EchoPal – I dare you to find a faster way to manage tasks

Hey HN! I built EchoPal out of sheer frustration with my ADHD-addled brain constantly forgetting tasks. After years of struggling with clunky todo apps, I created a voice-driven, AI-powered solution that actually understands how my scattered thoughts work. Here's my challenge to you: I dare you to find a faster way to jot down and manage your tasks. Seriously, try it. The magic of EchoPal is its ability to capture and organize tasks through natural speech. Just talk, and watch the AI handle the rest - creating tasks, setting reminders, and even prepping emails or Slack messages mentioned in…

    Hi everyone - My cofounder, Reuben, and I have been working on Echo, a voice & text, mobile-first, note-taking app that uses GPT-4o to organize your thoughts and bring them to life. Download here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/echo-ai-notes/id6503351019 How Echo works: 1. Write or record notes. We recommend going for a walk and just rambling. Echo works well with unstructured thoughts. 2. Echo automatically organizes your notes into topics. 3. You can ask Echo questions, and it will use your notes to generate a response. We launched in the App Store on Sep 3.…

    Hi everyone, I’m a solo developer and I’ve been working on a small tool called Echosnap AI. I built it because I often get ideas while I’m walking or doing something else, and speaking always felt like the fastest way to capture them. Echosnap lets you record a note and instantly get a clean transcript. It can also translate your recordings and help you stay organized with tags and folders. I tried to keep the app as simple and minimal as possible. This is my first time sharing something on HN, so any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks for taking a moment to check it out.

    Hi HN! First time posting. I created a tool for my Autistic son who is in high school junior battling severe ADHD symptoms. His difficulties include; 1. Time blindness 2. Lack of executive functioning skills 3. Task initiation issues These three were severely affecting his grades. We had a consultation with a Developmental Psychologist who prescribed Concerta that improves his ability to focus in class. In addition he also has the boilerplate ADHD accommodations(2X time on tests and quiet place to take the test). These collectively improved his test taking abilities. But, when it came to his…

  • Echologue – the private AI voice journal I built for myselfJul 2026 · echologue.com · ▲29

    I have tried journaling many times but nothing stuck. So I decided to make my own app for myself with these features: * Voice first * Private first * AI chat * Automatic tagging, meaning extraction, and semantic retrieval using embeddings stored locally * Export to LLM the AI angle is especially interesting for me. It allows me to ask questions like: * "remind me highlights and crazy nights in the last 3 months" * "How was I feeling during my trip in Spain and how big of a problem was my breakup" * "How would you judge my overall interactions with Marc after I told him about my problems" the…
