Awakening Note

The best to-do apps for developers on Mac

Developers tend to want three things in a to-do app: native (not Electron), keyboard-first, and private. Things 3 and a few native apps fit; many popular tools are Electron web wrappers that feel heavy.

Awakening Note is native SwiftUI with a global hotkey and zero telemetry — fully offline, one license call and nothing else. And it adds a reward loop so shipping the boring ticket levels you up.

For a fast, private, keyboard-driven task tool that is not a browser in disguise, it is built for developers.
