StoweA disclosure first: I build Stowe. This page names where Voiset is the better pick, plainly, because a comparison that always ends “buy mine” is an ad. Facts about Voiset come from its own website and store listing as of August 17, 2026; where its site does not say something, the table says “not stated” rather than guessing. Both apps have free ways to try them — verify against the apps themselves.
What is each app?
Stowe is a voice-first daily planner for iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch: you say what is on your mind, on-device AI sorts it into tasks, routines and things, and today holds 3–5 doable things. No account, works offline, free with an optional Pro subscription. (What is Stowe?)
Voiset. Voiset describes itself as an "AI day planner for work and life": a web app with iOS and Android apps, a voice assistant that turns words into tasks and notes, and integrations with Google Calendar, Outlook, Microsoft 365 and Zoom.
Stowe vs Voiset, side by side
| Stowe | Voiset | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A short daily plan (3–5 things) plus a journal — deliberately not projects, timelines or teams. | An AI day planner and task manager for individuals and teams: scheduling, notes, workspaces, calendar and meeting integrations. |
| Voice capture | Voice-first: tap the mic and say everything in one go; on-device AI splits it into tasks, routines and things with dates. Typing works too. | Yes — a voice assistant that "instantly turns your words into tasks and notes". Voice minutes are metered per plan (per its pricing page, 30 to 240 minutes a month depending on tier). |
| Where the AI runs | On-device (Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones). Nothing you say leaves the device. | Cloud. It analyzes workload and priorities on its servers and connects to external calendars; on-device processing is not offered. |
| Account required | None. No sign-up, no login; data lives on your devices and in your private iCloud. | Yes — you sign up and log in. |
| Works offline | Fully — capture, transcription, structuring and the journal all work in airplane mode. | Not stated on its site as of August 2026; the product is web- and sync-centred. |
| Price model | Free (capture, the daily plan, nudges, widgets, streaks, 7 days of journal). Optional Pro subscription, monthly or annual, 7-day trial; price shown per territory in the App Store. | Free trial, then subscription tiers (its pricing page lists Base, Advanced and Premium, priced in euros per month, with annual discounts). |
| Platforms | iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch. Apple-only. | Web, iOS, Android. |
| ADHD framing | Built for overwhelmed brains, ADHD included: one thing at a time, 3–5 things a day, no red overdue lists, streaks that bend. A planning tool, not a medical product. | Has an "ADHD-friendly planning" section — "for minds that move fast and forget even faster" — and suggests breaking tasks into 5–15 minute subtasks. |

When to pick Voiset
Pick Voiset if you plan across devices that are not Apple's, if your day lives in Google or Outlook calendars and Zoom meetings, or if you want a planner that a small team can share. It is a broader tool than Stowe — workspaces, booking, integrations — and its voice input is a feature of that larger system rather than the whole point.
When to pick Stowe
Pick Stowe if the mess starts in your head and you want to speak it out and be handed a short, finishable day — privately. Stowe is voice-first, understands speech on-device with no account and no server, works in airplane mode, is free for the daily loop, and runs on iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch. It has no team features, no calendar integration and no Android or web version, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Frequently asked questions
Is Stowe the same kind of app as Voiset?
They overlap on voice input and both call themselves AI planners, but they are different shapes. Voiset is a cloud-based day planner and task manager with team workspaces and calendar integrations, on web, iOS and Android. Stowe is a personal, on-device daily planner for Apple devices that turns a spoken brain dump into 3–5 things for today, with no account.
Which one keeps my voice data private?
Stowe transcribes and structures speech on the device itself; nothing is sent to a server, and there is no account. Voiset processes on its servers, which is what lets it integrate with calendars and teams — check its privacy policy for the details, as it is its own product.
Which is cheaper?
Stowe's daily loop — capture, plan, nudges, widgets, streaks, seven days of journal — is free, with an optional Pro subscription. Voiset offers a free trial and then paid monthly or annual tiers, listed on its pricing page. If you only need a personal daily plan, Stowe's free tier may be all you use.
