Liro, explained
Questions worth asking before you plan another day.
Straight answers about Liro, voice capture, and what Liro Pro includes.
What is Liro?
Liro is a voice-first, local-first task planner for iPhone. It's built for capturing a task the second it crosses your mind, then giving it a calm, realistic place in your day. You can speak a task without picking a project, date, tag, priority, or even an account first.
How does Liro turn speech into a task?
Tap the microphone and say what you need to do. Liro transcribes it and picks out useful details from your wording — a time, a day, a category. Review what it suggests, adjust anything that's off, and save.
Is Liro a productivity app or a to do list app?
Both, really — but capture comes before organization. Liro turns a spoken thought into a usable task first, then shows your work as a calm day plan instead of demanding you build a system before you're allowed to start.
Who is Liro for?
Liro is for people whose tasks occur to them mid-motion — walking, working, mid-conversation — who want somewhere trustworthy to put them right away. It's a good fit if a normal to-do app feels like paperwork, or an overdue counter makes planning feel heavier instead of lighter.
Does Liro work offline?
Yes. Liro works fully offline, so capturing and managing tasks never depends on having a signal. Reconnect whenever, and conflict-safe sync quietly catches your plan up — offline isn't a special mode here, it's just normal.
How is Liro different from a typical task manager?
Liro starts from a spoken thought, not a form. And it skips the guilt-driven productivity signals — work that no longer fits gets a new plan, not a punishing overdue count. Structure is there when it helps, never required to capture a task.
How is Liro different from Todoist?
The task list underneath is familiar — Inbox, Today, Upcoming, tags, recurrence. What's different is how a task gets there. Todoist expects you to type, then choose a project, date, and priority. Liro starts from your voice: say the task and Liro fills in the date, time, and category itself, with nothing required to save it. If you want a mature ecosystem and manual control, Todoist is a solid choice. If tasks occur to you mid-motion and typing feels like a delay, Liro is built for that moment.
Can I organize tasks in Liro?
Yes — Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Spaces, sections, subtasks, tags, estimates, reminders, recurrence, search, all of it. The difference is that every one of these is an optional layer. The only thing a task actually needs is a title.
What is Liro Pro?
Liro Pro is built for people who need deeper planning tools: calendar blocks, read-only calendar import, hard deadlines, capacity planning, recurrence, and advanced review. Liro Pro is the whole app: $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year (US prices), with a 48-hour free trial in the app. Liro is coming soon to iPhone.
