WakeNotes is the first product from Astoic, and it reflects everything we believe software should be: useful, respectful of your data, and free of unnecessary complexity.

What is WakeNotes?

WakeNotes is a markdown note-taking application designed for people who want to capture ideas quickly without fighting their tools. It combines powerful search, simple task tracking, and calendar-synced notes in one focused interface.

Key Features

Markdown Editor

Write in markdown with live preview. No learning curve if you’re already familiar with the format, and easy to pick up if you’re not. Your notes are stored as plain text files, readable anywhere.

Task Tracking

Keep track of what needs to get done with simple, built-in task lists. Check off completed items, prioritize what matters, and stay organized without the overhead of a full project management tool. Perfect for daily to-dos and lightweight task management right alongside your notes.

Calendar View

Your notes are synced with a calendar, letting you visualize what you wrote and when. Jump back to notes from a specific day, see your note-taking patterns over time, and never lose track of when you captured an important thought.

Templates

Don’t start from scratch every time. Create reusable templates for meeting notes, daily journals, project logs, or any recurring format you use. Templates make consistent note-taking effortless and save you from repetitive formatting.

Effortless Search

This is the heart of WakeNotes. Search through your notes like you’d search Google — fast, intuitive, and accurate. Your notes become a digital brain you can query instantly. Whether you’re looking for a single sentence from months ago or browsing by topic, the search experience is designed to feel natural and immediate.

Progressive Web App (PWA)

WakeNotes is a web-based PWA that works in any browser on any device. PWAs can be installed like native apps - add to your home screen on mobile or desktop for quick access. This makes WakeNotes available everywhere without app store downloads.

GitHub Syncing

This is where WakeNotes differs from most note apps. Sync your notes to a GitHub repository for free. Your notes become version-controlled, backed up, and accessible from any device - use the same notebook from your phone to your computer. No proprietary sync service, no monthly fees for the sync feature.

No Account Required

Start using WakeNotes immediately. No account is required - uses your browser cache to store data. When you’re ready to sync, connect your GitHub account. Until then, your notes stay local.

Why We Built It

Most note-taking apps fall into two categories: simple but limited, or powerful but bloated. Many charge recurring fees for basic sync functionality, locking your notes into their ecosystem.

We wanted something different:

• A focused tool that does a few things well
• Sync that doesn’t cost extra
• Data that stays portable and yours

WakeNotes is the result.
