Vocalist was built for fast task capture using your voice. Simple, right?
But once users started integrating it into their lives, they found creative, unexpected ways to use it beyond just “Add task to Todoist.”
Here are 7 surprising ways real people are using Vocalist—maybe you’ll steal a few ideas 👇
Instead of lying awake thinking about tomorrow’s tasks, users are saying:
“Add ‘Reply to Sarah’s email’ to Work, due tomorrow.” “Add ‘Pack lunch’ to Personal, due in the morning.”
By offloading thoughts with their voice, they’re getting better sleep—and waking up with a ready-made to-do list.
On a walk? Taking a break from screens? One user shared they do their daily planning while pacing:
“Add ‘Review Q2 roadmap’ to Product.” “Add ‘Buy oat milk’ to Groceries, low priority.”
No phone tapping—just speaking while moving.
Forget app-specific shopping tools. People are just saying:
“Add ‘Toilet paper’ to Groceries, due Saturday.” “Add ‘Birthday card for Mom’ to Errands.”
Everything ends up organized in Todoist—without switching apps or tabs.
Some team leads use Vocalist to prep delegation notes between meetings:
“Add ‘Assign blog outline to Jason’ to Content, due Thursday.” “Add ‘Ask Lisa for bug report’ to Engineering.”
Tasks land in the right project with context—ready to follow up or assign.
Recurring daily tasks? Just speak them into existence:
“Add ‘Stretch for 10 minutes’ every morning at 7 AM.” “Add ‘Daily reflection journal’ every night at 9 PM.”
You’re not just building habits—you’re making them visible and trackable.
Before a trip, users are quickly building lists like:
“Add ‘Pack passport’ to Travel.” “Add ‘Book shuttle to airport’ to Travel, due 2 days before flight.”
Everything ends up neatly sorted in Todoist—without having to sit down and think all at once.
One creator said they use Vocalist to log ideas mid-stride:
“Add ‘Make a video about AI productivity tools’ to Ideas.” “Add ‘Write blog on delegation with Todoist’ to Writing.”
Even their content brainstorming is now voice-powered.
You can use Vocalist however it works for you:
The magic is in its simplicity. Speak, and it’s done. No extra screens. No forgotten ideas. Just frictionless capture.
