Frictionless micro-commitment capture tool
I keep forgetting little things I agree to during the day. Any system that actually works?
Okay so this is kinda specific but maybe someone gets it. I don’t really struggle with focus. My issue is smaller. During calls, Slack, and email I say yes to random stuff like “I’ll send that tonight” or “I’ll look at this tomorrow.” Then the day just keeps going and I forget until someone pings me later. I’ve tried to-do apps. The problem is I almost never stop in the moment to write the task down, so the list never matches real life. Looking for a simple workflow that catches these follow-ups without creating more work. What’s actually worked for you?

The idea
A system or integration that captures 'I'll do X' commitments from Slack, email, and calls in real-time without requiring the user to manually stop and log them.
Why it scored high
The user identifies a specific failure of current to-do apps: they require too much manual effort at the moment of commitment, leading to forgotten tasks.
