# TaskTicker - Your Personal Productivity Companion Transform any webpage into a productivity dashboard with TaskTicker's unobtrusive scrolling task display. Never lose sight of what matters most while browsing the web. ## What is TaskTicker? TaskTicker is a Chrome extension that displays your tasks as a smooth, scrolling ticker across any webpage. Like a news ticker for your to-do list, it keeps your priorities visible without interrupting your workflow. Whether you're researching, reading articles, or working in web apps, your tasks remain in view, gently reminding you of what needs to be done. ## Why Install TaskTicker? ### Stay Focused Without Context Switching Traditional task managers require you to switch tabs or applications to check your to-do list. This constant context switching breaks concentration and reduces productivity. TaskTicker eliminates this problem by bringing your tasks to you, wherever you are on the web. ### Visual Reminder That Works Our brains respond better to movement and visual cues. The gentle scrolling motion catches your peripheral vision without demanding immediate attention, creating the perfect balance between awareness and focus. It's like having a personal assistant quietly reminding you of your priorities. ### Built for Real Productivity TaskTicker isn't just another task list - it's designed for people who get things done: - **Quick task capture** via popup, context menu, or keyboard shortcuts - **Smart task management** with templates for recurring items - **Progress tracking** through completed task archives - **Team collaboration** with optional API integration ## Key Features That Make a Difference ### 📋 **Smart Task Display** Your tasks scroll smoothly across the top or bottom of any webpage.
