Scythe
Scythe is a voice-first AI task manager that allows users to capture tasks by speaking naturally. The app transcribes voice notes with high accuracy and leverages an AI planner to reschedule, reprioritize, or build out a daily plan using plain-language commands. Gamified streaks and rewards encourage consistent use, while features like sortable time blocking and unified notes-to-task conversion streamline organization. Additionally, users can snap photos of whiteboards or to-do lists and let the AI extract actionable tasks. Core functionality is free and includes tasks, stats, blocks, rewards, reminders, and themes. Advanced AI features—such as AI chat that edits any part of the app, image-to-task conversion, web and YouTube search, and super-accurate voice transcription—are available through one-time credit packs ($4.99 for 25 non-expiring credits) or Pro subscriptions ($69.99/year or $9.99/month). AI messages are capped at 75 per day to prevent abuse, though typical usage is around 10 per day. Scythe runs on iOS and Android, with no desktop or web version mentioned at this time.
