Hey! I’m Simmer and I’m ready to get started.

Changing jobs

Take the people with you, not just the experience

Some of the best people you know are the ones you worked beside. The mentor who bet on you, the teammate who made hard weeks fun, the manager you'd gladly work for again. When you turn in your badge, you lose the hallway that kept you close.

Simmer replaces proximity with intention. It reminds you to reach out, helps you remember what's going on in their lives, and turns staying in touch into a small daily habit.

The office was doing the work for you

You never had to try to stay in touch with coworkers. You shared meetings, lunches, and hallway conversations. When you leave, all of that disappears at once.

Without a little structure, even your favorite people fade into a connection you scroll past and an occasional like. Simmer gives those relationships a new routine that doesn't depend on a shared address.

How Simmer helps when you move on

Pick who to keep close
Mark the mentors, teammates, and friends you want to carry forward. Simmer keeps them in a warm rotation so nobody quietly drops off.
Remember the details
Kids' names, the big project, the thing they were worried about. Quick notes after each conversation mean the next one starts where the last one ended.
Follow up like you mean it
Told someone you'd grab coffee once you settled in? Simmer reminds you when it's time to circle back, so a kind intention becomes an actual plan.

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.

Leave the job. Keep the people.

Careers are long and paths cross again. The colleagues you stay close to now are the friends, references, and collaborators of the next twenty years.

Be there.
