Hey guys,

The #1 reason people abandon CRMs isn't missing features — it's friction. Nobody wants to spend 5 minutes typing client context into form fields after a coffee meeting or phone call.

I wanted a personal relationship tool that felt as fast as sending a quick voice message, so I built Shaks.

What makes it different:

• Voice Memos -> Relationship Data: Speak 15 seconds about your conversation. AI automatically tags client interests, promises made, and follow-up dates.

• Morning Coffee Digest ☕: A clean daily briefing of all follow-ups due today with 1-click batch outreach.

• Human-Sounding AI Drafts: Generates non-generic follow-ups tailored to your context, ready to send on WhatsApp or Email.

• WebRTC Card Scanner: Instant camera scanner for physical business cards.

• Spotlight Command Palette (Ctrl+K): Fast desktop search and quick action triggers.

Would love to hear how you manage your relationship pipeline on the go!

Been working on this solo for a while and I genuinely just want to know if it’s actually useful or if I’m solving a problem that doesn’t exist.

The idea: I kept hearing (and personally experiencing) the same thing — it’s never that you don’t have enough leads, it’s that you forget to follow up. You meet someone, things get busy, and 2 weeks later you either forgot entirely or you remember but don’t know what to even say anymore since the moment’s passed.

So I built Shaks — basically a dead-simple
CRM for people who don't want a CRM. No dashboards, no pipelines, none of that HubSpot-style bloat. Just:
• Add a contact (or scan their business card and it auto-adds them)
• It reminds you when to follow up
• AI writes the actual follow-up message for you based on context, so you're not staring at a blank text box
Built it mobile-first, 3 taps max for anything, no clutter.

What I want from this post honestly: tear it apart. Would you actually use this? Does the business card scan thing sound gimmicky or genuinely useful? What's missing that would make you go "ok yeah Id pay for this"? Or is this just a feature bolted onto Notion in disguise?

Not linking anything here, just want opinions before I sink more time into it.
