Paper

A To Do App Free From Unwanted Bells and Whistles

Have you ever tried one of those fancy To Do List applications, only to find yourself hopelessly lost in a maze of settings, unwanted features, and a busy-busy interface that overwhelmed your already-overwhelmed brain? If this describes you, I'd like to introduce you to my little friend -- Paper!

When you launch Paper, you get a big text field and NOTHING ELSE. Nothing to figure out. No complex commands to write down on a sticky note. Just a big text box that literally begs you to start filling it with tasks, projects, and notes. It hearkens back to a gentler time when we used pen and paper to keep track of our lives -- now, with Paper, you can have that magical experience again, only this time coupled with the efficiency and power of a computer!

If you need a computer to specifically tell you about important dates and deadlines, and pop up annoying boxes alerting you to everything under the sun, then Paper is not for you. But if you have the brains to make a note to yourself that something needs doing at a certain date and time, and just need a way to keep that info stored somewhere for your reference, then look no further than this wonderful little app! Best of all, Paper stores all of your lists as plain text files, meaning you can open them using any text editor and use them in other applications!
