Rose, Slate
• 6 app themes — Default, Windows, macOS, GitHub Dark, Nord, Dracula
• Global keyboard shortcuts — Show/hide all cards, create new cards, open manager (customizable)
• Multi-monitor support — Cards remember their position across monitors
• System tray — Runs quietly in the background with tray icon controls
• Bilingual — English and Turkish interface
• Auto-start — Optionally launch at Windows startup
• Auto-updater — Checks GitHub releases on launch and applies updates with one click
• Lightweight — ~4 MB installer, minimal memory usage

Usage

Manager Window

The manager window is your central hub for managing all cards. From here you can:

• Create new cards
• Search cards by title or todo text
• Show or hide all cards at once
• Toggle card visibility individually
• Delete cards
• Access settings

Card Windows

Each card is its own frameless window. You can:

• Drag the card by its header area
• Add todos using the input field at the bottom (paste multi-line text to add several at once)
• Edit a todo by double-clicking the text, or using the pencil icon — Enter saves, Esc cancels
• Check off completed items — they move into the collapsible Completed drawer at the bottom
• Undo an accidental delete using the 5-second toast
• Reorder active todos by dragging the handle on the left
• Change the card color via the menu (⋯)
• Pin/unpin to toggle always-on-top mode
• Minimize to collapse the card into a compact title bar (click the minimize icon again to restore)
• Hide to send the card away (reopen from manager or tray)

Keyboard Shortcuts

All shortcuts are global (work even when TodoPin is not focused) and customizable in Settings:

Tech Stack

Architecture

TodoPin uses a multi-window architecture:

• Manager window — Single instance, acts as the control panel
• Card windows — One per card, frameless and independently positioned
• System tray — Always running, provides quick access

State is managed in Rust with thread-safe locking (parking_lot::Mutex) and a background persistence thread that writes to disk every 500ms when changes are detected (dirty flag pattern).
