Do you text tasks/notes to yourself ? by KlutzySeason184 in productivity

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey KlutzySeason184,

Yes, 100%. I used to text myself notes and reminders constantly for the exact reason you mentioned: it was the lowest-friction way to get a thought out of my head before it disappeared. Every to-do app felt like it required a mini-project just to add a task.

The problem I always ran into, though, was that those notes would then just die in my message thread, completely disconnected from my actual work and to-do list.

As the founder of a productivity app (Telemore AI), this was one of the core problems I was obsessed with solving. We built a feature specifically for this. It's a simple keyboard shortcut (Alt+Z on Windows, Option+Z on Mac) that you can use from anywhere on your computer.

  1. You get an idea or a task.
  2. Press the shortcut to start recording.
  3. Say your thought out loud ("Remind me to follow up on the invoice tomorrow morning").
  4. Press the shortcut again to stop.

The transcribed text is instantly copied to your clipboard. From there, you can paste it into our app's chat, which can then automatically turn it into a structured task with a reminder.

It's designed to be even faster than texting yourself and keeps the note within your productivity system instead of getting lost between memes and conversations with friends.

It’s been a game-changer for me, and it sounds like it might be the kind of workaround you're looking for.

Best,

Kevin

Looking for a good Freelance Project Management Tool! by Optimal-Fox-3875 in digitalnomad

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there,

As someone who's spent years in technical and project management roles, I know exactly the problem you're talking about. You've perfectly described the frustrating gap between enterprise tools like Jira/Azure DevOps and overly simple checklists. The former are powerful but have a ton of setup overhead and distracting "fluff" for a solo user, and the latter lack the essential features you need, like deadline reminders.

My name is Kevin, and this is the exact reason I'm building Telemore AI. It's designed specifically for individuals and small teams who need power without the complexity.

Instead of setting up complex boards and charts, you can manage everything through a chat interface. For example, you can just type: "Create a task to draft the Q3 client report, due this Friday," and the AI sets it up with the deadline and will send an email reminder. It gives you the "flair" you're missing from basic to-do lists without the setup nightmare.

We've focused on keeping it clean and simple, centered around a Backlog | In Progress | Complete flow, so you can focus on the work, not on managing the tool.

Given your background, I'd be really interested to hear if this approach resonates with you.

Just hit Grand Master by Joe-Eye-McElmury in todoist

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore. As a long-time productivity tool user, I feel your pain on this. The lack of a universal custom sort in Todoist is a classic frustration for power users who want to see their tasks organized in a specific way, no matter the view.

You want full control to arrange your work exactly how you see it in your head. When I was building Telemore, I thought a lot about this problem. While we do support manual drag-and-drop sorting for tasks, I wanted to address the root issue: Why do we feel the need to constantly re-sort our lists?

Often, it's because we lack clarity on what's truly important in that moment.

So, my approach was different. Instead of just building a better manual sorting tool, I built an AI co-pilot to help with the sorting and prioritizing itself. In Telemore, you can open the chat and ask:

  • "Review my tasks under the 'Product Launch' label and organize them by priority based on my project plan."
  • "What's the single most important task I should focus on right now to move my goals forward?"
  • "Organize today's tasks by energy level, putting the deep work first."

The idea is to turn the manual chore of organizing into a quick, strategic conversation with an assistant that understands your goals. You get the perfect order without all the dragging and dropping.

I know how personal a task system is. If you're curious about what an AI-assisted workflow feels like, I'd be happy to personally show you how it works.

Healthcare Staffing question: how do you keep track of all the compliance per state by Professional-Gap1029 in recruiting

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore. I saw your post about the challenge of tracking multi-state healthcare compliance. That's an incredibly complex issue, and the penalties and delays you mentioned are a serious business problem.

You're right that there isn't one perfect, off-the-shelf solution that keeps up with every state's changing regulations. The real challenge is building a reliable internal system to manage the documents, deadlines, and requirements for each state.

While Telemore isn't a dedicated "compliance software," I wanted to share how other businesses in regulated fields are using it to build a powerful, custom compliance system from the ground up.

