Duly

Key facts: Duly launched on Product Hunt on October 22, 2026, built by an 18-year-old indie developer from Istanbul, and was updated on November 7. Press the orb and talk, or type: one ramble becomes a reminder, three grocery entries, a show to watch, an expense and an idea, each in its place. Every idea gets a sketch: a summary, where it could go, first steps and what is worth figuring out. You do not have to open the app: the Action Button, Control Center, the Lock Screen and Siri all start a ramble, and it keeps recording with the phone locked. It is on iPhone and iPad.

Plans: Free to use every day, with a daily limit. Duly Pro adds more daily use, iCloud Sync and shared lists, with a free week to try it. Pro is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year.

Best for: People whose thoughts arrive faster than their to-do list. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a shared team workspace rather than a personal organizer.

Watch out for
