We improved Sway based on your feedback. Here’s what changed after launch

After launching Sway on Product Hunt, we read every single comment.

Some of you were excited. Some curious. Some skeptical. That was good.
Because Sway is built for reflective thinking and that starts with us.

Here’s what we changed based on your feedback:

We realized something important:

Some early users hesitated to record because they weren’t sure how
their voice data was handled.

So we built a transparent page explaining:

• How audio is processed

• What is (and isn’t) stored

• Why privacy matters to us

Clarity should start with trust.

2. Smarter “Decisions” structure

Sway now doesn’t just summarize thoughts.

It helps you move from reflection to decision to action.

We refined how key insights and next steps are structured so they feel
more intentional, not just generated.

3. Faster, more natural recording

We optimized processing speed so clarity appears almost instantly after you stop speaking.

But we also improved the recording experience itself.

You can now stop a recording hands free! Just by saying “stop.”

Sway detects it and ends the session immediately.

Because reflection shouldn’t require buttons. It should feel natural.

What we’re exploring next

We’re not done.

Some of you asked for faster access, especially on iOS.

So we’re exploring:

• A lockscreen shortcut / quick action to start recording instantly

• Making Sway even stronger for deep reflective thinking

• Smarter structure suggestions depending on context

• Even clearer explanations of how Sway “thinks”

The goal is simple:

Reduce friction between thought to voice to clarity.

We’re building Sway for people who think better by talking.

If you’ve tried it:

What still feels friction heavy?

Where does it not feel magical yet?

Would love your honest feedback