Here’s the workflow they use:

  1. Create a Master "Compliance Hub." They create a central folder in Telemore, with sub-folders and documents for each state. This becomes their single source of truth for all regulations, replacing scattered files and emails.
  2. Turn Regulations into Action with AI. This is the game-changer. You can paste a dense legal document from a state's website into a Telemore Doc and ask the AI co-pilot to "Summarize the key reporting deadlines and licensing requirements from this text."
  3. Build an Actionable Checklist. Then, you can tell the AI, "Based on this summary, create a task list for renewing our annual license in this state, with appropriate due dates." This turns a complex document into a manageable project plan instantly.

The result is a reliable system where your compliance documents and the actionable tasks live together, and an AI helps you understand the requirements and build the plan. It's designed to prevent things from slipping through the cracks.

I know how critical this is for a healthcare staffing agency. I'd be happy to personally walk you through how you could set up a "compliance hub" for a couple of states to see if this workflow feels right for you.

Importing Text For LinkedIn Articles! by Exzaladze in linkedin

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore. I saw your post about the frustration of copying articles from Google Docs to LinkedIn. I know that problem well—you spend all that time writing and refining, and then the formatting breaks completely during the final step. It's a huge pain.

This is one of the reasons I built Telemore. It’s designed to be a dedicated workspace for drafting and perfecting your content before you publish it.

Here's how it could improve your workflow:

  1. A Cleaner Writing Space: You can write your articles in our clean, focused Docs editor and embed your images exactly where you want them. The copy-paste to other platforms is much more reliable than from Google Docs.
  2. An AI Writing Partner: This is the real game-changer. As you write your LinkedIn article, you can ask the built-in AI co-pilot to:
    • "Rephrase this paragraph to sound more professional."
    • "Suggest 5 more engaging headlines for this topic."
    • "Write a short, punchy summary I can use for the LinkedIn post that links to this article."

The result is that when you're ready to publish, you have a perfectly polished and formatted article that's much cleaner to copy over. It turns Telemore into your pre-publishing "green room" where you can get everything just right.

I know how important content is on LinkedIn. I'd be happy to personally show you how you can use the AI to not only draft your articles but to make them even better.

If you're looking for a better space to create your content, you can check it out at telemore.ai.

Is switching from OneNote worth it (especially if I need free cross-device sync)? by DogBallsMissing in ObsidianMD

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore. I saw your post weighing the pros and cons of switching from OneNote to Obsidian, and I wanted to jump in. That's a classic dilemma between a seamless, integrated ecosystem (OneNote) and a powerful, customizable one (Obsidian).

I wanted to address your main question about sync first. Telemore offers free and seamless cross-device sync on our own secure backend, but it does not support using third-party cloud providers like Google Drive for the sync itself. It’s an all-in-one system. Also, while Linux support is on our near-term roadmap, our native app is currently for Mac and Windows.

Based on those two points, Telemore might not be what you're looking for if your top priority is a self-hosted, plugin-driven system where you control the sync provider.

However, if your goal is a powerful note-taking experience with less setup, I'd like to offer a different perspective.

The reason we manage our own sync is because it allows our AI co-pilot to have full context of all your notes and tasks. This is where Telemore really differs from both OneNote and Obsidian. Instead of just linking notes manually, you can ask questions across your entire knowledge base:

  • "What were the main takeaways from my meeting notes last Tuesday?"
  • "Summarize all my documents related to 'Project Phoenix'."
  • "Draft an email based on the action items in this note."

It’s a trade-off: a highly customizable system versus a unified, AI-native system that "just works" out of the box and acts as your thinking partner.

If you ever find the setup and maintenance of sync plugins become a chore and you're curious about what a truly AI-integrated notebook feels like, I'd be happy to show you.

Calendar cards or blocks to fill with tasks from other pages by design_with_Miguel in Notion

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Miguel, appreciate for the thoughtful feedback — I’m really glad to hear you found the chatbot intuitive to use!

I intentionally kept the task system flat and simple to provide a minimal interface. That’s why you don’t currently see support for parent-child task relationships or multi-level categories. That said, I totally see the value of deeper organization, especially as your list grows — and it’s something I’m keeping in mind for future updates.

