Context switching is poison for productivity. When you get that brilliant idea or see something inspiring, you should be able to take smart notes without switching app or tabs. That’s Lazy. One ⌘ shortcut to capture anywhere.
So excited to finally see this product out in the world!
Back in 2020, I wrote a blog post called "A Meta-Layer for Notes"¹ that argued that note taking apps were fundamentally broken: The process of taking notes shouldn't happen in a siloed tool, but fluidly across the OS without the need to switch tools or context.
A few days later a founder reached out saying they were building exactly that: @demtzu from Lazy.
It's been almost three years since our first conversation and it's really amazing to see how far the product has come since then.
I suspect that most people here will get excited about Lazy's AI features (to enrich notes, create automatic summaries, etc), but to me the most amazing aspect of Lazy is still its speed. The quick capture mechanism allows you to bookmark things and create notes in literally seconds. It's incredible how fast and reliably it works.
You probably think you don't need yet another note taking tool in your life ... but I'd really encourage you to give Lazy a try!
