Getting Started
Install the beta and learn the handful of keys that drive everything.
Install
Grab the dmg from the download page and drag Dondori.app into Applications. Builds are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized, so macOS opens them without warnings.
First run
- Dondori is a menu-bar app — no Dock icon. Look for the counter in the menu bar.
- Press ⌥Space to summon the panel on Today. Press Esc (or the hotkey again) to dismiss it.
- Type into the add field and hit ⏎ — tokens like «tomorrow», «at 15:00»,
#label,p1become chips as you type. Works in English and Russian. - The panel floats above every app, full-screen ones included, and never steals focus until you start typing into it.
- Open Settings with ⌘, to configure hotkeys, integrations, sync, and encryption.