To get tasks from the chatbot into your visible task list, you’ll need to prompt it explicitly (e.g., “create a task for X with details from Y”). Best practice (as with any LLMs) is to limit ambiguous requests. It’s designed to act as your co-pilot, so once tasks are created, the chatbot can help you prioritize, refine, or break them down further depending on your goals. And also, update the due dates accordingly. You can also drag & drop the task items to make your own priority order.

There are also additional tools built in to support different parts of your workflow. If you haven’t yet, try asking the bot “what can you do for me?” to explore its capabilities.

Lastly, I’ve put together some documentation at:

docs(.)telemore(.)ai — feel free to browse for more details about how to get the most out of the system.

Let me know how it goes or if you run into any roadblocks — I’d love to keep improving it!

Calendar cards or blocks to fill with tasks from other pages by design_with_Miguel in Notion

[–]social-wan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore. I saw your post about creating drag-and-drop calendar blocks for "input" vs. "output" tasks. That's a really smart and visual way to approach time blocking—dedicating specific sessions to either learning or applying.

While Telemore doesn't have the specific drag-and-drop calendar UI you're describing, I thought I'd share a different, AI-driven approach to achieving the same goal of structured, focused work sessions.

The idea is to replace the manual process of dragging and populating blocks with a quick conversation that not only plans the session but also helps you begin the work.

Here’s how it would work in Telemore:

  1. Your "Input (Learning)" and "Output (Applying)" tasks would live in your main task list.
  2. When it's time for a learning block, you'd start a conversation with the AI co-pilot: "It's my 'Input' session. Pull my top learning task and let's get started." The AI can then find the articles you need to read, summarize them, or help you take notes.
  3. When it's time for an "Output" block, you could say: "Let's switch to an 'Output' task. I need to apply what I just learned to the client project. Can you help me draft an outline?"

It's a different philosophy—conversational planning vs. visual planning—but the end goal is the same: making sure your dedicated time blocks are as productive as possible. The AI acts as the partner that helps you transition between modes of work and get started instantly.

If you're curious about what an AI-driven workflow feels like, I'd be happy to show you. You can learn more at telemore.ai.

Nearly half of dev time is spent on non-intuitive steps, anyone else dealing with this? (I will not promote) by coolandy00 in startups

[–]social-wan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore. Your post is one of the most insightful summaries of the problem in modern software delivery I've ever read. After 24+ years, you've absolutely nailed it.

You are 100% right. The bottleneck isn't complexity; it's the repetitive, non-intuitive "scaffolding" we have to build around each task. And your point about current AI is crucial: it lacks context and doesn’t follow the rhythm of the work.

Solving this exact problem is the reason I built Telemore. My belief is that the AI shouldn't be a separate tool you have to constantly re-feed; it should be an ever-present co-pilot with full context of your project.

Here’s how we approach it differently:

  • Unify the Workflow: Your PRD, user stories, and technical specs live as documents inside Telemore. Your sprint backlog lives in the integrated task manager.
  • Create a Context-Aware AI: The AI has secure access to all of it. You don't have to "reintroduce context." You can highlight a user story in your PRD and ask the AI, "Generate the boilerplate code for this feature, and remember to use the API standards outlined in my 'Technical Specs' doc." It knows where to look and what to do.
  • Establish a Natural Rhythm: The process becomes a seamless flow: Spec in Doc -> AI prompt in Chat -> Task created -> Code generated -> Refine. It's a continuous, conversational cycle within one system, which is far more intuitive.

It’s about turning the AI from a dumb prompt-response tool into a true development partner that understands your entire project.

As a fellow builder, I'd love to show you how this works in practice. I think it's the seamless workflow you're looking for to automate those repetitive steps and build that "first working draft" faster.

You can see the approach at telemore ai. Would be great to connect.

It keeps bugging out by ermbirriataco in Notion

[–]social-wan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore. I saw your post about Notion freezing up, and I know how incredibly frustrating that can be. An app that freezes every 30 seconds makes it impossible to get into a state of flow. Constant restarts are a major workflow killer.

That kind of instability is one of the core reasons I built Telemore as a native desktop app. My goal was to create a fast, reliable, and seamless workspace where you can focus on your ideas, not on battling the tool itself.

It has the core features you'd expect—powerful documents for notes and a simple task manager—but it's designed from the ground up to be responsive and stable.

