TellDone vs Todoist
One manages tasks. The other creates them from your voice.
TellDone isn't here to replace Todoist. It feeds it. Speak into TellDone, and your task shows up in Todoist with the right project, priority, and due date already set. For most people the answer is TellDone and Todoist, not one or the other.
