Voice and text capture
Say one task or several at once by voice or text. Foley shows what it understood before the tasks are added, reducing the need to manage fields during capture.
Foley
Foley is a voice-first task management app that turns spoken or typed instructions into organized tasks with dates, projects, and other details. It helps individuals and collaborators capture work quickly, plan their day, and access the same list across desktop, web, mobile, and supported watches.
Voice-first task management across your devices
Foley is a voice-first task management app for turning spoken or typed thoughts into organized tasks. It can identify task details such as dates and projects, show the interpreted result for review, and place the work in the appropriate list rather than requiring every field to be entered manually.
The product combines a Daily desk, calendar-oriented day view, projects, lists, planning, task context, and capture history. It runs on Mac, Windows, the web, iPhone, iPad, Android, Apple Watch, and Wear OS, with signed-in devices sharing the same list. Desktop task management is free; AI can use a personal key or Foley-managed hosted AI through Foley Pro.
Core features
Daily desk and day view
Tasks from different projects appear in the Daily desk, while the day view groups overdue, current, and upcoming work so changes can be made without losing sight of the schedule.
Projects and task context
Folders organize related projects, and projects retain associated work and context. Tasks can include notes, attachments, comments, and relationships that explain what is blocking progress.
Clarification and planning
Foley can clarify which task you mean instead of making a potentially incorrect change. Its Plan area can help determine what to work on from the tasks already captured.
Capture history
Capture history keeps the original wording alongside Foley’s interpretation. A user can review the result and undo a capture when needed.
Cross-device access and sharing
The same list is available across desktop, web, mobile, and supported watches when signed in. Foley also supports project sharing, and a documented ChatGPT connection can read or modify synced Foley work according to granted permissions.
Practical use cases
Capture ideas and errands on the go
Speak several errands in one capture, such as shopping or calls, then review the resulting tasks and keep them in a list. This suits quick reminders when typing each item would interrupt the activity.
Organize work across projects
Use projects and folders to separate areas such as clients, work, home, or personal commitments. Notes, attachments, comments, and dependencies keep the surrounding context with the task.
Plan a changing day
Review overdue, today, and upcoming work in the day view, then ask Foley to help plan what to work on first. Changes to times or priorities can be made as plans shift.
Coordinate shared projects
Share a project through a Foley account so collaborators can work from the same tasks and comments instead of reconstructing the project context elsewhere.
Keep tasks available across devices
Use the mobile app or a supported watch to capture a task while away from a desk, answer a clarification question, and return to the same list later on desktop or the web.

How does Foley turn voice input into tasks?

Can Foley be used with other people or ChatGPT?

How does Foley handle ambiguous requests and AI context?
Foley can ask a clarifying question when a request could refer to more than one task, and its Plan area can suggest what to work on from the tasks already on the list. Users can choose Foley-managed AI or bring their own AI key, and can decide which projects AI may use as context.
