I am looking for a good way to add items to a list while in my sleep. This is meant to be part of a todo list.
I have a new habit of keeping my eyes closed for 8h 10m every night, which means no looking at my phone,which would interrupt sleep. I found that I can use Siri saying “Add to notes ‘some task’”. But this creates an entirely new note.
That makes it harder to import the list into my my vim session on my server that is my central intake for the todo system. I’d like some verbal way to use Siri to add text to a single file. I’m willing to install apps if that is the best way to do it.
Switch from Siri to Mycroft.

Or just record everything and later purge the non-voice stuff and process the good stuff when you can supervise. Postpone the to-do stuff as it's obviously not urgent if you're going to sleep.
Not to be confused with the Mycroft project.
I ended up looking at that for a bit. I did go in that direction choosing to leverage the desktop in my room.
But I decided to “roll my own assistant.” I made a simple program that will record any shouted chunks through the night. It’s pretty sensitive so I don’t actually have to shout.
Then I can run the Whisper speech to text model locally in the morning to convert the directory of audio files into a single text document.
I’m going to test it tonight. Basically to make it more simple all I really need is a transcript of anything said the the room. Not too hard.
I don't know how to do this but if you like doing things while you're falling asleep: get an Alphasmart, type on it in your bed, and transfer it to your PC the next day. It's a digital typewriter that can function as a keyboard and it has a 'beam' function where it beams the content of a text file to your PC as keyboard input so it's compatible with everything. But it can also just transfer the files themselves. You could program on it as you fall asleep as well.
If you want to use your iphone try a voice controlled keyboard perhaps? I don't know if it works like android where you can replace the input method.
I’m to the point where I’m even open to hiring someone to develop an esp32 based device to do this. I’m realizing what a high value thing this would be that it’s worth the expense, especially when I can do a lot of the programming myself.
make your notes while sleeping and then just rewrite them on your pc
