Two jars — move clips from left to right as you complete tasks

Task management you can see and feel.

Most to-do apps give
you a list. ClipIt gives
you a proven method.

Based on the Paper Clip Method - a technique used by top performers and featured in Atomic Habits - ClipIt makes task completion feel real, not just a list getting shorter.

Whether you want to get more done at work, build a consistent routine, or stop avoiding the tasks that matter - ClipIt works through habit, not willpower.

The Paper Clip Method.
30 years of real results.

In 1993, a 23-year-old stockbroker named Trent Dyrsmid started each morning with two jars and 120 paper clips. Every completed sales call, one clip moved across. Within 18 months, he was generating $5 million a year for his firm.

"I believe the Paper Clip Strategy works particularly well because it creates a visual trigger that can help motivate you to perform a habit with more consistency."

A cue you can't miss

Most habits fail because we forget to start. A jar of paperclips on your desk - or your phone - is a cue that's always there. ClipIt keeps that cue with you wherever you go.

Progress that compounds

Each clip you move makes the next one easier. Behavioural economists call this the Endowed Progress Effect - the more you've done, the more motivated you become to finish.

A reward that feels earned

There's something genuinely satisfying about dragging a clip across and hearing it drop. It's a small reward - but small rewards, done consistently, are what turn intentions into habits.

Stay on track
without opening the app.

Every time you pick up your phone, your progress is already there. No tapping in. No losing the thread. Just a constant, quiet reminder of what you've done - and what's left.

How ClipIt works.

Two jars. One simple rule. Move the clip when the task is done.

Fill your jar

Drop your tasks in as clips at the start of the day. You can see exactly what you're taking on - nothing forgotten at the bottom of a list.

Do the work

Pick a task and do it. ClipIt sits quietly showing you what's left without nagging you about it. Work through your jar at your own pace.

Move your tasks across

Finish a task, drag the clip across, and hear it drop into the right jar. At the end of the day you can see exactly what you got done, right there in front of you.

Not all tasks are created equal.
Your clips reflect that.

Balance your day across easy, medium, and hard clips - and get the specific satisfaction of completing each one.

Easy

The simple ones

The quick wins. Start here, build momentum, and let the habit carry you through the harder ones. A day that starts well tends to end well.

Medium

The real work

The core of your day. Focused, meaningful work that actually moves things forward - and feels best when it's done.

Hard

The ones you avoid

The ones you keep pushing back. Getting a red clip into the done jar is a different feeling - and the celebration when it lands is worth it.
