Awakening Note

Things 3, but finishing tasks levels you up

Things 3 is beautiful and calm. Awakening Note keeps the native-Mac quality but adds a reward loop: every finished task grants EXP and levels a character.

Things 3 set the bar for elegant native task management. Awakening Note shares that native-first philosophy — SwiftUI, fast, offline — and adds the one thing pure elegance does not give: a reward for finishing.

Complete a task and you earn EXP, raise stats, and climb ranks. For people who need motivation, not just organization, that loop is the difference between a tidy list and actually doing the work.

It is a one-time purchase with on-device voice capture and a global hotkey, and the RPG layer is optional if you prefer the calm, plain view.
