They texted last, and you’ve been meaning to reply. Stower keeps it in view instead of letting it scroll away — and floats the real asks above the small talk.

Why I made this
I got a text from 76 days ago: someone had asked me if I wanted to continue organizing a series of events. I still haven’t answered. It wasn’t the right time for me, but I intended to let them know instead of forgetting about it.
I made Stower by myself, so the texts that matter doesn’t slip again. It runs on your Mac. I can’t see your messages. The source is public, so you don’t have to take my word for it.
Everyone has one.
It wasn’t that you didn’t care, your inbox just forgot.
iMessages is one long list with no memory of what you meant to do. The reply you intended scrolls off the top and out of mind. Stower keeps it close, so you can get back to people when you’re ready.
Two lists. Both worth your time.
You texted last and never heard back. Stower remembers, so you can remember to nudge people instead of wondering who went quiet.
But... we don’t need to reply to all acknowledgements. Stower knows the difference! It finds the one that actually needed you, and stays quiet about the rest. No badge to clear, no guilt machine.
It never leaves your Mac.
On-device Apple Intelligence reads your messages and decides what actually needs a reply. Nothing is uploaded. No account, no cloud, no servers.
Source is public — audit it yourself. Polyform Noncommercial.

Good to know.
What do I get when I pay, and will it keep working?
Yes. We keep version 0 stable and ship minor updates — fixes and improvements — to it, free. The next major version (version 1) will be a separate, paid release that adds new functionality version 0 doesn’t have — if and when it ships. We’re not promising a date. You’re never forced to upgrade: version 0 keeps working for as long as you want, and you only pay again if you decide you want what version 1 adds.
Can I buy an older version?
We only ever sell the current version. Once version 1 is out, version 0 is no longer for sale — but everyone who already owns it keeps it.
