I think the app would look a lot nicer if the list were a bit more tightly packed. Currently it feels weird compared to almost every other menu bar app.

Hey @electr1fy0, thanks for the feedback. Could you be more specific in which sense you think it could be more compact? Are you referring to the information being less spaced out or the "window" being smaller? Please attach an image if you think it will help illustrate the change.

Design Suggestions

  1. I feel we don't need to show all the information about a task in the Menu Bar app itself. If one seeks extra info, they might as well open the Reminders app.
  2. "Upcoming Reminders" text can just be removed and current selections like "Today", "This Week", etc. be put on the left.
  3. Not sure about the coloured drop down arrow button. I think it should just blend with the rest of the UI. Could be just me?
  4. No need of showing due date when Today is selected.
  5. Window size should just scale according to the number of tasks in the page. I only need to see the Today page, for example, and I have half of my window empty currently: image

Something like this would be great:
