Installation

Requirements

  • Python 3.14+
  • macOS, Linux, or Windows

Install with uv

The project is managed with uv.

uv sync

Run

uv run task-stack

The app starts in the menu bar / system tray. The stack window stays hidden until you press the hotkey or pick Open Stack from the tray menu.

macOS

Tk-enabled Python

Tk-enabled Python is required on macOS. The recommended interpreter is Homebrew's python@3.14 plus python-tk@3.14:

brew install python-tk@3.14

uv-managed standalone Python builds do not currently ship a working Tcl/Tk. If you must use one, install tcl-tk and the app will attempt to discover it automatically.

If you bumped Python or just installed python-tk@3.14, recreate the venv:

rm -rf .venv && uv venv --python /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.14 && uv sync

Permissions

The global hotkey listener needs both Accessibility and Input Monitoring access. The app prompts for these on first launch and opens the relevant System Settings pane if you previously denied. Permissions are tied to the interpreter binary (e.g. /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.14/bin/python3.14), not to "task-stack".

After granting access, quit and relaunch.
