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

Investing in people

Keep the promise you made to yourself

Losing someone changes how you see everyone else. Many people come away from a loss with the same quiet resolution: I will not let the people I love drift away. Not again.

Simmer exists to help you keep that promise. Not with grand gestures, but with small, steady presence. A call here, a check-in there, showing up again and again for the people still with you.

Presence is the whole point

Nobody remembers who liked their post. People remember who called, who checked in, who showed up when it counted.

Being present enough to help, support, congratulate, and remember is what we mean when we say be there. It doesn't take much time. It takes intention, and a little help following through.

How Simmer helps you show up

Gentle, never pushy
Simmer's nudges are quiet and kind. A reminder that someone might like to hear from you. Never a guilt trip, and always on a rhythm you choose.
Remember what matters
The anniversary that's coming, the appointment that's next week, the thing they said they were dreading. Notes help you show up thoughtful and prepared.
A habit of showing up
A few minutes a day is enough to be a steady presence in a lot of lives. Simmer helps you make it part of your routine, one person at a time.

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.

Invest in the people who are still here

You already know how much presence matters. Simmer simply helps you follow through, one small connection at a time.

Be there.
