Review Lazy?

Reviewers mostly praise Lazy for fast, low-friction capture that helps them stay in flow while researching, writing, studying, and saving material from across the desktop. Several say it is easy to start with, useful in daily work, and especially strong at clipping context like links, transcripts, and related metadata. But the feedback is not uniformly positive: a few reviewers say access has been stuck behind a long waitlist, progress feels slow, support and billing were hard to reach, and mobile access remains limited for reading notes.

Don't waste your money here. I signed up for the Lazy waiting list more than a year ago. I agreed to go through a 1:1 onboarding to get access sooner. I paid for a quarter upfront and got access. I was not impressed, but understood it was very early days. The app was far behind in every way except one - it allowed you to quickly capture an idea from desktop. I marked it on my calendar to check in again in one year, thinking that it would be enough time to make headway. So, 12 months later - in December 2024, I signed back in and paid for another quarter. To my shock, even with all of the 5 star review here - including those 5 star reviews from the team responsible for the waitlist that still exists and everyone says they're still on - not a single thing in the app has changed. The poor text editor is still the poor text editor. The sub optimal implementation of workflows, tags, integrations, it's all the same a year later. Everything about this app is exactly the same one year later. As I had to pay again for access, I thought that I'd reach out to the team to get a status update. It was and is impossible to contact anyone directly. emails to what should be support alias went unread. There is no easy way to manage tickets or even billing in the app itself. Hidden deep in a help doc, I found a request for feedback from what looked like when the app wold have first launched. It had / has the CEO's email address on it, so I simply reached out asking for an update or a refund if no updates to the app would be forthcoming. I was issued a refund 5 weeks later after continual one way messages from me to that email address.

Lazy has revolutionized my note-taking workflow and significantly boosted my productivity. The ability to capture ideas and inspiration with just a single ⌘ shortcut, without the need to switch between apps or tabs, is absolutely game-changing. As someone who constantly juggles multiple tasks and projects, the seamless capture functionality has eliminated the productivity poison of context switching. The tool's intuitive design and keyboard-driven approach aligns perfectly with my workflow. What truly sets Lazy apart is its understanding of the modern professional's needs - when inspiration strikes, you need to capture it immediately without breaking your flow. The knowledge base integration is thoughtfully implemented, making it not just a capture tool, but a comprehensive solution for managing and organizing information. Whether I'm researching, brainstorming, or documenting ideas, Lazy has become an indispensable part of my daily toolkit.

Lazy is a really cool tool that I've been using to capture articles, YouTube videos and tweets. What's really interesting about it is that it captures context as well – the article site link and author twitter handle, the transcript of the YouTube video captured, and the link to the tweets. It's still a work in progress; I feel like there's a lot they can do to make the interface simpler, but it's still great as is and has lot's of potential! I've also gotten a walkthrough from Ahmed (the founder and CEO) and Calum (Growth Manager) and they're super friendly and very responsive. Whenever I've reported a bug or suggested a feature I got a personal response within a day. They're building a great product and I'm looking forward to seeing them grow!

Have been using Lazy for a couple months now. Previously I have used Logseq, Notion, Obsidian and a host of others. Lazy is actually quite easy to get started using and I really love the ability to capture anything and everything . The current iOS app is strictly for capture, which means you cannot have a copy of your notes on the go - this is about the only thing that makes it hard to use as a daily driver, if you need to access things from your phone or tablet. Otherwise I find this to be an amazing app and am looking forward to a full iOS app (or web app) so that I can increase my use of the app and make it my only notes app.

Been using Lazy for a few months now and it's quickly become my main note taking tool, it's completely evolved my research and writing process. I'm dependent on getting into deep flow, and the contextual note taking is a game changer, I used to toggle between my main task and Notion / Notes hundreds of times a day (impossible tokeep focussed), now it works seamlessly in the background whenever I need to save a clip, capture or note. And being able to organize all my thoughts on connect dots within Lazy feels natural to how my brain works. Excited to see how Lazy AI will take this experience to the next level!

Lucky to being included in the first wave of users I simply love the product and it is THE TOOL I've been looking for some time. We all have been in the situation where you have all your notes scattered among various apps and instead of helping you, it makes a bigger mess. Well look no more, Lazy is here to replace them all. Saving notes, articles is easily available at your fingertips (literally), the app is intuitive and the indexation makes search very effective. And it still feels like i'm using just a tip of the functions. I can't wait to use the AI tools which should push the app/productivity through the roof and make all the other apps redundant. And once the Lazy mobile app is fully running, the experience will be immersive. Thanks Ahmed and the Lazy team for this app!

🚀 Imagine just one AI tool that becomes your assistant for everyday AI Content Operations ... accessible to everyone, not just experts. 🤖 What if this tool overlayed all your apps and could be called upon with just a single keystroke - offering summaries, analysis, rewriting, and answering prompts across your entire workflow? 💡 Now, take it a notch higher - what if you could customize this AI with your own prompts, finely tuned to your workflow and topic area? ✍️ Oh, and this is a knowledge management app that allows AI to rummage through your pile of notes, PDFs and other files to close prompt your own data. 👥 And what if this app went multiplayer? Enabling users to share their prompts and grow collectively in a community space? While this may seem like a distant dream, Lazy is getting there, one step at a time. And the best part? This post was a user test. I wrote a note about Lazy in their app and created my own customized 'Turn this into a LinkedIn post' command. Press one button and any note becomes a LinkedIn post ... the kind I want to write.

This was the first app I was so excited for that I did everything in my power to get early access. What an amazing piece of software. Effortlessly maintains my knowledge-base, saves everything I want and need, and it is all there systematically organized for me to look at later. I love the design, the shortcuts, and the overall experience. My heart goes out to Ahmed and the team and I am so happy this has finally launched to the public. Good luck team – you have created something truly amazing!

I'm not sure where all these reviews are coming from. The founder of this app has not launched this app publicly and has parked many people (myself included) on a perpetual waitlist for nearly a year now. The videos and marketing content looks fantastic, but I think it's disingenuous to showboat so much of this app's potential without providing access to users who want to test drive it themselves. I'm more than happy to update my review if I'm able to legitimate try it.

I have been testing this promising app, and it is a great step forward in creating a universal clipper on everything that takes place on my desktop, whether it is on the web or in a local document. A responsive developer group and a promising product that in beta is already useful in my work.
