The 20-second tour
Watch it slide, tick and toss.
Recorded in the real app. Tossing a finished note gets a little confetti.
Sound familiar?
Small tasks shouldn’t need a big app.
Your list is behind three windows.
You wrote it down. Now you have to go and find it again.
An app opened just to tick one box.
Switch apps, find the list, tick, switch back. Every single time.
A paper sticky on the monitor.
It works until it falls off, or you need it on the other screen.
Lists that never end.
A to-do app keeps everything forever, so nothing ever feels done.
How it works
Three moves. That’s it.
- 1
Paste a few lines
Type or paste your tasks and press Return. Bullets, numbers and empty lines are cleaned up for you.
- 2
Tick from the edge
Every note is a colored tab on the right edge of your screen. Hover to slide it out and tick tasks without leaving what you are doing.
- 3
Toss it when done
When every task is ticked, throw the note away. Changed your mind? Undo brings it back, and History keeps finished notes for 30 days.
On the edge
Hover a tab. Tick. Done.
Every note is a colored tab on the right edge of your screen. Rest the pointer on one and the note slides out over whatever you are doing. Tick a task, move away, and it tucks itself back in.
Paste to start
A checklist from whatever you copied.
Paste lines from a chat, an email or meeting notes and press Return. Bullets, numbers and empty lines are cleaned up for you, and the note lands on the edge right away.
Light or dark
Paper stays paper.
The window follows your Mac in light or dark mode. The notes keep their paper colors, so they always read like the real thing.
