Made by a one-person studio
Duncan is a to-do app you talk to. Brain dump the mess — he splits it into separate notes and reminders, files each one, and nudges you until it's done.
Free while in beta · iPhone
Tap ＋ and talk — or type. One tangled ramble is fine. No fields, no tags, no due dates to fill in.
The ramble comes back as separate things — titled, dated, and filed into the right folder. You just approve.
They are waiting in the right folder, with the reminders set. Tick them off as they get done — ignore him for a week and nothing breaks.
Title it, pick the folder, flip on a checklist. Duncan stays out of it when you already know what you want.
Choose Home and the note takes Home's sticker and colour. Nothing to configure.
Every item is a checkbox on the card, on the wall, wherever the note turns up.
Talk it out
One messy ramble is all it takes. Type it on the quiet days.
He chases you
Reminders that come back until the thing is actually done.
Folders, filled for you
Each thought lands in the right folder as you speak — recolour them anytime.
On your Lock Screen
What's next sits on your Lock Screen. No opening the app.

I'm a product designer. Design systems, HMI, and enterprise software by day. I built Duncan because my own brain kept dropping things, and every to-do app I tried just handed me another system to maintain. So Duncan does the opposite: you ramble, he sorts it, and he follows through so you don't have to.
Duncan is made by Macbeth Labs, my one-person studio, the same studio behind Werk, a catalog for watch collectors, live on the App Store now. Every detail gets obsessed over personally; if something feels off, tell me and I'll fix it.
Werk, for the watches you keep
