Fennec
say it once, forget about it.
Fennec is a voice to-do list app for iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac. Hold a button and brain-dump everything on your mind — Fennec listens, splits it into tasks, and files them into the right lists with dates.
free to try · iOS 17+, watchOS, macOS
how it works
Hold the mic and ramble. Groceries, work, chores — say it all in one breath, in any order. Apple's speech-recognition service turns it into text; depending on your device and settings, Apple may process speech on-device or on its servers.
Each thought becomes a suggested task with the right list and due date. Nothing is added to your task list until you look it over and say "looks good."
Capture on your Watch, review on your iPhone, brain-dump from your Mac with ⌘⇧F. Your Fennec account keeps every device in step.
An optional morning nudge with today's tasks, and an evening recap. You pick the times — or turn them off entirely.
Didn't finish? Move what's left to tomorrow in one tap. No guilt.
Optional sync to Apple Calendar. Off until you switch it on.
one thought, three screens
the honest answers
You talk — a messy brain-dump, out loud. Apple's speech-recognition service turns it into text, then Fennec pulls out the actual tasks, guesses the right list and due date, and shows you the result. No suggested task is added to your list until you confirm it.
Fennec never saves an audio file. Apple's speech recognition may process speech on your device or on Apple's servers; Fennec receives and sends onward only the resulting text. See the privacy policy for details.
No suggested task is added to your list automatically. Every extracted task is shown to you first, and you confirm the list before it is added. You can edit or throw away anything you don't want.
Yes. Dictate a task straight from your wrist and it travels to your iPhone, where Fennec sorts it into your lists like any other message.
Yes. Fennec lives in the Mac menu bar, and ⌘⇧F opens a brain-dump bar on top of whatever you're doing.
If you turn it on, yes. Tasks with a specific time become timed events; tasks with only a date become all-day events. Calendar sync is off by default and set per account.
Fennec is free to try. Fennec Pro is an optional subscription billed through your App Store account — the terms cover how billing and cancellation work.
Fennec was built for exactly that kind of cluttered, racing-thoughts moment: talk it out and let the app do the sorting, with no typing or tidying first. It's a productivity app, not a medical one.
