Savor is a free phone app for the things too small or too vague for a to-do list: call the dentist, book that trip, deal with the parking fine. Say it, type it, or snap a photo of the letter or flyer, and Savor turns it into a card. Cards sit in three lanes, Now, Soon, and Later, and come back with a reminder when their date gets close.
The AI part is Take Action, still in beta. Open a card and it helps you work out the next step: compare options, build a list, look up public information, or draft the message you've been putting off. You can also hand a card to someone else who uses Savor; once they accept, it's theirs, reminders included. Photos of bills and letters are read automatically, and Siri can add cards hands-free. It's free on iPhone and Android while the company has paid plans on hold.
Most to-do apps fail at the item that isn't a task yet. "Sort out the car insurance" sits there for weeks because the first step is unclear. Take Action goes straight at that, turning the vague card into options and a first draft. Photo capture is the other good idea: a letter from the city becomes a reminder in one shot.
It's most useful for busy households and anyone whose life admin piles up, and hand-offs make it a decent shared list for couples. For real projects with deadlines and subtasks, Todoist or Apple Reminders are still the better tools.
It's free right now because the company paused charging, which tells you the business model isn't settled. Data is encrypted at rest but not end to end, so keep the medical letters out of it. For everything else, it costs nothing to find out whether it finally gets you to call the dentist.
