What it does
Voice command to Things 3 creates a new to-do.
Voice command to Things 3 on Mac lets you speak a task and have Aureon create a new to-do. It works when Things 3 is installed on your Mac, and it is create-only: it adds a new to-do and leaves the to-dos you already have as they are. When the task is clear, Aureon creates it directly; when a detail is unclear, it asks rather than guessing.
Things 3 is a considered, tidy system—which is exactly why you do not want a tool churning it. But the friction of switching to it and typing means quick tasks get lost.
Aureon lets you speak a task and adds it to Things 3 as a clean new to-do. It requires Things 3 to be installed on your Mac, and it only ever creates new to-dos.
Why it fits Things 3
Fast capture that keeps your system tidy.
Things 3 users value order. Aureon adds voice capture without editing or reorganizing what you have already set up.
Requires Things 3 installed
This connector works when Things 3 is installed on your Mac. Aureon hands the new to-do to the app you already use.
A clean to-do, not a transcript
Aureon turns a spoken sentence into a clear to-do title, so the item is actionable rather than a block of text.
New to-dos only
Aureon creates a new to-do each time. It does not edit, complete, or reorganize the to-dos you already have.
