lucky

the inbox that listens to the people in your life.

lucky reads your imessage and whatsapp the way a close friend would. it catches what people mention in passing, remembers it for you, and comes back with the reply, the plan or the intro already written. you just show up.

free while it's early · needs a mac signed in to imessage · your messages never leave it

Lucky's inbox: Priority rows at the top of the sidebar, Sarah's thread open, and the reply already typed and selected in the message box

it notices.

people tell you things in passing. lucky keeps every one.

a flight on the 10th. demo day in three weeks. a new job, a rough week, a surgery. none of it lands on your calendar, so it slips. lucky reads your chats for these moments as they're said and brings each one back when it matters: a good luck the night before, a how-was-it after, with the message already written the way you'd write it.

Emily's thread: she said she was flying to Tokyo. Lucky brings it back after the trip, with 'you're back!! how was tokyo' already typed as a reply to that message
The Catch ups list: Emily back from Tokyo, Maya joined Susa Ventures, Daniel back from Lagos, James launched Clearline

it already knows what you'd say.

when someone's waiting on you, the reply is already in the box.

lucky learns how you text each person. how short, how lowercase, which words, how you say yes. when a thread needs you, the reply is typed and selected before you open it. enter sends it. typing replaces it. nothing ever goes out on its own.

Sarah asks 'can you bring my charger'. The message box already holds 'yeah i'll grab it, leaving at 6', selected

it remembers what you promised.

"let me think about it" has a shelf life. lucky keeps it.

said you'd get back to someone? that's priority: the people waiting on you, at the top of your inbox, each with the follow-up drafted and sent as a reply to the thing they asked. the overdue ones, the plans that need a time, the one you were mentioned in.

The Priority section of the sidebar: Ravi's call tomorrow at 7, Maya's dinner Thursday, a mention in SF Dinner, a new message from James, and the promise to Nina
Nina's thread: a bar says 'You told Nina you'd think about who'd be good for her design role', and the follow-up is typed as a reply to that message

plans make themselves.

say a time. they say yes. it's on the calendar.

the moment a chat settles on a time, the event is one click, already checked against your calendar. for a call, lucky makes the google meet room and texts them the link in the same click. the time, the place, the person: all read off the chat.

Maya: 'btw i'm coming to sf oct 6-10, we should finally do that dinner'. You: 'yes!! let's lock something in'. A card: Dinner with Maya, Thursday 7:00 to 8:30 PM at Nopa, Free then, Add to Calendar

a new number texts you.

lucky finds who it is.

it reads the chat for clues, finds their x and linkedin, shows you the face, and asks. say that's them and their profile is filled in from then on. if it's someone you already know on the other network, lucky says so and keeps them as one person.

Sam Okafor, new conversation. Lucky found three people with that name and asks which one: a software engineer in Toronto, a PhD student at MIT, a realtor in Austin

your people, as a world.

everyone you talk to, on one globe.

the more you text someone, the bigger they are. ask it who to talk to, "who should i talk to about hiring a bio scientist", and the right people light up, each with the reason.

The Sphere: faces sized by how much you talk. A search for 'who should I talk to about hiring a bio scientist' lights up Priya, Emily and Ravi with reasons

the intro you'd never get around to.

lucky notices who should meet, and makes the intro in one click.

from what people tell you and what they post, lucky proposes intros worth making, with the reason and three drafts in your voice. 1-click intro makes the group chat. or go double opt-in: it asks both sides for you, watches both threads, and lights up when they both say yes.

A suggested intro: Priya Sharma and Daniel Osei. Priya is raising a seed round for her bio-tools company; Daniel just joined Susa as a principal. Buttons: 1-Click Intro, Double Opt-In Intro
A banner with a rainbow outline: Priya and Daniel are both down to meet each other. 1-Click Intro

why lucky

the luckiest people i know aren't lucky. they just remember. they text you the night before the exam. they know who you should meet before you do. they say "let me think about it" and then actually come back.

i wanted that to be the default, not a personality trait. so lucky is an inbox that does the remembering, and leaves you the part that matters: showing up.

it's early, it's free, and i'm building it from my own texts. if something feels off, tell me.

on your mac, only.

your messages don't leave the machine.

lucky is a mac app, not a service. it reads the messages this mac already has, and sends through the apps you already use.

imessage, read in place

lucky reads this mac's messages database read-only and sends through messages.app. no apple password ever goes into lucky.

whatsapp as a linked device

scan the code once, like whatsapp for mac. lucky talks to whatsapp directly, with nothing in between.

nothing sends itself

every message is a click or an enter from you. the drafts are suggestions, and you can see each one before it goes.

your own model key

the writing runs on a key you add, kept in your keychain. only the thread being answered is sent to the model, and nothing is used to train anything.

questions

what does lucky actually do?
it's your imessage and whatsapp inbox, on your mac, with one difference: it pays attention. it notices moments people mention, remembers what you said you'd do, settles plans onto your calendar, identifies new numbers, and finds intros worth making. and when a reply is owed, it's already typed in your voice.
does it send anything on its own?
no. every message leaves because you pressed enter or clicked send. the drafts sit in the message box, selected, so you can read them first and type over them.
what does it need from my mac?
a mac signed in to imessage. the first open walks you through the system permissions one at a time, with the reason beside each: full disk access to read messages, automation to send through messages.app, contacts for names and faces, notifications for banners. whatsapp is optional and pairs by scanning a code.
where do my messages go?
nowhere. they stay in the databases this mac already has. when lucky writes a draft or reads a chat for moments, only that thread goes to the model, on a key you provide. there's no lucky server holding your messages.
how does it know how i text?
from your own sent messages, per person. how long you write, whether you start lowercase, how you punctuate, which short forms you use, how you say yes. the model writes what to say; your measured habits shape how it reads.
what's the sphere?
everyone you talk to on a slowly turning globe, sized by how much you talk. add someone's x or linkedin and lucky builds their profile. then you can ask it questions in plain words and the right people light up.
what does it cost?
nothing while it's early. you bring your own model key, which costs cents a day at normal texting volume.

get lucky.

the people in your life, and the lines between them. for the mac, free while it's early.
