Small service business owner struggles with mental clutter and time waste from manually tracking client follow-ups, promises, blockers, and status across emails, notes, and conversations.

Existing tools require manual setup and maintenance; they don't provide a ready-made, purpose-built view that automatically surfaces clients needing follow-up, what was promised, and who is waiting on whom.
