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??
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.
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.
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!
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

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.
Capturing intentions is the easy part. What’s the nudge that actually gets people to follow through?
@jamie_day Hey Jamie, thanks for your question. And true, capturing intentions is the easy part. The only nudges that we've built into SAVOR so far are: If an intention is categorized as "later" or "soon" and has a date associated with it, you will see it automatically move forward as the date gets closer. That's one way that we bring your attention back to it. And the other is if you set an actual reminder. And lastly, in settings, there's an option to set a single daily nudge.
Other than that though, we haven't planned to keep nudging people. Do you think that's a feature you would want? Or do you prefer that SAVOR remain intentionally minimalist and unobtrusive? We'd love to hear your feedback.
@juri_henley_cohn Thanks Juri! I’d lean towards minimalist. The date-based “moving forward” is a nice quiet nudge. Maybe an optional weekly recap instead of more pings? Either way, good luck with this launch!
@juri_henley_cohn @jamie_day Thanks Jamie. There's something here to think about, for sure! Thanks for the feedback.
@jamie_day Thanks Jamie. Yeah, minimalist is our inclination for now as well. I don't know about you, but the last thing I need is more dings and bings and notifications on my phone. The key to do it intuitively so they're only happening when it's genuinely helpful and not too frequently.
