SavorApp_AI - Capture what matters and move your intentions forward
by•
Savor is an Intention Layer™ for thoughts that never reach your to-do list. Speak, type, or snap a photo to create a clear card in Now, Soon, or Later. Reminders bring it back when it matters. Take Action (Beta) helps you explore options, build a plan or list, and draft words you can use. Review and adjust as you go. Hand off a card or a single step, with a private chat for context. You decide what happens next. Free on iOS and Android.

Hi Product Hunt. I’m Lana, and I built Savor because of the thoughts that never make it anywhere.
When we interviewed early users, everyone had a system for the big things: a calendar, an inbox, a to-do list. What they did not have was a place for the other ten percent: the hallway conversation, the flyer on the fridge, the podcast someone mentioned. Those lived in their heads, and came back at midnight.
How it works
Speak, type, or snap a bill, letter, or flyer.
Savor shapes it into a clear card: what it is, when it matters, what to do next.
Cards sit in Now, Soon, or Later.
They come back with reminders you control.
What makes it different
Hand off a card or a single step to someone else, with a private chat for context. Once they accept, they become its editor and receive its reminders. You keep a read-only copy and can take it back. No streaks, badges, or scores.
A few things to try
Photograph a bill so its details do not get lost.
Capture someone you meant to call or a place a friend recommended.
Hand a card to your partner instead of carrying it alone.
Use voice capture, a Siri shortcut on iPhone, or add a card to your calendar.
We call this an Intention Layer™: a place for things while they are still becoming something.
Try it free on iPhone and Android.
Which thought would you give Savor first? I’d love to hear what feels useful and what it gets wrong.
Hi Product Hunt. I’m Juri, one of the co-founders of SAVOR.
SAVOR started from a problem that felt surprisingly basic: so many of the things that matter to us never become tasks.
They’re half-formed intentions—something we want to look into, a decision we need to make, someone we mean to reach out to, an idea we don’t want to lose, a change we’d like to make. Most productivity systems ask us to turn all of that into lists and projects, and eventually the system itself becomes another thing to manage.
We wanted something different: a calm place where you can simply say what’s on your mind, trust that it won’t disappear, and have it come back when it can actually help you move forward.
That’s SAVOR today.
The bigger idea behind it is what we call the Intention Layer™. As AI gets increasingly capable of remembering, reasoning, and acting for us, we think it needs more than access to our data. It needs some persistent understanding of what we’re actually trying to bring about—and how those intentions change and relate to one another over time.
We’re very early, and that’s part of why we’re here. I’d genuinely love to hear what feels natural, what feels confusing, and especially whether SAVOR helps you hold onto something you otherwise might have lost.
Thanks for taking a look!
best
-Juri
Congrats @lhenleycohn @juri_henley_cohn and the team on the long-awaited launch!
I've been watching Savor come together for a while, and I should say it's a great app to deal with the mess we all have in our heads. Also, handoff is a great part - it's easy to share some tasks quickly instead of saying "Don't forget to do that".
So for me, Savor is basically a calm place without guilt vibes. It warmly guides you through getting things done, with captioning new tasks on the go from voice or photos.
Looking forward to seeing more people feel this as well!
Does Savor ever nudge you to drop a card that's been sitting in Later forever? Asking for a friend 🤣
@lhenleycohn @kate_ramakaieva Thanks Kate. Thanks for checking us out and for your support. That's a great question about a nudge on a card that's been sitting in Later for a while. No, it does not. With Savor we wanted to build a product to support one's attention, focus, and presence so we've intentionally avoided any kinds of nudges that a user hasn't explicitly asked for.
With that said, however, we are totally open to feedback and we'll have to see what demand is like for a feature like that. But our initial inclination is for Savor not to do that. Part of our ethos is for users to feel like their intentions are safely held and guided by them. Not for us to encourage users to clear their lanes as much or as fast as possible. Does that make sense?
I like that it’s for all the little things you think, 'I should remember that' and then immediately forget. Nice Launch!@lhenleycohn @aaditya_menon @juri_henley_cohn
@lhenleycohn @juri_henley_cohn @harshyadav yes! Personally, I used to juggle between apple notes and messaging myself on WhatsApp. I’ve moved almost completely to SAVOR now
@aaditya_menon @juri_henley_cohn @harshyadav I used to use my camera roll or what'sapp- the first feature we created was the photo feature - trying to find my last thought, or even remember to return to the gallery was awful - I used to kick myself when I forgot to look - no more of that! :)
If there is anything else that you would find helpful, let us know!
Now, Soon and Later is about as much sorting as I'd want to do when saving a passing thought. Nice to keep that first step small.
@oleksii_sekundant thank you! We believe those three lanes give things a place without forcing you to over-plan your life. And in settings, you can customize what "now," "soon," and "later" mean to you. For example, for one person, "now" might mean within the next hour, but for a different person, "now" might mean anything for that day. So it's fully customizable what those buckets mean to each person.
