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.
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.
@lhenleycohn How well does Savor handle reminders when plans or deadlines changes??
@lhenleycohn @vipul_kumar1280 Thanks, Vipul! Reminders are tied to the date you set—for example, two hours or a day before. If your plans change, just update the date on the card and the reminder shifts with it, keeping the same lead time. No need to reset it separately.
@lhenleycohn Many congratulations, Lana and team! :)
How I met the makers: I met the makers of Savor through my PH friend @kate_ramakaieva, and I’m really glad she made the introduction.
What is the product: When I saw their website, it was clear they weren’t building another to-do app, they were thinking carefully about the “in-between” moments: the flyer you photographed, the person you meant to call, the idea you didn’t want to lose, and the small intention that never quite becomes a task. Savor is an Intention Layer™ for exactly that.
You can speak, type, or snap a photo, and it turns the thought into a clear card in Now, Soon, or Later. Reminders bring it back at the right time, while Take Action helps you explore options, build a plan, or draft the next step.
Why I endorse it: What especially stands out to me is the ability to hand off a card or just one step to someone else, with a private chat for context. That feels genuinely useful for real life, not just productivity power users.
I’m endorsing Savor because it solves a problem I recognize: most tools are great once something is already a task, but poor at helping us hold onto things while they’re still forming.
The team has built something calm, practical, and thoughtful here. I am happy to cheer for them! 😊
@lhenleycohn @kate_ramakaieva @rohanrecommends @juri_henley_cohn Thank you, Rohan! We really appreciate your support for the launch. And we are grateful to Kate for bringing us together! 😊
@lhenleycohn @kate_ramakaieva @rohanrecommends Thanks Rohan!
@lhenleycohn @kate_ramakaieva @rohanrecommends Rohan, thank you so much for hunting SAVOR and for such a thoughtful endorsement! You really captured both the problem we see and the solution we're trying to build. So much of life happens before something becomes a clearly defined task, and we believe those intentions deserve just as much care and attention as the tasks themselves that flow from those intentions. It means a great deal to have someone understand that distinction so clearly and share our enthusiasm for what we're creating. We're grateful for your support. And to @kate_ramakaieva for introducing us.
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.
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 Great question! At this stage, some of Savor’s features do indeed overlap with Apple Reminders and traditional to-do apps. The key differences today are Take Action, which helps you move an intention forward in the moment, and collaboration around shared intentions.
Going forward, Savor will understand not only what you want to do, but why. “Plan a date night” might mean something very different if you’re celebrating an anniversary versus repairing a relationship—and that context can shape the plan, the execution, and even the reminder itself. We see countless opportunities for Savor to help people act in ways that better reflect their deeper intentions.
@yana_abazher Hi Yana! Those are good apps, but I found that my intentions still got lost while using them. I needed somewhere to capture bills, school flyers, and creative thoughts as they came up, without having to dig through long chat threads later. Juggling multiple apps became another thing to manage.
That’s why we built SAVOR. It helps make sense of what you capture and move it toward follow-through. Our Take Action feature can help you work through something like holiday planning, breaking it into smaller steps and organizing what needs to happen. You can also collaborate with family members and delegate those steps.
I understand why SAVOR might look like a to-do app at first glance. Your feedback tells us we need to do a better job showing the difference: it’s an Intention Layer™, built to help you carry what matters from the moment you capture it through to action.
It’s free to try, and I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!way. But in reality, in usage, it is much more! It's free so try it! Always appreciate any feedback.
Congrats on the launch! I appreciate the transparent details on your privacy policy, especially keeping memory on-device and redacting what goes to the model. I have two quick questions:
Encryption exists on Firestore which is great to keep data secure at rest but when data leaves Firestore to the backend app and ultimately the user's device, is data still encrypted? In other words, is it an end to end encryption where both Savor and Google can't read the Synced cards?
I could not under your Ad measurement clearly enough. I think it starts on for adults, correct?
@richatsealedvault Data is encrypted at rest in Firestore and in transit using HTTPS/TLS. However, those protections do not mean it is end-to-end encrypted: Firestore decrypts data for authorized reads. Google’s documentation
2. Yes, it starts on for adults in the app, with these exceptions and controls:
It starts off in the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland, and when the device’s region cannot be determined.
It is unavailable for accounts identified as ages 13–17.
Anyone can turn it off under Settings → Privacy → Ad measurement.
Website measurement starts off and requires permission separately.
@lhenleycohn Thanks for the prompt response and clearly acknowledging that while data is encrypted at rest and transmitted via secured channels, it is not an end to end encryption. Being upfront about what encryption does and doesn't cover builds trust. Your explanation on Ad measurement is clearer to me now. Best of wishes to the team and the success of SavorApp_AI. Cheers!!
@richatsealedvault Anytime. If you have other questions or even feedback, we thank you for them. We will be iterating quickly, and hardening our processes in the next few weeks.
Have you tried the app? Please share your thoughts!
@lhenleycohn Thanks for asking. To be upfront, I looked at your website and Play Store listing rather than using the app. The concept looks strong, but it isn't quite for me since I already use my own tool for something similar, just without AI.
What could win someone like me over is on encryption, however I completely understand why end-to-end encryption isn't an option given the AI features, so the trade-off makes sense.
One piece of feedback I will honestly share is that when I searched for "Savor" on the Play Store, food-related apps dominated the results and yours was hard to find. A more specific keyword in the listing title or description might help people find it more easily.
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!
Does a photo of a book page stay as a note I can reread, or does it always try to turn it into a task? For me a lot of "later" would be lines from books I'm reading.
@thomas_wazza Ah, interesting. you should test that - that hasn't been part of our testing set. But, Savor will keep your photo, and the photo will be accessible from the card's face. Try keeping a note like, "Page 19 from Tale of Two Cities" - I think that should work. I will test that later today.
What book are you reading? Would you recommend?
@lhenleycohn Thank you guys for the response.
Reading the palace of dreams by Kadare, nice book!
@thomas_wazza Hey Thomas,
Great question and I just wanted to clarify one thing. SAVOR is always working to understand your intention, which may ultimately be the same as a task but it may not.
In your example if you just uploaded the photo with that line from your book without any context, Savor might not do very much with it. But over time using our Take Action feature, you might evolve that or refine that intention into something like: "Learn more about the author of this line," or "Research the topic highlighted here more," or "Read other books on this topic." And those might become tasks for you.
If you uploaded the photo with more context at the outset, then Savor will have a better grasp from the get-go of what your intention is connected to the photo you're uploading. Does that make sense?
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
