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 a clean markdown editor with kanban boards for task management, all 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.

Kanban Boards

Organize tasks visually. Drag cards between columns, track progress on projects, and keep everything in one place. The kanban view is built into the same app as your notes, so context switching is minimal.

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.

Security & Privacy

Your notes are protected with end-to-end encryption for all creation and updates. This means your data is scrambled and can only be read by you, ensuring complete privacy and security.

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.
