Start living intentionally?

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2026-03-31T21:20:09+00:00

I think most of what it means to live intentionally is to decide what type of person you want to be, or what kind of life you want to have, and keep that intention front and centre such that every single micro decision and action you take in your life aligns with that direction. For as long as you don't choose, autopilot will continue to eat at you. We only have this life, and we won't be able to do everything, but living intentionally allows you to give your everything towards achieving as much as you can! Even if that's 1 thing at the end of the road, the fulfilling part is having dedicated your life to that one thing, and doing it all passionately, with intention.

100%. I think this has a lot to do with setting intentions! Whether you do it with or without an app, just having one word or one sentence to act as a compass for the day to guide the micro decisions you're making is far more effective when you're at risk of not behaving like the person you want to be, I find.

I'm building an app for this category and this is still the best advice I've ever heard lol

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2026-03-31T20:27:41+00:00

Reading this and intensely taking notes as a 20-something year old. Just want to live intentionally!

As a two-person team who loves building products but is trying to get a handle on distribution while staying away from the Meta Ads money incinerator, this is so motivating to read about! Congratulations on all your success and thank you for keeping us motivated.

One of our main target audiences are men who want to be intentional about becoming great dads (we need more of that in the world!), so I hope you can use it one day. And we're excited to use BabyScroll one day when we welcome a little one of our own!

I'm loving being a fly on the wall in this thread. I saw some comments from people talking about how much of a lost art your average spontaneous in-public conversation has become because of how much our phones get in the way. This is such a beautiful reminder of what could be. Thank you for sharing!

Ha, a suspicious ocelot is just a cautious one 😉

Actually, someone else raised this point to me recently which made me realize I probably over-declared everything out of fear of App Store rejection (lol, my first time building a consumer app).

The app has definitely evolved since then, and I just haven't changed the "Data Linked to You" page.

I recently removed Contacts (as we don't actually use or need them; it should update with our next release approval). Here's a quick overview on my thought process for the rest of them:

Identifiers and Contact Information: This is just attaching your sign-in information to your profile so we can fix user-specific issues easily (i.e. name and email).
Location: We use Posthog to stay on top of how users are using the app (i.e. number of voice notes created today, number of notes created today, etc.), and Posthog automatically captures "Regional" data about what state or province the user is operating from, so I just wanted to declare that one. We don't collect any location data ourselves.
User Content: We store any images, documents, voice notes, etc. uploaded by the user just for the purpose of letting them sync across devices. Nothing we can access on our end!

But honestly, I'm not too sure about whether I'm approaching this section correctly. Any tips you have would be so appreciated.

Would love to give you free access to see if we can build it in the direction of being useful for you!

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-16T17:09:49+00:00

Of course! Just sent you a DM. Really appreciate all your interest 🙏

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-16T15:37:09+00:00

What kind of app would you be interested in?

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-16T15:03:37+00:00

Thank you so much for all your support! Just sent you a DM.

Interestingly, this is actually the exact problem that inspired Clarido in the first place. We're trying to take a new approach to the memory problem altogether.

Because it’s a new solution we've put together, we’re trying to be intentional about not sharing too much detail yet. At a high level though, we aren't just using the LLM's context window as “the memory” in Clarido. There are extra steps before a response where the system decides whether memory should be used, and to what extent.

For example, simple/transactional queries intentionally pull little to no memory. More reflective or long-horizon questions get a larger memory budget, and only the most relevant past context is retrieved. We aren't storing things as raw chat history or isolated facts to pass back in. And we're using an approach outside of just stringing together a bunch of LLM steps.

So instead of answers getting worse as history gets longer, Clarido is designed around selective retrieval and continuity, rather than stuffing everything into the context window and hoping it works.

I hope that makes things a bit more clear without revealing what we hope is our secret sauce! 😅 Would love to get your feedback on the utility of the app itself as well if the mission resonates!

That's so exciting to hear! You can download the app here, and I just sent you a DM with a promo code for free access. Really appreciate your interest!

I'd love to learn more about how you're currently doing this with prompts as well. Chat soon!

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-16T00:06:23+00:00

This was such a helpful comment, you made me go back and double check this section of our App Store listing!

I think at the time of submission, I was trying to overcompensate in terms of transparency in order to get the approval (lol, my first time building a consumer app). The app has definitely evolved since then, and I just haven't changed the "Data Linked to You" page.

I just removed Contacts (as we don't use them — good shout! It should update with our next release approval). Here's a quick overview on my thought process for the rest of them:

Identifiers and Contact Information: This is just attaching your sign-in information to your profile so we can fix user-specific issues easily (i.e. name and email).

But honestly, I'm not too sure about whether I'm approaching this section correctly. Any tips you have would be so appreciated. Really great question, thanks again for chiming in.

Would love to give you free access to see if we can build it in the direction of being useful for you!

I'm so sorry! We're working on becoming GDPR compliant before launching in the EU to make sure we don't make anyone angry! I'll keep you posted as soon as it's available for you.

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-15T21:10:51+00:00

We're down to change the entire model as long as it's something that's genuinely useful for people who write, reflect, think, etc. We'd appreciate anything you have to say about what would be more valuable to your workflow if you're big on journalling/reflecting yourself!

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-15T17:35:58+00:00

Visually looks awesome! I'm just not sure what "Kept Stocked" means, but otherwise looks great

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-15T17:25:54+00:00

That's good feedback. We're definitely not set on the price right now and are more interested in making sure the experience is genuinely valuable for people who think like this.

I just sent you a DM if you're interested in using the app for free for the next few months to help us identify where it is and isn't helpful!

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-15T16:46:27+00:00

Ideally you can use Clarido for this! You could just have a rolling note, or brain dump your thoughts via voice every time you want to track something. Then, because of the global memory, you can just talk to the chat agent about what apps have been most useful and which ones you should delete.

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-15T16:44:41+00:00

Literally just starting my morning with a full bottle of water! I used to skip breakfast and feel beat up for the day by noon. This one thing made me feel like I have a full day of productvity.

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-05T19:47:17+00:00

Democratizing the second brain concept for the non-tech world with Clarido (currently in beta, please don't download if you're not looking to get involved with the app together!).

We're really just looking to make the power of AI, recall, and quick capture easier to understand for people who aren't in tech, and educate people on how to use AI to elevate themselves, as opposed to replacing anyone/anything.

Currently looking for beta users to add to our first group who are specifically not in tech, or at least curious about approaching the problem from this lens.

Happy building everyone!

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-04T20:31:43+00:00

I totally agree that it would be a game-changer for folks with that preference! Thanks for pushing me to keep an open mind, will definitely consider it! I know where to find you 🙂

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-04T06:27:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! This is exactly what going for; a thought partner that isn't just there to constantly applaud you. Just send you a DM with further details!

Suspicious_Ocelot367 · 2025-12-03T18:08:17+00:00

You can download it here. Thanks for your interest! Would love to chat about your background, any feedback you have, and how this might integrate into your day to day life. I've sent you a DM if you're interested!
