# Tray List

A simple list app that resides in your system tray icon. 

## Description

I made it so I can look over my daily tasks for work. It's not pretty and is very basic. It's written with Python 3.11 and tkinter.



## How to use

- Just unzip somewhere and and run the **TrayList.exe** to open the app. 

- To start with windows, you can create a task scheduler event for the app, or create a shortcut of TrayList.exe and move that to the startup folder of windows. It is usually in **C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup**

- The app will now run in your tray, to open click on it.

- Whenever you type something in the list, it is saved instantly. To create new entries, press the Return/Enter key.

## C++ Version

A C++ version is in the works in a different branch called **C++**. It's a work in progress.

## How to build

1. Install python 3 and above.

2. Run the build.bat as administrator (admin permission is optional but preferred)

## Changelog
