Blocitoff is a self-destructing to-do list application using Ruby on Rails. Users add items to to-do lists, and items are automatically deleted after seven days. This self-destructing functionality is designed to keep the list manageable: users must prioritize and complete items or let them go.

- Users can create an account, make their own personal to-do list, and add new items to their list.
- The list will display the number of days until each item is scheduled for automatic deletion.
- Once users complete an item, they can mark it as complete and remove it from the list.
- At the end of each day, items more than 7 days old will be automatically deleted from the list.
