TellDone for founders

Turn every idea into action

The best idea of your week shows up in the shower, on a run, or in the ninety seconds between two calls. You tell yourself you will remember it. You don't. TellDone lets you say it out loud and walk away. It comes back as tasks, calendar events, reminders, and notes in about ten to thirty seconds. Built for founders who think faster than they type.

Sound familiar?

Running a company means your head is the only place where the whole plan lives. Here is what that costs.

The shower idea you lost by 9 a.m.

The pricing fix arrives mid-shampoo. By the time you are dry and dressed, it is gone. Founders have joked for years that the best ideas come with no way to write them down.

Ten hats, one brain

Investor follow-ups, the product roadmap, a hiring loop, the demo on Thursday, all stacked in your head at once. Cognitive overload erodes decision quality, the one skill a founder cannot afford to lose.

Notes scattered across five apps

A thought in Notes, a task in Slack DM-to-self, a reminder you set and never saw, a napkin in your bag. Nothing is in one place, so nothing actually gets done.

The 2 a.m. brain that won't shut off

You lie awake cycling through tomorrow because writing it down means turning on a screen and waking up fully. So you keep holding it, and you sleep worse.

This is not just you. Founders routinely wear ten or more hats at once, and research from Wharton notes that nearly 40% of founders report a diagnosable mental health condition, with cognitive overload and decision fatigue shortening the horizon they can plan over. (Wharton Magazine)

How TellDone helps

The fix is not another app to organize. It is getting the thought out of your head the instant it lands, in the format it actually needs.

🎙️

Speak an idea between meetings; get back a plan

Talk for fifteen seconds about the partnership you want to chase. TellDone returns a task with a due date, a calendar hold to draft the email, and a note with the details. Sorted, not a wall of text.

→ ten hats, one brain

🚗

Capture on the go, hands and eyes free

Record from the Action Button, Control Center, the Lock Screen, or your Apple Watch (Series 6 and later), with no unlocking and no typing. The idea from the car or the run is saved before you reach the door. Recording works offline and syncs when you reconnect.

→ the shower idea you lost

🔁

Recurring follow-ups and reminders that stick

Say remind me to check in with the lead investor every Monday and it becomes a recurring task. The follow-ups you mean to do but forget now happen on their own schedule.

→ investor and sales follow-ups

🤝

Delegate without retyping

Connect Todoist, Notion, Things 3, Apple Reminders, Apple Calendar, or Google Tasks, and what you say lands where your team already works. Webhooks, email forwarding, and an MCP endpoint route captures into your own systems and AI agents.

→ notes scattered across apps

📈

Daily and weekly reports for momentum

TellDone writes an automatic recap of what you finished, what is open, and what is coming. On a Sunday night you see the week without rebuilding it from memory. (Daily on Basic; daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly on Pro and Ultra.)

→ the 2 a.m. brain

✅

Smart Context closes the loop

Mention something you already finished and the matching task checks itself off, up to three per recording and only when the match is confident. Your list reflects reality without manual upkeep.

→ stale lists nobody trusts

Your words stay your words. The transcript is read-only and never rewritten. The AI reads it to draft tasks and events, but the original recording and its exact text stay intact. Got something wrong? Record a quick follow-up and it updates the existing note, tasks, and events. Tap to edit anything, with no Save button and a quick Undo.

A day with TellDone

One founder, one ordinary Tuesday, talking instead of typing.
