PaperTodo
About PaperTodo
PaperTodo is a minimalist sticky note tool for Windows desktops. It places independent note sheets directly on the desktop without a main window or account system. The tool supports two types of notes: to-do lists with checkable items and markdown-enabled text notes.
Built with WPF, PaperTodo avoids web-based interfaces or complex permission systems. Notes automatically save their position, size, and content. The design emphasizes minimal interaction paths and low cognitive load, focusing on quick note-taking without management features like categorization or syncing.
