Your brain runs a hundred tabs. Recordo closes them. Just talk, and AI turns your brain dump into a to do list, reminders and a plan for today. I built Recordo because I have ADHD and every other planner felt like homework. No setup, no forms. If you can text, you can use it. "Has given me so much of my daily capacity back. Amazing!" - Fiona, App Store review JUST TALK. AI DOES THE REST. - Brain dump by voice, text or photo. Hands-free voice mode keeps listening while you think out loud. - AI turns it into tasks with dates, reminders and checklists, or saves it as a note. - "What was that idea I had last Tuesday?" Ask in plain words and AI finds it. - Share text or images from any app straight into Recordo. - Pick a coach personality: The Pilot breaks tasks into tiny steps, The Buddy is a warm, judgment-free friend who gets it, The Hype turns chores into a game. ONE TASK AT A TIME Tired of staring at a 50-item list? Recordo shows you the one next task. - Momentum Mode gives every task a Plan, a Coach and a focus timer. - The AI Coach breaks big tasks into micro-steps and helps you restart after distractions. - Smart prioritization weighs urgency, so you don't have to decide. - Reminders at the time you choose: 5 minutes, 2 hours before, or right on time. Gentle nudges, not shame spirals. - Home Screen widget: see your next task and capture a thought in one tap. PLAN YOUR DAY - Calendar view for Day, 3 days or Week, with your tasks as time blocks. - Connect Google Calendar to see meetings next to your tasks and get a warning when plans overlap. - Show your Recordo tasks in Apple Calendar or any calendar app with a private link. PROJECTS - Group tasks and notes into color-coded projects, each with an optional goal. - Filter your list by project and keep work, home and side projects apart. - Share a project with your partner or family. Everyone adds and checks off tasks, and everyone gets the reminders. The people you invite join for free. ROUTINES THAT ACTUALLY STICK - Morning and evening routines designed for low dopamine days. - Recurring tasks that roll forward automatically. - Visual progress that makes every small win feel real.

Say it once — get reminded on time. VocaPlan turns what you say into notes, tasks and reminders, in English, Ukrainian and Polish. Type in the bar at the bottom, or tap the mic and talk. Words appear while you speak. Say “remind me to call Anna tomorrow at three” and VocaPlan sets the date, makes it a task and reminds you at 3 pm. One recording becomes one item that shows up where it belongs: in your plan on Home and in the Calendar. REMINDERS THAT RING ON TIME • Understands “in an hour and a half”, “every Monday at 9”, “tomorrow evening” and “every other Friday” • Mark it done, snooze 10 minutes or move it to tomorrow right from the notification • Repeating reminders keep their time; finishing one moves it to the next • A quiet morning digest with the day’s plan, if you want one CAPTURE • Live text while you talk • English is recognized on the iPhone; Ukrainian and Polish by Apple’s speech recognition, online • Optional Whisper models recognize any language right on the iPhone, offline — downloaded once • Start recording from the Action Button or Shortcuts • Unsaved words survive the app closing; a call or Siri pauses the recording and keeps them ORGANIZE • Home shows your plan: pinned, today, later and no date — drag a card to give it a new day • Calendar by day or month — drag a note onto any day • Search by words, tags and the day a note was made • Notes with pins, categories and emoji; tags straight from #hashtags in your speech • Undo after deleting or completing a note • Lite keeps it simple; Pro adds a Board with your own lanes — dropping a card on Done completes it PRIVATE, HONESTLY No account. No server of ours. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your notes stay on your iPhone, and audio is discarded as soon as it becomes text. Ukrainian and Polish are recognized by Apple on its servers, so they need the internet — choose Whisper to keep every word on the device. YOURS • Export your notes as JSON, anytime (photos stay on the iPhone) • Automatic copies of your notes on this iPhone • Three themes — Classic, Pottery and Graphite — in light or dark • No subscription needed to take notes Say it once. It’s sorted.
