About
Chitroll turns your to-do list into a real sheet of paper that lives on your desktop. You type tasks straight onto the sheet, one line at a time, as plain text or a checkbox. Slide the cutter across the rail to seal the sheet, then grab it and tear it off in any direction, with a satisfying paper-tearing sound. A fresh sheet grows right back.
Every torn sheet is pinned together like paper receipts, so you can flip back through what you have done, each with its length and tear-off time. Tasks carried over show how many days they have been delayed. There is no Dock icon and no distraction: the little machine sits quietly on your desktop in a transparent, borderless window. Chitroll is a $1.99 one-time purchase with no account, no tracking and no cloud, and everything stays on your Mac.

Curator's Note
“Deliberately tiny and tactile: it is a to-do list you finish by tearing it off, not a task manager you have to maintain.”