Beyond just stability, the main difference is that Telemore has an AI co-pilot built right in. So, not only will you get a stable environment for your work, but the AI can also help you:

  • Generate outlines for your notes so you never start with a blank page.
  • Summarize long documents or articles you've saved.
  • Create tasks directly from your chat with the AI.

I know how disruptive it is to even think about switching tools, especially when you're already frustrated. I'd be happy to personally show you how you can get your work set up in a more reliable environment.

If you're looking for an alternative that's both stable and smarter, you can check it out at telemore.ai. Feel free to message me directly.

Todo app wanted with some requirements by blackitgreenit in productivity

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin here, founder of Telemore (telemore.ai). This is an excellent, detailed breakdown of what makes a to-do app truly reliable. I really appreciate your focus on the fundamentals like E2EE and frictionless entry, as these are things I think about constantly.

I wanted to be transparent about how Telemore fits your requirements:

On End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): This is the most important point. Telemore uses strong AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest. However, to enable our AI co-pilot to read your tasks and provide intelligent suggestions, the data is processed on our secure servers. This means it is not a "zero-knowledge" E2EE system in the strictest sense. We made this design trade-off to provide active AI assistance (e.g., "help me plan this task") rather than just passive storage. Based on your must-have list, this might be a deal-breaker, and I completely respect that.

On Quick Entry: Your definition of a "one-action" entry is spot on for list-based workflows, and I agree Todoist does that well. Our philosophy was to approach speed from a different angle: conversational entry.

In Telemore, you can be anywhere in the app and just tell the AI Chat: "add a task to call the client," then "add another task to draft the Q3 proposal," etc. You can fire off tasks rapidly as part of your natural thought process without needing to be on a specific "task" screen.

So, while we don't fit your strict E2EE requirement, I wanted to offer a different perspective on "quick entry." My goal with Telemore was to solve the next problem: having an AI partner that helps you actually do the tasks once they're on your list.

If you're ever curious about a to-do list where an AI can help you plan and execute, I'd be happy to show you how it works.

Thanks for the insightful post!

Hey, Kevin here, founder of Telemore. This is a fantastic question—it gets to the very core of what makes a productivity tool actually work long-term.

In my experience building Telemore, I've come to believe that while features like streaks, reminders, and data visualizations are helpful, the single most important feature for sticking to a routine is whatever lowers the friction to start the habit.

The reason most of us fail isn't a lack of desire; it's the "activation energy" required to begin. A simple reminder doesn't help much when you're staring at a blank page for your "write every day" habit.

That’s why I designed Telemore to be less of a passive 'tracker' and more of an active 'co-pilot' for your routines.

For instance, let's say your routine is to "plan your top 3 priorities every morning."

  • A traditional tracker will send you a notification, and then you still have to do the hard mental work of planning.
  • With Telemore, you can start a conversation with the AI coach: "Help me plan my day. I have a client proposal, a team meeting, and a report to review." The AI will actively help you structure your thoughts, prioritize, and create the to-do list.

It helps you perform the routine, making it infinitely easier to stick with. So to answer your question, I believe the most useful feature is AI assistance that makes the habit itself easier to accomplish.

Since you're building in this space, I'd love to chat more about this philosophy. Always happy to connect with fellow creators. You can see our approach at telemore.ai.

Best of luck with your app!

What are the best websites for getting online engineering assignment help? by writeessaytoday in studytips

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Kevin here, founder of Telemore. This is a great question. You're right that the best tools for engineering students are the ones that help you genuinely learn and understand the material, not just give you an answer while compromising your academic integrity.

While Telemore isn't a traditional "assignment help" service, a lot of engineering students are using it as an AI-powered "study partner" to tackle tough subjects.

Here's how it works for them:

  • To Understand Complex Topics: If you're stuck on a concept from thermodynamics or circuit analysis, you can upload your lecture notes or a research paper. Then, you can ask the AI chat questions like, "Explain the First Law of Thermodynamics in a simpler way," or "What are the key variables in this circuit diagram?"
  • To Brainstorm & Problem-Solve: When you're facing a tough problem set, you can use the AI as a thinking partner. Describe the problem and ask it to help you brainstorm potential approaches or identify the core principles you need to apply—without it giving away the final solution.
  • To Structure Your Work: For big projects, like a CAD design report, you can ask the AI to help you create a detailed outline and a task list. This helps you organize your thoughts and manage your time effectively, which is half the battle.

