Voice-First Productivity

Stop typing.
Just speak your tasks.

Voice to-do list apps let you capture tasks, notes, diary entries and ideas without typing, in seconds. Useful when a thought needs capturing right now and a keyboard would slow you down.

Your brain moves faster than your thumbs

Phone typing averages about 36 words a minute in a 37,000-person study (Palin et al., 2019); in a 2016 lab study of short messages, speech entry was about three times faster than typing on a phone (Ruan et al.). Voice capture removes the gap between thinking and doing.

⚡

Faster than typing

Capture a full task with its context in the time it takes to unlock your phone and find the right app.

👆

One thumb on the mic

Cooking, walking the dog, waiting in line: capture takes one touch and no typing. It is one touch, not zero, because a recording never starts without a touch (while holding, you can slide the button to the right to lock the recording and tap stop when you are done), but there is no keyboard and no form to fill in.

🧠

Fewer ideas lost

The gap between having an idea and being able to type it is where ideas die. Voice capture closes that gap.

🎯

One app for everything

Tasks, notes, diary, dreams, all captured by voice in one place. No switching apps, no context switching.

Vozly: four types of capture, one voice interaction

Vozly organizes everything around four content types; To-Do and Notes hold your own projects, Diary and Dreams are single streams. Everything is captured the same way: hold the microphone, speak, release.

To-Do List

Speak any task into a project: Work, Personal, Shopping, or any project you create. Deadlines and priorities are set by hand afterwards; the Eisenhower Matrix sorts them.

Note

Capture ideas, meeting notes and thoughts into note projects. The original voice recording is saved alongside the text so you can replay it anytime.

Diary

Record daily reflections by speaking. No blank page, no typing: hold the mic and talk. Your voice becomes a diary entry you can replay.

Dream

Capture dreams the moment you wake up, before they fade. Speak before you have fully opened your eyes.

Common questions

What is a voice to-do list app? ↓
A voice to-do list app lets you create tasks, notes and diary entries by speaking instead of typing. The app uses speech recognition to transcribe your words and saves them into the project you chose. Some apps, like Vozly, cover several content types (tasks, notes, journal, dreams) with the same interaction.
How does Vozly organize my content? ↓
Vozly has an Inbox plus four content types in the bottom bar: To-Do List, Note, Diary and Dream. Within To-Do and Note you create projects (Work, Personal, Shopping); Diary and Dreams are single streams. You pick the tab, hold the microphone and speak; the transcription is saved there with the original audio. There is no search; entries are browsed by date and project.
Is Vozly available on Android or Mac? ↓
Vozly is an iPhone and iPad app (iOS 17.0 or later). There is no Android version and no native Mac app. The App Store does let you install the iPad version on Apple silicon Macs and on Apple Vision Pro, labelled "Designed for iPad, not verified for macOS", so it works there without being designed for those screens.
How is this different from Siri and Reminders? ↓
Siri needs specific command phrases and creates reminders only. Vozly is always in capture mode: hold the mic and speak naturally. It also stores notes, diary entries and dream logs in projects, and keeps the audio. Vozly does not parse dates from speech; you set a due date by hand afterwards, and it then reminds you with a notification at that time.
What languages does Vozly support? ↓
The App Store lists 7 languages: English, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian.
