Awakening Note

A Microsoft To Do alternative with no account and no cloud

Microsoft To Do ties your tasks to a Microsoft account and the cloud. Awakening Note is a native Mac app that stays fully offline — and makes finishing rewarding.

If you do not want your to-dos inside a Microsoft account, Awakening Note keeps everything local with no sign-in at all.

It is native SwiftUI with a global hotkey and on-device voice, and a one-time price instead of being part of a larger subscription ecosystem.

Finishing tasks grants EXP and levels a character, adding a motivation loop most basic to-do apps skip.
