Like a Book is a task manager that writes your life like a book. Instead of deleting tasks when you check them off — erasing every trace of your effort — it keeps every completed item on the page as a permanent record of your growth. Open the Book of Done anytime and see how far you've come, not just what's left to do. Free and Live demo embedded in the website :)
Most to-do apps treat "done" as "gone." You get a brief dopamine hit, then blankness. Three months later, nothing is left. Like a Book breaks that logic: completed tasks stay on the page forever, collected in your Book of Done — an archive you can revisit anytime, export as a beautifully typeset PDF, or browse by chapter to see exactly how far you've come.

It works the way you think. 📝Hit Enter to write, Tab to indent, Ctrl+Enter to complete. ✨Each checkmark lands with a bounce, a warm glow, and gold confetti. 📑Organize by chapters with continuous book-wide pagination. 🔖Drop color bookmarks on the spine to jump anywhere instantly. 🪟Pin tasks to a cork-board Focus Board and link them with colored ropes And more to find out......
Your data is yours. No accounts, no backend, no tracking. Everything lives in your browser, with JSON, TXT, and Markdown export whenever you want.
I built Like a Book because I was tired of watching my own effort disappear in trash bin. A to-do list tells you what's left undone and erase what's done. A book shows you everything you've already written.
Try the full live demo right in your browser — everything auto-saves locally, no installation needed. The Windows desktop app is free for personal use, ~1.2 MB, and fully offline.
If you give it a spin, I'd love to know: 1, does the book metaphor feel right, or does it break down somewhere? 2, Does the Focus Board help you think, or just look pretty?
3, Is the PDF export something you'd share, or never open?
4, Most of all, does keeping your done work around feel accomplished, or just like clutter?
