Company profile
researched Aug 2026Shram is a macOS application positioned as an "AI inbox for incomplete conversations." It observes user activity across applications already installed on the Mac β including Gmail, Slack, WhatsApp, Google Meet and Calendar β to identify conversations where someone is awaiting a response, a check-in, or a meeting to be scheduled. The product is distributed as a direct download for Mac.
The workflow is described in three stages: the application detects conversations that require action, drafts an appropriate response using a memory layer that retains context across the user's activity, and then surfaces the drafted follow-up in an inbox where the user can execute it with a single button. The company states that no integrations are required for the application to work across a user's apps, and that the memory used to retain conversational history operates privately on-device. An example given is following up on a revised proposal promised two months earlier, with the drafted message reflecting the full prior history.
Business model
Shram distributes a downloadable macOS application directly to end users.
