I Built an App Because I Stopped Listening

There's a moment in a great conversation where everything clicks. An idea is born, a relationship deepens, a deal is made. I was missing those moments.

I was physically in the room, but my brain was somewhere else. It was furiously trying to keep up, scribbling notes, worried about forgetting a crucial detail. In trying to capture the conversation, I was missing the connection. And that was costing me.

The Crutch We All Lean On

For a few years, we had a digital safety net. In the world of back-to-back video calls, platforms like Google Meets and Zoom recorded and transcribed everything for us. We could relax, knowing that a perfect record of the meeting was just a click away.

Then, we started meeting in person again. In coffee shops, conference rooms, and client offices. Suddenly, the safety net was gone. My old habit came roaring back: head down, pen flying across the page, trying to be a human tape recorder. I was more focused on my notepad than the person sitting across from me.

The Divided Mind

You know the feeling. You're trying to listen to a client, understand their needs, and build rapport. At the same time, a second part of your brain is a frantic stenographer, trying to capture every word.

You can't do both well.

In that division of focus, the most important things get lost. The subtle hesitation in a prospect's voice. The spark of excitement when you mention a certain idea. The non-verbal cues that tell you the real story. I was capturing words, but I was losing the meaning.

A Tool for Presence, Not Just Productivity

I realized I needed a tool that wasn't about adding more features, but about removing a distraction. I had a simple design principle: could I make it so easy to use that my 85-year-old parents could use it?

When I'd ask them how a doctor's appointment went, the important details were often fuzzy. They needed to focus on understanding the doctor, not on memorizing complex instructions. They needed a simple way to capture the conversation so we could review it together later.

This idea became Conversation Catcher. A single button to capture the important conversations in your life, both personal and professional.

How It Helps You Connect

Think about your most important meetings:

* The Sales Meeting: Instead of worrying about notes, you can be completely present with your prospect. You can listen, ask better questions, and build genuine trust. Later, you get a perfect transcript and an AI summary to craft the perfect follow-up.

* The Client Interview: When you're trying to diagnose a problem, the details are everything. Transcribe client meetings to ensure you capture every requirement and nuance, allowing you to focus on finding the real problem, not just writing down symptoms.

* The Causal Conversation: You're having lunch with friends, and you're all excited about a great idea or a better marketing strategy for your new product. But guess what? When the lunch ends, it's all gone!
