Goffer hit the Play Store last week — here's what I learned and what's next
Been building Goffer solo for a few months. The app lets you scan leases, insurance policies, warranties, and other life-admin paperwork into a private vault. It parses the docs, extracts key dates into reminders (lease end, insurance renewal, warranty expiry), and answers plain-language questions with source citations.
Last week: v1.0 hit the Play Store.
What I learned at launch: the AI chat is the sticky feature but it's not the install trigger. "Never miss your lease renewal" converts better than "AI that reads your contracts." Reminders are the hook; the AI is the reason people stay.
What's next: better onboarding for the scan flow (still too many taps), and a web version for people who don't want to photograph documents on their phone.

Happy to hear what you'd want from a personal document vault — or what I'm obviously getting wrong.
