So excited to finally see this product out in the world! Back in 2020, I wrote a blog post called "A Meta-Layer for Notes"¹ that argued that note taking apps were fundamentally broken: The process of taking notes shouldn't happen in a siloed tool, but fluidly across the OS without the need to switch...
So excited to finally be able to reveal how you can integrate AI to your very own worklow thanks to a simple shortcut. And the crazy thing is that it's just the tip of the iceberg, there's so much you can do with Lazy. Can't wait to hear everyone's feedback 🙌
Omg! The world was in need of this for a long time! 🤩😮🫶
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Chanwoo, the founder of Whatting a diary app built for the way we actually live today. Whatting was born from a simple frustration: "Why hasn't the diary fully gone digital yet?" If you’ve ever tried journaling on your iPad, you’ve probably run into one (or all) of these: 🔍 D...
Congrats on the launch @chanwoo_kim . The product looks very well built and really useful! I'll be a user for sure.
Congratulations on the launch 🚀
Lazy leads on raw interest score. Lazy leads on engagement ratio. Lazy leads on both metrics. That doesn't happen often.
These products share 2 categories: Notes, Productivity. Moderate overlap suggests they target related but distinct use cases.
Lazy is also tagged in Artificial Intelligence, which Whatting isn't. That suggests Lazy positions itself more broadly or targets an adjacent audience.
Whatting has unique category tags in iPad. Different positioning can mean a different buyer profile, even within the same space.
Lazy launched Jul 2023. Whatting launched Apr 2025. Lazy has had more time to iterate and build a user base. Whatting had the advantage of launching into a more defined market with clearer user expectations.
Pick Lazy if you want the product with the larger community behind it; sustained discussion and active users are your priority; you value stability and a longer track record; you need something that also covers Artificial Intelligence.
Pick Whatting if community size matters less to you than engagement depth; you prefer newer tools with fresher tech; you need something that also covers iPad.
Lazy: Context switching is poison for productivity. When you get that brilliant idea or see something inspiring, you should be able to take smart notes without switching app or tabs. That’s Lazy. One ⌘ shortcut to capture anywhere.

Comparisons are generated automatically when two products have enough data overlap. If the pair you want isn't here, the products might be in different categories or too far apart in engagement.
Either the product didn't meet our engagement threshold, or it doesn't share enough category tags with the other product to generate a meaningful comparison. We'd rather show no comparison than a misleading one.
Each product's data reflects its launch period. The comparison shows both products' engagement metrics from when they launched. The build date at the bottom of the page shows when the index was last refreshed.
Not yet. Current comparisons use launch-period data only. Post-launch tracking is on our roadmap.
Generally, yes. Engagement ratio is hard to fake. A product can generate artificial interest, but sustained discussion threads require people who actually used the product and had something to say about it.
Automatically. We compare products that share at least one category and have similar interest scores. Products too far apart in traction don't make for useful comparisons.
