Hey Product Hunt! 👋
A few years ago, we launched Lazy here for the first time and some of you might remember we took home a Golden Kitty for it. 🐱
Back then, we built Lazy on a simple belief:
The process of capturing information is broken.
A single shortcut should let you take notes from anywhere — emails, PDFs, videos, tweets — without breaking context.
But capturing was just the beginning.
Today, we’re launching Lazy 2.0 — your thinking partner, grounded in your own knowledge, ready to surface what you might’ve forgotten or build on what you already know — right where you work, write, or read.
With the same shortcut, you can now:
→ Ask: “How does this relate to my notes?”
→ Or: “Did we talk about this in our last meeting?”
→ Even: “How does this compare with [[Collection of Notes]]?”
Lazy surfaces insights from your own past ideas — in context, and in real time.
It’s like having a conversation with your second brain (or as we like to say, your second heart ❤️).
🧠 Whether you’re skimming a Paul Graham essay, replying to a team email, or deep-diving a research PDF — hit ⌘J and Lazy shows you what you’ve already thought, written, or saved that’s relevant.
All without switching tabs. No need to copy/paste.
Just one command — and your knowledge shows up.
We believe this is a new way to think with your notes — not just store them.
We’re so excited to share this next chapter with you!
If you find yourself struggling to keep your focus or you're simply a lazy person constantly trying to find easier ways to do complicated things — join us, we've been waiting for you!

@techacc Thanks He, really appreciate it 🙌 We’re seeing a lot of executives, knowledge workers, and creatives who deal with constant context switching, love using Lazy as a way to stay in flow. Most use Lazy to capture insights from articles, videos and documents in real time — then revisit, distill key information and organize them when they’ve got space to think. It’s all about staying focused in the moment without losing what matters.
In truth, I think Lazy is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the constant stream of information and content fighting for your attention — it shouldn’t feel like work to capture what matters or make sense of it later, and that’s where we’ve seen the majority of users find Lazy especially helpful 🖤
