The Mac to-do app that actually gets you to finish things.
A native macOS task manager built for focus — global hotkey, voice commands, fully offline. With an optional RPG layer that turns finishing tasks into leveling up.
The Problem
You don't need another to-do app.
You need one that doesn't cost monthly, doesn't live in someone else's cloud, and doesn't make finishing tasks feel like nothing happened.
Your to-do list keeps growing.
47 tasks in your notes app. You haven't opened it in a week. You feel guilty every time you do.
You're tired of subscriptions.
Multiple monthly bills just to write down what you need to do. Productivity shouldn't bleed your wallet monthly.
Your tasks live on someone else's server.
Every task you write gets synced, indexed, analyzed. You don't know who reads it. You don't know if it'll be there next year.
Finishing tasks feels like nothing.
You check the box. It disappears. Nothing happens. No reward, no closure, no momentum. You're running on willpower alone.

Truly Native macOS
Built with SwiftUI for Apple Silicon and Intel. Global keyboard shortcut, on-device voice recognition, menu bar ready.

See It In Action
Watch how it actually works.
Take the Awakening Test
Answer a few questions and get assigned your class — Warrior, Mage, or Healer — with unique base stats.
Open Your Status Window
Check your stats, skills, and character progression anytime — with a hotkey or your voice.
Complete Tasks & Level Up
Finish your tasks, watch your EXP bar fill up, and level up to distribute stat points.
Capture Ideas Without Switching Apps
Hit ⌃⌥N while in any app — browser, Notion, Slack, wherever. A floating Quick Add panel appears over everything. Type your task, press Enter, and it's in your list. Press Esc and you're straight back to what you were doing.
Open the Status Window — Hands Free
Just say "Status Open" out loud. The app listens on-device (your audio never leaves your Mac) and pops the status window the moment it hears you. Great for when your hands are busy — coffee, keyboard, anything.
