The privacy thread is well covered here, so I will push on the part that decides whether this is a business. Remembering relationships is a classic vitamin, not a painkiller. People feel the pain once a year per person, then forget the tool exists between events. That is a brutal retention profile. I would not validate this with a waitlist. A waitlist tells you the idea sounds nice, it tells you nothing about whether someone will pay or keep paying. Find 10 people who feel this guilt acutely, get them on a manual version (you personally texting them reminders and gift ideas), and see if they will pay you 10 dollars a month before you build the AI. If they will not pay a human doing it perfectly, they will not pay software doing it 80 percent as well.
Fair point. Right now, I'm strictly using the landing page and waitlist to validate if this specific emotional hook resonates before moving into the next phase. Appreciate the feedback!
Sharp framing. One thing worth testing: is the deeper pain forgetting to reach out, or not having enough close people to reach out to? The second feels harder and more universal, though maintenance is a smart wedge in.
Really deep question. From what I've seen, the core pain isn't a lack of close people i t’s the friction of life getting in the way of maintaining those connections. People mean well, but executive dysfunction and busy schedules cause months to slip by.
Maintenance is 100% the smart wedge here. Memori is designed to protect those existing, high-value relationships from quietly eroding due to busy schedules.
The use case is real, but the failure mode is unique here: if Memori suggests something slightly off - wrong tone, wrong occasion - it doesn't just fail like a missed calendar reminder, it makes the user look thoughtless to the person they care about. That asymmetry should shape the UX. Every suggestion should land as a draft the user can quietly edit, never as a 'send now' prompt. The lower the AI's autonomy on the outbound side, the more people will trust it with the personal data on the inbound side. That's how you cross the trust threshold without ever forcing a privacy conversation.
Spot on, David. The asymmetry of a bad AI recommendation making someone look completely thoughtless is a massive risk.
This is exactly why Memori will never send automated messages or actions directly. Everything lands strictly as a private, backend draft/idea for the user to tweak, personalize, and send themselves. The user stays entirely in control.
That's the right call, and it's also your moat. 'Draft, never send' is harder to build than full automation but it's exactly what earns t he right to touch someone's relationships. Plenty of tools will promise to send for you; the ones people trust with this kind of data are the ones that stay on the draft side. Sounds like you already know that.That's the right call, and it's also your moat.

love the focus on solving the "good intentions vs. busy life" gap. Most reminder apps stop at notifications, but the proactive suggestions and coordination angle feels much more valuable. Curious how Memori personalizes gift and experience recommendations over time?
Thanks for the feedback! For personalization, the goal is to start simple using basic inputs like relationship type and explicit likes/dislikes. Over time, Memori learns based on what suggestions you actually approve, snooze, or reject, refining its recommendations to match your specific relationships without requiring you to manually log data.
The privacy/control thread is probably the wedge here. I'd make the first version work with very low-context inputs: dates, relationship type, a few do/don't preferences, and past gift misses. Then show a plan with confidence/why-this-fits instead of acting like it knows the person. That keeps it useful before users trust it with deeper memory.
This is incredible advice, Fred. You completely nailed the onboarding challenge. Starting with low-context inputs (dates, preferences, and especially "past misses") is exactly how we plan to build initial trust without overstepping on privacy. Giving a clear 'why-this-fits' reason for a suggestion makes total sense. Definitely taking this into the version 1 build!
Dropping these replies shows you are actively listening to your early audience, which is the entire point of building in public. Go ahead and post these, and let's keep driving that waitlist momentum!
Nice, that sounds like the right v1 shape. One tiny UX detail I would keep visible: let people reject a suggestion with a quick reason like too expensive, wrong tone, or already done. That gives you learning data without making the user feel like they are training a system.
Moving from simple calendar reminders to proactive planning weeks in advance is exactly how you solve relationship anxiety. A generic calendar notification on the day of an anniversary is usually too late to actually plan a meaningful surprise
Exactly! 'Relationship anxiety' is the perfect way to describe that feeling of scrambling at the last minute. Generic calendars just don't solve that. The goal here is to completely remove that anxiety so you can just focus on being present and thoughtful. Thanks for validating that the 'weeks in advance' angle resonates!
This is a cool idea. Most people just use a calendar for this, but the part about getting actual gift ideas and plans is where it gets interesting.
Do you think the hard part will be getting people to actually trust the AI with enough personal info to make it work?
That is a really great question and definitely one of the biggest hurdles. My approach to building trust is keeping the user entirely in the driver's seat. Memori will only ask for the minimum context needed to brainstorm good ideas, acting more like a private brainstorming partner than a data-hungry manager. Plus, having that 'human-in-the-loop' step ensures the user is always the one making the final call. What level of data control would make you feel comfortable using a tool like this?
