Delegate faster. Follow up less. Base Delegate is built for one relationship: the executive and their assistant. It's a dedicated, private space to communicate, delegate, and track tasks without bouncing between email, texts, and to-do apps. Talk, don't type. Record a voice message to delegate a task, give instructions, or add context. Every recording is automatically transcribed, so your assistant always has a written reference. Everything in threads. Each conversation lives in its own thread: messages, files, photos, voice recordings, and tasks. Threads are automatically named and summarized, so you can scan your list and know where things stand. Tasks that track themselves. Action items from your conversations become trackable tasks. When something gets done, it's recorded in the thread. Both of you get a complete history from request to completion. Completely free. Base Delegate is free for both executives and assistants. No subscriptions, no feature gates, no trial periods. Built for how you actually work. Base Delegate is not a project management tool or a team chat app. It's the direct line between you and your assistant.

Rehearsal® Pro's advantage is ratings volume (66 vs 1) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
