Papers can collapse into compact capsules to reduce desktop clutter.	Collapsed capsules automatically dock to screen edges and slide out on hover.

• Paper first — Every paper is an independent window that lives directly on the desktop, with no layered management console to open first.
• Ready immediately — Write when you want, check things off when done; everything saves automatically and the interaction path stays short.
• No unnecessary management — PaperTodo deliberately avoids complex project-management models, reducing the mental overhead of everyday capture.
• Native & lightweight — Built natively with WPF, without a Web wrapper, for fast startup and low resource use.
• Restrained interaction — The UI stays clean and low-distraction: quiet when idle, immediately available when needed.

No unnecessary interaction layers. No unnecessary visual focus.

• Todo Paper: A clean, efficient checklist with drag-and-drop ordering, continuous swipe multi-selection, and smart splitting of multi-line paste; completed items can be cleared automatically or moved to the bottom.
• Note Paper: Lightweight Markdown and visual notes with three levels of real-time rendering, natural editing/reading flow, and support for pasting or dropping local images.

• Collapse & Dock: Click the top-right button or press Ctrl+W to collapse a paper into a compact capsule that automatically docks to a screen edge and frees up desktop space.
