Yes. Stowe is a daily planner app for iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch, listed on the App Store as "Stowe: Voice Daily Planner". It is not related to the town of Stowe, Vermont, or the ski resort — it just shares the name.

Stowe voice planner — what is it?

A voice-first daily planner. You tap the mic and say what is on your mind — errands, tangents, half sentences — and on-device AI sorts it into tasks, routines and things, then puts 3–5 doable things in front of you for today. Typing works too.

Yes. Voice and typed capture, the daily plan of 3–5 things, calm nudges, widgets, the run card, Toki’s shelf and props, and seven days of journal history are free. Your first Month in Review is free in full. Stowe Pro is an optional monthly or annual subscription with a 7-day free trial, billed by Apple; it adds the Watch app, the whole journal, Refine with AI, morning read-aloud, weekly reflection, the Month in Review every month after the first, export and backup, and the icon pack. Prices are set per territory and shown in the App Store.

Does Stowe work offline?

Yes, completely. Speech is transcribed and structured on your device, so capture, planning and the journal all work in airplane mode. There is no account and no server of ours; your data lives on your devices and in your private iCloud.

Stowe is built the way many people with ADHD say planners should have worked all along: one thing shown at a time, a day small enough to finish, no red overdue lists, and streaks that bend instead of break. It is a planning tool, not a medical product — it does not diagnose or treat ADHD.

Stowe, in one paragraph

Stowe (App Store name: Stowe: Voice Daily Planner) is a daily planner built around talking instead of typing. Tap the mic and let it out — errands, tangents, the thing you keep forgetting. On-device AI splits the dump into tasks, routines and things, guesses a type and a date for each, and picks 3–5 you can actually finish today. Everything else waits its turn, out of sight, without being lost. It runs on iPhone, on the Mac (a mic in the menu bar, the same Today in a window) and on Apple Watch, and it is made by one person, Anurag Agnihotri.

Who is Stowe for?

Stowe is for people whose plans start as a pile of thoughts — brains with too many tabs open, ADHD or not. It is for anyone who has bounced off planners that wanted them to organize first and live second: the ones with red overdue lists, seventeen-item days and a “streak lost” screen. Stowe shows one thing at a time, keeps today small enough to finish, and lets a bad Tuesday bend the streak instead of breaking it. There is a page on Stowe for ADHD and overwhelmed brains that says more.

How does Stowe work?

You speak. Tap the mic and talk the way you actually talk. Speech is transcribed on your phone. Typing works just as well.
It sorts. On-device AI splits the dump into tasks, routines and things, with a type and a date for each. Every guess is a tap away from being fixed.
Today has 3–5 things. Not seventeen. The rest stays out of sight until it is its turn.
Done. Work down the list, close the day out. Closed days add up in the Journal, and a weekly reflection reads the week back to you.
It keeps. The Journal holds a run card (days planned · best · held — never days missed; days off do not touch it), Toki’s shelf of keepsakes — small drawn objects earned for finished days, weeks planned end to end, and coming back after a gap; never for opening the app, never taken away — and, when a month closes, a short paged Month in Review: the week that carried it, the things that defined it in your own words, how you did it, what Toki kept.

Toki — the small drawn creature in the app — listens while you talk, sits quietly while you work, and marks the moment the day is done. Company, not noise.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Stowe transcribes and understands everything on your device with on-device AI (Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones). Your voice, tasks and plans stay on your devices and in your private iCloud — no account, and no server of ours to leak. Stowe works in airplane mode. The App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Linked to You”, and the privacy policy is short because there is little to say.

What is free, and what is Pro?

Speaking, planning and finishing your day are free, forever: voice and typed capture, the daily plan of 3–5 things, three calm nudges plus reminders you set, widgets and the Lock Screen ring, the run card with comeback grace and days off, Toki’s shelf and props, seven days of journal history, and your first Month in Review in full.

Stowe Pro is an optional subscription — monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial, billed by Apple — that adds the Watch app, the whole journal, Refine with AI, morning read-aloud, weekly reflection, the Month in Review every month after your first, export and backup, and the icon pack. Prices are set per territory, so the App Store shows yours before you agree to anything. Pro keeps a one-person app funded; there are no ads and no data sold.

Which devices does Stowe run on?

iPhone — the main app; on-device AI structuring needs a device with Apple Intelligence, and simpler pattern matching takes over on older ones. Stowe on the App Store.
Mac — a mic in the menu bar (click it or press ⌥Space), plus Today and Journal in a window. Stowe on the Mac App Store.
Apple Watch — capture a thought from the wrist; it is sorted and waiting when you next open your phone.
Widgets — today’s short list on the Home and Lock Screen.

Stowe is Apple-only. There is no Android or web version.

How does Stowe compare to other planners?

Honest, table-first comparisons with the apps people usually weigh it against:

Stowe vs Voiset — two planners you can talk to, one on-device and Apple-only, one cloud-based and cross-platform.
Stowe vs Structured — a spoken 3–5-thing day versus a visual timeline of your whole day.
Stowe vs Tiimo — two neurodivergent-minded planners — one visual and cross-platform with cloud AI, one voice-first and on-device.
Stowe vs Structured vs Things — the longer three-way comparison on the blog.

Who builds Stowe?

Anurag Agnihotri, an independent developer. Stowe is a one-person app: support email goes straight to him at anurag.agnihotri.15990@gmail.com, and the blog is written by him. There is no team, no investors and no growth department — which is also why there is no feed, no ads and no account.
