The Key Difference
Todoist Ramble is voice input for Todoist. TellDone is a voice-first planning system. Ramble creates tasks in one app; TellDone creates tasks, events, notes, and reports across all of them. If Todoist is the only tool you use, Ramble does the job. If your day also runs through Calendar, Notion, and Reminders, TellDone ties it together.
