Awakening Note

A keyboard-first, offline to-do app built for developers

No Electron, no account, no telemetry. Awakening Note is a native SwiftUI task manager with a global hotkey — and an optional RPG layer that turns shipping tasks into leveling up.

Developers do not want another web app pretending to be desktop software. Awakening Note is native SwiftUI for Apple Silicon and Intel, with a borderless quick-add panel you trigger from any app via a global shortcut.

Privacy is the default: storage is fully local, there is no analytics or telemetry, and the only network request is license validation. Your task list is yours.

The RPG layer is the fun part — finishing tasks grants EXP and levels a character with stats and skills. Ship the boring ticket, watch the bar fill. You can disable it entirely if you just want a fast list.