@oleksii_sekundant Absolutely! The last thing I want/wanted was another overly complex app experience. One of our driving mandates is to always keep user facing functionality simple and intuitive. Complexity is intentionally "under the hood" but still accessible for those who want to tweak every little thing. At least that's the hope!
handing off one step with its own context is the detail that stands out here
a whole task can be too much to delegate when u only need someone to help with one small part
@saad_el_gueddari Totally couldn't agree more!
@saad_el_gueddari Yeah, one of our favorites that we discovered in building and testing was something like "Organize a family picnic" We discovered that one person might do the grocery shopping while another might be responsible for bringing a picnic blanket and soccer ball, etc. But all of them working together toward the shared intention of a fun family picnic :-)
@priyankamandal Fair question! And there's some truth to that characterization. We certainly build on existing AI models, as do many products in this space.
But we think there's an important distinction between putting an interface around an LLM and building an entirely different experience that uses AI as one of its underlying technologies. As LLMs get better and better, we think intelligence becomes more and more of a commodity. You could argue that a microwave and a toaster are just different wrappers around electricity. True, to a degree. And yet each product does something very different with that same underlying resource.
SAVOR is built around a problem we don't think AI assistants have really solved. AI assistants are increasingly good at executing clearly defined tasks and goals. But those tasks and goals flow from the intentions that motivate them, something profoundly human. Two people can pursue exactly the same goal, but the right actions, tradeoffs, and outcomes can vary dramatically depending on why they're pursuing it. And any single intention is best understood in the context of all the other things that matter to that person.
We're not trying to build another chatbot or general-purpose assistant. We're building what we call an Intention Layer™—a system that captures what matters to you, gives it structure, holds onto it over time, resurfaces it when relevant, and helps you move toward action.
This also gets at a distinction we think is increasingly important: intelligence isn't the same as wisdom. AI is becoming remarkably good at figuring out how to accomplish something. But applying that intelligence wisely requires understanding why something matters, how it relates to someone's broader priorities, and when pursuing one goal might undermine another.
Our vision is to keep the user sovereign—always in control of their intentions and the actions taken on their behalf—while enabling AI to operate with a deeper, but bounded, understanding of what they're actually trying to achieve.
LLMs provide intelligence; SAVOR offers continuity of intention. We believe that's an essential foundation for applying AI intelligence with greater wisdom in service of human goals.
Ultimately, though, the proof is in the product and the experience we deliver, not in what we call it. And we think that's a fair standard to hold us to!
What do you mean by an "Intention Layer"? It sounds a little abstract.
@vehsakam Ha! Fair enough :-) Thanks for the question. By intention layer, we mean that which sits between the person and their human-generated impulses and what they want AI to do on their behalf. We mean the space between “I should remember this” and a fully defined task. A lot of life starts in that middle, and most productivity tools don’t handle it especially well. They tend to work pretty well downstream of a clearly defined goal. But when something is earlier than that, like a concert that you might be interested in, that you saw a flyer for, but you don't yet know whether it's something you want to buy tickets to. Maybe you want to learn more about the band first. Maybe you want to see if any of your friends are interested. But you also don't want to lose all the info that would allow you explore it further.
Looks interesting, but how private is this? Some of this could be pretty personal.
@zeynepsahin The honest answer is that SAVOR has to process what you give it in order to shape it into a Card and bring it back later. We designed it for private, personal use, not as a public feed. For the precise details, I’d still encourage everyone to read our privacy policy rather than take a founder’s short reply as the whole answer. But your question gets at one of our longer-term goals, which is that we think in the future people will not necessarily want to have all of their information living inside of a particular AI agent like Instinct or Muse. They'd rather control their own information and their own privacy in sort of a more neutral party like SAVOR, and then give bounded access to these execution agents as necessary.
@zeynepsahin Thanks for the question. Yeah, getting our privacy policy just right is going to be key! If you have the time, take a look at ours. https://www.savorapp.ai/privacy We'd love to hear your feedback on it! We're always looking to improve where we can.
@zeynepsahin Great question. In addition to what the team has already shared, we have gone an procured (also noted in the privcay docs), ZDR (Zero Data Retention) polices with most our AI partners, and one MDR (Modified Data Retention) - still aiming to get that to a ZDR. Hope that helps clarify.
This looks really interesting. The ease and 'just pop this in for later' is crucial in this space
@a_s71 Hi Alicam We definitely had many discussions about the separate panels. Glad you like where we landed. And super happy to have created an app that helps people. That's always been our goal.
@a_s71 Another thing - what sits in Later on my screen is, "Update living will" - I don't have a place for that, and it's not an emergency, but when I see it in later, I try and get to it a little at a time.
