Owlistic is an open-source real-time note-taking and task management application that combines a WYSIWYG editor with structured notebooks and inline todos. It provides synchronized collaboration and role-based access control for teams and individuals.

Key Features

  • Real-time sync for notes and tasks, enabling instantaneous updates across clients
  • Notebook/notes tree for hierarchical organization
  • Rich WYSIWYG editor with inline todo items and Markdown import
  • JWT-based authentication and role-based access control for multi-user environments
  • Trash (soft-delete) support and dark/light UI themes
  • Cross-platform client implemented with Dart/Flutter and a backend in Go
  • Container-friendly deployment with Docker artifacts

Use Cases

  • Personal knowledge base and note organization with hierarchical notebooks
  • Team note-taking and collaborative task lists with access controls and real-time updates
  • Managing project todos and meeting notes with inline tasks and import/export of Markdown content

Limitations and Considerations

  • The project is under active development and may contain bugs or breaking changes; APIs and storage schemas can evolve
  • Production readiness depends on deployment choices and configuration; additional hardening and backup strategies may be needed for critical use

Owlistic is suited for users who want a self-hostable, real-time notes and todo solution with collaborative features. It pairs a Flutter client with a Go backend and is oriented toward teams that require access controls and instant sync.
