+- [ ] **The mobile recorder app, and the dispatcher agent behind it.** Wanted 2026-08-21. The owner is
+      building a recorder for the phone. **Every audio lands in one central place** — one inbox, not a
+      folder per purpose — and a **dispatcher agent** decides where each one goes.
+
+      Routing has two modes and both are wanted:
+
+      - **Told.** The recording opens with the destination — "send this to my todo guy", or just
+        "todo" — and the dispatcher obeys. An explicit address always wins.
+      - **Inferred.** Nothing is named, and the dispatcher works it out from the content. This is the
+        one that makes the app worth using: the ideal is that most notes need no prefix at all.
+
+      What this implies, and it is the same missing piece named twice already: **destinations must be
+      addressable and speakable.** "My todo guy" is a name for a standing agent session, so the
+      dispatcher needs a registry of destinations with names a person would actually say, and a door to
+      deliver into a live session — which is the `pushTurn`-has-one-caller gap in the Nudger and File
+      watchers items. Three features now want it; it is the thing to build.
+
+      Fits with the rest rather than duplicating it: the **File watchers** split applies unchanged —
+      a script transcribes on arrival, the dispatcher is the agent stage — and the **iPhone Action
+      Button** item is how a recording starts without unlocking the phone.
+
+      Open: whether the dispatcher is one long-lived session or spawned per note; what it does when
+      inference is uncertain (ask back, or file into an inbox for review); and whether a routing rule
+      is a prompt from the prompt library.
