It has been over 6 years since I first released Paperless<\/a> on the App Store. It started off as an experiment, a simple list app mostly built for my own use, though it turned out that a lot of people besides me also found the app useful. Over time, hundreds of thousands of people have relied on Paperless to help them stay organized and keep track of all sorts of things. Some people have said it\u2019s the most used app on their iPhone.<\/p>\n

In addition, Paperless received high marks when reviewed by Macworld, AppShopper and others, as well as being included in Wired Magazine\u2019s \u201cWired App Guide\u201d in 2013 and promoted by Dropbox in an email to their many subscribers.<\/p>\n

However, Paperless was the first computer program I made*, and I knew that it could be better. Over the years I\u2019ve learned quite a bit about what people need and want in an app to help them organize their lives – but some of those things wouldn\u2019t have fit within the existing structure of Paperless. So, a couple of years ago I started working on building a better solution.<\/p>\n

Introducing Ikiru<\/h3>\n

Soon I’ll be releasing a brand new list app named “Ikiru” (ee-kee-roo)<\/strong> that borrows the best ideas from Paperless, further simplifies and refines them, and adds some big new features that people have been requesting for a long time.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Ikiru is now available<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this new app you\u2019ll be able to:<\/h3>\n
