Company profile
researched Sep 2026Saner.AI is an AI productivity assistant that centralizes notes, emails, files and tasks in one workspace and is positioned specifically for people with ADHD, including entrepreneurs and knowledge workers. Users capture information via a Chrome extension, voice-to-text, or file upload and import, and the product applies AI to tag notes, suggest tags and folders, surface related past notes, and route incoming items into a "Smart Inbox." Search and synthesis are conversational: users can query across their own notes and files as well as the internet, ask for insights from selected documents, and write alongside their working documents without switching tabs.
The assistant layer is branded Skai. It functions both as a personal knowledge assistant — recalling and synthesizing saved notes and answering questions directly — and as a task assistant that extracts tasks automatically from emails and documents, converts brain dumps into plans, breaks tasks into steps, prioritizes and schedules them, sets reminders tailored to a user's schedule, checks in on progress, and suggests ways to complete them. Tasks can be viewed in a timeline/calendar view. The product integrates with Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, Slack and Notion to pull information automatically.
Saner.AI is distributed as a web app, a desktop app, and mobile apps on iOS and Android. The company states it emphasizes data privacy and security through encryption and user-controlled access settings; the Google Play listing reports data is encrypted in transit and that users can request data deletion, while the App Store listing discloses collection of contact info, user content, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics, some of which may be used for cross-app tracking.
Founding story
Saner.AI was built by people with ADHD who found that productivity tools were either too complex, increasing mental load, or too simple, forcing reliance on several apps. In late 2023 founder Galvin left his job to build the product; two other founders, Austin and Aiden, joined shortly afterwards and all three were full time by February 2024.
Business model
Software product sold direct to individual users, offered as a free app with in-app purchases and a paid standard tier, across web, desktop, iOS and Android.
Traction
The company states Saner.AI helps more than 100,000 professionals. The Android app shows over 50,000 downloads. The iOS app holds a 3.0 average rating from 13 ratings, with reviews praising proactive morning prioritization and brain-dump-to-task conversion and others reporting bugs, slowness and crashes.
Latest developments
The mobile app has shipped frequent releases, with version 1.12.2 dated May 7 on iOS and a Google Play listing updated 2026-05-05. Recent release notes cite bug fixes and performance improvements; the 1.0.1 note described better note editing, a redesigned home screen, tighter Google Drive integration and more accurate AI suggestions.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positions itself as an ADHD-specific alternative to general note-taking, knowledge-management and task tools; users cite switching from Notion, Google Docs and Obsidian, and the site claims it is the only notebook app with a folder system and emphasizes proactive, automatic prioritization rather than on-demand summaries.
Explicit design for ADHD users, a distraction-free interface, proactive surfacing of priorities and reminders without manual setup, and combination of note capture, knowledge retrieval, and task management in a single tool rather than separate apps.
Technology
AI assistant ("Skai") layered over a personal knowledge base: semantic search across a user's notes and files, cross-topic connection of information, automatic tagging and folder suggestion, surfacing of related notes, voice-to-text capture, task extraction from emails and documents, and internet search alongside user content. Integrations pull data from Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack and Notion. The company cites encryption and user-controlled access settings for data protection.
Go-to-market
Self-serve signup with no credit card required, distribution through the Apple App Store, Google Play and desktop app catalogs, a Chrome extension for capture, a Product Hunt launch referenced by users, and customer testimonials on the company site.
Individuals with ADHD and other knowledge workers, including entrepreneurs, marketers, researchers, learners and creators, who manage large volumes of notes, emails and tasks.
Geography
Developer entity Sanerai, Inc. lists an address at 2810 N Church St, Wilmington, DE 19802-4447, United States; the apps are offered in English and distributed globally through app stores.
History
The company says the idea came from the founders' own experience that existing note-taking apps and task managers added to, rather than reduced, the overwhelm of ADHD. In late 2023 Galvin quit his job to begin building what became Saner.AI; Austin and Aiden joined soon after, and by February 2024 all three founders were working on it full time. The mobile app reached version 1.0 on 2025-06-11 and has shipped regular releases since, reaching version 1.12.2 in May.
Risks & controversies
iOS reviewers report stability and usability problems, including slowness, inaccessible controls and crashes when editing tasks, contributing to a 3.0 average App Store rating across 13 ratings. The App Store privacy disclosure indicates contact info, user content, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics may be used to track users across other companies' apps and websites; Apple notes this information is unverified.
