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

Moving to a new city

Distance doesn't have to mean distant

Moving is a whirlwind of boxes, paperwork, and goodbyes. Somewhere in the middle of it is a quieter worry: how do I stay close to the people I'm leaving?

Simmer keeps your old circle warm while you build your new one. Daily reminders to reach out, notes so you never lose the thread, and follow-ups so a promise to call actually becomes a call.

The friendships that fade aren't the ones that mattered least

After a move, the relationships that drift are usually the ones that lost their routine. The neighbor you saw over the fence, the friend from the Thursday run, the cousins across town.

Simmer gives every one of those relationships a new routine, one that survives distance and time zones.

How Simmer helps you settle in

Keep the old circle close
Friends, relatives, neighbors, the whole crew from your old life stays in rotation, not in the rearview.
Grow roots where you land
Add new people as you meet them. Simmer helps you follow up after that first coffee, which is how acquaintances become friends.
Stay current across time zones
Notes and reminders keep the details fresh, so calls home feel like picking up mid conversation instead of starting over.

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.

New address. Same people.

You can't take the neighborhood with you, but you can take everyone in it. Simmer makes staying close a small daily habit, wherever you live.

Be there.
