Totem is a collaborative workspace, featuring tasks, notes, and docs, built in Rust and available across desktop, web, and mobile (iOS to start) with seamless syncing and offline merge.

I built this because I think there's a lack of true realtime (CRDT) synced notes that aren't built on a heavy platform that take up 1GB+ RAM (Totem takes up ~100MB, and is also generally more responsive due to the local-first + ops-log approach).

Another thing I care about is keeping the underlying data portable: Totem is built on Markdown and SQLite as its core formats, so you get the convenience of cloud-based syncing without locking your data into a proprietary format.

I’m still looking for beta users/design partners before the initial launch. You can try it without creating an account here:

And the landing page is here:

This is a bit of an unplanned post, so the sandbox template is a bit barebones (empty docs, doesn't feature a properly setup table). Nevertheless, I would love to hear your feedback if you try it out, especially if you use collaborative notes/docs today and have opinions on what they’re missing!
