We built Savor for the small intentions that are too meaningful to lose but too half-formed for a task list: the flyer on the fridge, the person you meant to call, the place someone recommended, or the bill you photographed so you wouldn t forget.
Before we launch on Product Hunt, I d love to learn from you: what kind of thought tends to slip through your system? Where does it live now, and what usually makes it resurface too late?
Reply with a real example, minus anything private. I ll share what we hear and how it shapes Savor.
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?
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 :-)
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.
Congrats, team! I like the concept, but I can't totally get how is this different from Apple Reminders or a regular to-do app?
@yana_abazher Thanks Yana - We didn't start Savor trying to make money - we really did see a gap in what was available, and then asked ourselve: Are others also struggling like us? or is it just us? <Cringe>
There are just too many apps and places, that do so many things, but put together, just not the right tool. So we're making it! Always welcome to feedback - what is working, and more importantly, what isn't working...
Such a simple idea, but it makes sense. not everything needs a deadline.
@alexkhlystova Right~!? I'm right there with you.
We tried to make the UX as simple as possible. But for a feature like TakeAction, admittedly it's a bit less-simple - would love to hear your thoughts on that UX.
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!
Handing off a single step instead of the whole card is a nice touch, since shared tasks tend to get vague. Once someone accepts a card, do they get its reminders right away?
@neerajnathany Hey Neeraj! That's a great question. Yes it does! For a second, we thought you may have asked about something we missed, but we just checked it and yes, once you hand off a card to someone (or a subcard), then any reminders associated with it travel with it as well.
@neerajnathany Chiming in - Incredibly helpful for managing my ADHD son! lol. I tell him, responding "Ok" on chat doesn't mean it's DONE. When the task/reminder is completed, he can swipe it. :P
@lhenleycohn swiping a card away once it is truly done is a neat way to tell it apart from a quick "ok" 😄 does your son get a reminder again if he never swipes it?
@neerajnathany Since we're talking about my son, and the reminder we are talking about would be sitting in now ('cause he's a heavy procrastinator), the daily brief each morning would catch that. But as of now, we don't have recurring reminder on a single card/item - we will add that as a fast follow. Users can set a "due date" and a "reminder" and neither is a recurring nudge.
If I shared a card with him, I would see that it isn't done, and he'd get a reminder in form of the private chat feature on each card - which nudges the user.