The 'human-in-the-loop' aspect is key. I'd feel comfortable if I could see exactly what the AI has learned and delete anything I don't want it to keep. Also, if my friends or family use the app, they should be able to see and control the info being shared about them, too.
Complete transparency is exactly how we plan to win trust. A privacy dashboard where you can see exactly what context Memori has noted—and wipe it with a single click—is a day-one feature. I love the point about family/friends control too; building an ecosystem where data sovereignty goes both ways is a great long-term guardrail. Thanks for digging deep into this with me!
This is a real problem. I like that you’re focusing on planning ahead, not just another reminder app.
One thing I’d be careful with is making the suggestions feel personal, not too AI-generated. If Memori can help people stay thoughtful while still feeling human, that could be strong.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree completely I’m currently exploring ways for users to review or edit AI suggestions so it never feels robotic. Do you think a 'human-in-the-loop' feature would make it feel more authentic to you?
Yes, I think human-in-the-loop would make it feel much more authentic.
For something relationship-focused, AI should probably suggest options, but the user should still approve, edit, or add their own personal touch before anything is finalized. That keeps it helpful without making it feel robotic.
I’m also testing a native Mac AI app on Indie Hackers right now, so this topic is really useful for me too. Would love your thoughts if you get a chance to check it on my profile.
Spot on. The 'approve and edit' step is exactly what I'm designing right now to ensure the user's personal touch is always the final output. I really appreciate the insight! I’m heading over to your profile right now to check out your Mac AI app—love supporting fellow builders.
Interesting idea. I'm building in the reminders space as well, and one thing I've learned is that people remember through the week leading up to the event, and then forget at the last moment, often remembering again once it's too late.
What stood out to me is the "weeks in advance" angle. Most reminder systems focus on the event itself, but the real value is giving people enough lead time to actually do something meaningful, and making sure they do it
Another thing I'd be curious about: how much of the value comes from the AI suggestions versus simply having a reliable system that surfaces important dates at the right time?
For example, if Memori reminded me about my partner's birthday 3 weeks in advance, that alone might solve 80% of the problem. The gift and experience recommendations would then be an added bonus. And have you thought about a follow-up system to make sure I don't forget?
Interested to know your thoughts
You’ve hit on the exact reason I’m building this that 'weeks in advance' gap is where the real problem lies. I’m currently testing a follow-up logic to ensure the action actually happens, not just the reminder. I’d love to show you how that looks once I have a prototype ready what do you think.
Absolutely, please reach out to me once it's ready.
BTW, I would also really appreciate it if you could check out what I am building: http://reminders.verysimple.systems/
Hey! I just checked out Reminders. It’s a really clean example of how to build a 'system, not just a notification' for life-admin tasks.
It’s interesting to see the contrast: Reminders is perfectly architected for those high-stakes, objective deadlines (passport renewals, insurance, etc.) where forgetting is a massive liability.
Memori is attacking the 'softer' side of that same problem the subjective, emotional deadlines where the penalty for forgetting isn't a fine or a lapsed permit, but the quiet erosion of a relationship. It’s cool to see how the same 'persistent follow-up' logic applies to both, but with such different emotional stakes.
Really great execution on the privacy-first, minimal data model. Wishing you the best with the launch! By the way, how is the launch process treating you so far? Are you live with users yet, or are you still in the final testing phase of your rollout?
The strongest part here is not reminders.
It is avoiding the guilt of realizing too late that someone important needed more thought than a calendar ping.
I’d be careful that Memori does not get framed as another smart reminder app. The sharper angle is proactive relationship care for busy people who mean well but forget to plan early.
If the page leans too much on AI features, people may understand the tool but not feel the emotional pain strongly enough to join the waitlist.
The message should probably make the user feel: “this helps me be the kind of person I already want to be.”
That is a brilliant perspective. 'Helps me be the kind of person I want to be' is the exact emotional hook I need to focus on. I’m going to rework my messaging to center on that identity shift rather than just the AI features. Thanks for pushing me in that direction! I really appreciate it
Glad it resonated.
The part I’d be careful with now is jumping straight into rewriting copy. Once the positioning shifts from features to identity, the homepage, waitlist message, examples, and onboarding all need to point at the same emotional promise.
Otherwise you may end up with better wording, but the same underlying story.
Drop your email and I’ll send over a tighter version in writing.
You are completely right. Changing the headline isn't enough if the onboarding and waitlist still feel like a cold utility tool. The whole journey needs to reflect that identity shift. I would love to see the tighter version you have in mind! You can reach me at [danielomenje@gmail.com]. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this.
Sent it over, Daniel.
Kept it focused on making the emotional promise consistent across the page and waitlist.
