How Simmer works

A small daily habit

You set the goal: reach out to one to five people a day. Easy to understand, hard to keep up on your own. Simmer holds you to it, a few minutes at a time.

Step 1

A gentle nudge

Each morning Simmer nudges you toward the goal you chose: follow through, follow up, or step up.

Step 2

One person, with context

Open Simmer and it will remind you about someone from your contacts, context to jog your memory, suggested conversation starters, and topics you could reflect on.

Step 3

Reach out, or skip

Decide to reach out to that person, or swipe to skip them for now and try someone else. It can be enough to just say, "Hi."

Step 4

Pause and jot it down

After you connect, Simmer helps you remember to pause for a moment and capture notes, and set follow up topics with due dates.

Step 5

Reach your goal for the day

Keep going, connect or skip forward until you hit your outreach goal for the day.

Step 6

Everyone stays close

Show up like this, one small touch at a time, and your whole network stays warm.

Pro-social. Anti-media.

Presence

Showing up makes all the difference

Staying connected shouldn't take effort, just intention. Simmer helps you follow through.

Simplicity

Stay in touch without the noise.

Simmer cuts the clutter and reminds you who to reach out to when it matters.

Accountability

Because relationships fade without care.

Friendly streaks and trends help you stay accountable to your social health. Set a small reaonable daily outreach goal, and Simmer helps you meet it.

Reciprocity

Networking is not self-promotion.

Being available for others creates the strongest connections. Become the kind of person people can ask for help.

You don't need more content.

Simmer focuses on connections, not content.

Simmer is not

Not another messaging app.

Simmer doesn't replace how you talk to people. It helps you remember them.

Not another brain rot or ad feed.

No sponsored posts, no algorithmic timelines. Just the people you actually know.

Not another invasion of privacy.

Simmer works for you and your data is your own. We don't sell your data.

Simple pricing
