A Task Manager for Creatives Who Hate Task Managers
Your work needs uninterrupted blocks. A planner that demands typed input and category selection every time you have an idea is the wrong tool. Lunelo is the right one.
The problem
Creative work has a particular failure mode with task managers: every capture interrupts the flow that the work depends on. You're sketching a layout, writing a paragraph, designing a sequence — and the unrelated thought "follow up with the client about the headline" arrives uninvited. You open Todoist, navigate to the right project, type the task into the field, set a date in the picker, set a priority from the dropdown, save. By the time you're back to the canvas, the flow state you were borrowing against is gone, and the next ten minutes are spent trying to rebuild it.
Most "creative" task managers solve this with quick-add shortcuts — a keyboard combo, a floating widget, a menu-bar icon. Quick-add is faster, but it still requires typing, still requires categorization, still requires a small linear-thinking effort that lives in the wrong part of your brain. The flow break is shorter than the full-app flow, but it's still real, and over a day of capture it adds up to losing the deepest blocks entirely.
How Lunelo solves it
Lunelo's capture flow is voice-only by default. Tap the watch face or the lock-screen widget, say the thought aloud, release. You don't open the app. You don't navigate to a project. You don't categorize, prioritize, or assign a date. The AI parses the audio into a structured task in the background while you're already returning to the canvas, and the structured task is sitting on the right day by the time you check.
When you come back to the planner — after the work block, not during it — the task is there, structured, on today or whichever day the AI inferred from the way you spoke. You triage in a single pass at the end of the session, accept the parsing, edit the one or two things that need editing. The work block itself stays uninterrupted, and the planning step lives where it belongs: in a deliberate, dedicated five minutes, not scattered across every fifteen-minute interval.
The today view is built around the same mental model. You don't want a list of eighty tasks distracting you during a deep-work block — that's a backlog, and a backlog is the opposite of focus. You want today, top-down. Three things matter; everything else waits its turn. The week view exists for the planning pass; the today view exists for the doing pass; and the doing pass is where you spend the hours that produce the work.
Features built around this
No category selection at capture
AI infers; you triage later if needed.
Today-only default view
Week on swipe.
AI subtask generation
Say 'design 5 hero variations,' get the steps.
Quiet by design
No streaks, no scores, no creative-output gamification.
Compared to other tools
Voicenotes.com is the closest spiritual sibling — voice-first capture with AI organization on top — but Voicenotes is fundamentally a notebook rather than a planner. It doesn't have a today view, doesn't have deadlines that move tasks between days, doesn't roll unfinished work forward. Lunelo captures like Voicenotes and plans like Sunsama: voice in on one end, a calm one-day view on the other end, and the AI work that turns the raw thought into a structured task happening invisibly in between.

Frequently asked
I work in long focus blocks. Will Lunelo interrupt me?
Notifications are off by default. The product opinion is that a planner that pings you mid-flow is failing at its job.
Does Lunelo work with Apple Watch?
Companion watch capture is on the v1.x roadmap. v1 ships iPhone-only.
Can I tag tasks by project (client A, client B)?
Not in v1 by formal tags. You can speak the project name as part of the task ("write the brand brief for Acme"); search finds it later.
Does Lunelo gamify creative output?
No. There is no "creative streak" or "tasks completed this week" badge. The product opinion is that gamifying creative work is what's wrong with most productivity apps.
Will my voice recordings ever be used to train AI?
No. OpenAI and Anthropic's API terms explicitly exclude API inputs from training. Lunelo doesn't store recordings on our servers at all.
