Ikiru has purpose.
The word “ikiru” (ee-kee-roo) means “to live” in Japanese. It’s also the title of an Akira Kurosawa film about a man who decides to do something meaningful with his life.
Ikiru (the app) is my attempt at doing something meaningful with my life, and hopefully help others live meaningful and productive lives.
Ikiru has history.
In 2010 I released a list-making app called “Paperless“. From busy moms and dads to airplane pilots to people who needed a little help remembering things after suffering a brain injury, Paperless has been used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
Ikiru is built upon that legacy – incorporating the best ideas from Paperless, greatly improving upon them, and adding big features that people have requested.
You can read more about why I built Ikiru in “Building a Better List App“.