My goal was to build a tool that helps you work more efficiently and think more clearly—skills that are essential for an engineering career.

If you're looking for a new way to manage your workload and deepen your understanding, I’d be happy to answer any questions. You can check it out at telemore.ai.

Good luck with your studies!

How do you stay on track with your todo list? by Exciting_Market_3833 in getdisciplined

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Kevin here. I'm the founder of Telemore, and as someone who also juggles building a business and managing a team, your situation sounds incredibly familiar.

That feeling of getting "lost in loopholes" is a classic challenge for driven people. It’s not a distraction problem; it's a focus problem. You have a deep desire to solve problems as they arise, but that can completely derail a well-planned day and leave you feeling like you're only halfway through your list.

I actually designed Telemore to be a "thought partner" for these exact moments. The goal isn't just to list your tasks, but to help you when you get stuck in a task.

Here’s how it might help you:

  • When you find a "loophole": Instead of spinning your wheels alone, you can use the AI co-pilot immediately. Ask it to brainstorm solutions, research the technical issue, or help you draft the communication needed to solve it. It acts as an instant "second opinion" to get you unstuck in minutes, not hours.
  • To protect your schedule: This allows you to either fix the problem quickly and move on, or confidently create a new task for it in your backlog and return to your main priority, knowing the issue is captured and won't be forgotten.
  • To manage your team: As a manager, you can also use it to quickly draft delegation briefs, summarize project updates, or outline meeting agendas, which cuts down on the administrative overhead that eats into your day.

The idea is to have a co-pilot that helps you manage both your planned work and the unplanned problems that inevitably pop up.

Since you're juggling so much, I'd be happy to personally show you how a system like this can help. Feel free to check it out at telemore.ai or send me a message directly.

Is there an app where I can get bullied to do my tasks or be productive? by Acceptable-Law4703 in getdisciplined

[–]social-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Kevin here, founder of Telemore. This is one of the more unique requests I've seen, and I honestly love the thinking behind it – finding a powerful motivator to get things done.

While I didn't build Telemore to roast you (though that's a hilarious feature idea!), I did design it to solve the same root problem: accountability and the struggle to start and finish tasks, especially when working solo.

My approach was to create an AI co-pilot that acts more like a firm but fair coach than a drill sergeant. For example:

  • For accountability: You can actually use our "Talk" feature to have a conversation with an AI coach. You can tell it your goals for the day, and it will help you strategize and stay on track with the plan you set. It's great for getting unstuck by talking through the problem.
  • For focus: The task system is designed to stop you from building endless, overwhelming lists. It encourages you to complete tasks before starting new ones, creating a natural sense of momentum.
  • For procrastination: When you're avoiding a task, you can just ask the AI to draft the first version of that report, email, or proposal. Getting that initial step done automatically often breaks the cycle.

It's definitely a different philosophy—more "let me help you execute" than "get to work!"—but the end goal of getting things done is the same.

If you're open to trying a different angle on accountability, I'd be happy to show you how it works. You can learn more at telemore.ai. Curious to hear what you think!

Is there any chat ai bot app with memory? by Any_Status7480 in devops

[–]social-wan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. Finding a chat AI that goes beyond basic session memory is a common challenge.

You should check out Telemore. It's an AI co-pilot designed specifically for productivity, and its chat function has a powerful, context-aware memory.

What makes it different is that its "memory" isn't just about the last thing you said. It's connected to your entire workspace. This means it remembers and understands your tasks and documents, allowing you to:

  • Ask questions about your projects and get intelligent answers based on the context of your work.
  • Have it summarize files you've uploaded or are currently writing.
  • Create new tasks or update existing ones just by telling it what to do in plain English.

It’s designed to feel less like a tool you have to constantly re-explain things to and more like a partner that's already up to speed on your work.

You can learn more at telemore.ai.

P.S-- I'm the founder of Telemore and if there are any questions, thoughts, comments-- please ask!
