The best voice to-do list apps for iPhone, compared honestly
We make Clarity, so read this knowing that. We still wrote it the way we would want to read it: what each app is best at, where ours loses, and the prices as they were in the US App Store on 5 November 2026.
Updated
How we compared them
For a voice to-do list one question matters more than the rest: can you say several things in one go and get them back as separate tasks with their dates? After that, the price, where it runs, and whether you can share a list with someone.
We left star ratings out. Several of these apps, ours included, have fewer than 20 ratings in the US store, which says little either way. Facts about other apps come from their own App Store pages, websites and help centers, linked at the bottom.

Clarity: Voice Planner (ours)
Best for the person who says ten things at once, from work and the kids and the house, and wants to see exactly what was saved. You talk or type, all mixed, and it turns what it understood into separate tasks, in your week or in Later, and shows you what it saved, with widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen.
Where it loses: no Android and no web yet, no shared lists, and a young review base. The list, reminders, widgets and talking to Clarity are free, with no end date.
Why we make it: we help people believe in their potential, act on their ideas, and turn what they imagine into reality, toward a world where every mind gets to realize its full potential. The app is where that starts today, with the smallest step: getting what is in your head onto a list you can see.
Todoist with Ramble
Best if you need projects, a team, or every device. Its Ramble feature lets you describe tasks out loud and splits them into several; Todoist's help center says free users get 10 Ramble sessions a month and calls it experimental. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch, plus Android and web, and lets you share projects and assign tasks.
TickTick
Best if you want one app for tasks, calendar and habits. You hold the plus button to dictate, and its help center says that when you say several items, AI splits them into separate tasks, with a monthly quota; its pricing page marks AI features as Premium. On Premium, a list can be shared with up to 29 members.
Apple Reminders with Siri
Best if you add one thing at a time and want it free and shared with your family. Apple's own examples add one reminder per request, like "Remind me tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. to call Tara." It is already on your phone, and shared lists and location reminders work well.
Voice Reminder Planner: Echo
Best if you want voice reminders for free. Its App Store page says: "Say several tasks at once; Echo splits and schedules each correctly." Its website says it syncs both ways with Google Calendar, and its App Store description says it is free with no ads, though the listing still marks it as offering in-app purchases.
TellDone
Best if your tasks already live in Todoist or Things. One recording becomes tasks, calendar events, reminders and notes, and depending on the plan it syncs to the tools you use. The free plan includes 50 notes and 60 minutes of speech a month.
Vozly
Best if you want the cheapest option and one entry per recording. Its own page says it "does not plan or decide anything for you" and "leaves the organizing to you": you hold the mic, speak, and what you said is saved as one entry.
Structured
Best if you think in a timeline. Most features are free; voice works through Structured AI, which is part of Pro and suggests tasks for you to accept. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch, plus Android and web.
