High Priority: Menubar iCal ToDo management

highpriority_iconHigh Priority is a System Preferences Add-on that allows you to create, edit and delete iCal ToDos directly from the menubar without the need to have iCal open.

The System Preference pane contains options which allow you to sort the ToDos by Calendar, Due Date, Priority, Status or Title and to toggle the display of priority icons:

highpriority_main

An Advanced tabs offers more options for the display of your ToDos, including a choice of menubar icons and option to display ToDos in calendar colours.

Another tab allows you to set hotkeys for various actions.

Clicking on the menubar icon displays your ToDos (in this case sorted by Calendar):

highpriority_menu

Command-Clicking on a ToDo opens a dialog for editing every field of the ToDo including the notes, or marking it as completed.

You can use it as freeware, but the unregistered version is unable to create new ToDos.

High Priority is shareware (USD 6) and is available from the developer’s web site.

UPDATE: Version 1.01.0 released on 14 January 2006 adds further refinements. High Priority now respects the visibility of iCal calendars, has improved Calendar parsing and error handling and better optimization.
