Most to-do apps gave you a second job. You open them to add one task — and suddenly you're choosing folders, setting priorities, adding tags, picking colors for labels, and configuring weekly reviews. By the time you're done "organizing," you've forgotten what you wanted to do. Paper is different. Add a task. Cross it off. That's it. No folders. No tags. No dashboards. No "productivity systems." Just the satisfying feeling of crossing something off — exactly like pen on paper. THREE LISTS, ONE FOCUS - Today — what needs to get done right now - Scheduled — plan ahead with dates - Someday — capture ideas without pressure PAPER PRO - Home screen widgets — see your tasks without opening the app - Time estimation — know how long your day will actually take - All themes and 10 accent colors — make it yours - More features coming soon Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
