Hey Product Hunt! Long time no see! 😄 ✨ What’s new? ✨ Today we have an exciting new feature to share with you - Inbox Shield ✨ 🛡️ What is Inbox Shield? 🛡️ Inbox Shield is a screener for your inbox. The first time a sender emails you, you get to choose if you want to receive their emails, or block them forever! (You can think of it like Hey’s screener, but for your existing email address) 👩‍💻 When you enable Inbox Shield you can choose to either; - ☑️ Allow all new emails and selectively choose which you want to block. We provide several automatic blocklists to make this easier. - ❌ Or block all new emails, and choose which you want to allow (our favorite option 😉). This is a crazy effective way of reducing the number of emails you receive after just a few days 💌 Each day we’ll send you an email digest detailing the emails that have been blocked in the last 24 hours, so that you can decide what you want to do with them. 🤖 Each new email is categorised by our blocklists into spam, social, or cold-emails. You can also tell Shield to auto-block any email that you already unsubscribed from (in case they continue to email you 😈), or create your own custom blocklists. 🔕 Do-not-disturb mode 🔕 If you need to focus, our Do-not-disturb mode lets you set schedules during which you wont receive any new emails. We’ll hold onto your mail during these times, and deliver them when your schedule ends. It’s perfect if you’re like me and get distracted by every new email while you’re trying to write code 😅. Even the thought that I can’t receive any emails until the start of the next work day gives me peace of mind 😌 ⏰ Priority Senders ⏰ If you have emails that you need to receive as soon as they arrive then you can add them to your Priority Senders list. These will skip the screener, all blocklists, and your do-not-disturb schedule, and land in your inbox immediately. --- 👫 What's our backstory? Just over 3 years ago we shared Leave Me Alone with you! It was a simple proof-of-concept that allowed you to easily unsubscribe from emails, and it was well received! We even won the Golden Kitty award! ✨ After working steadily in our spare time on improvements, around 1 year ago we launched a big new feature - Rollups. This allows you to roll up your newsletters into digests and get them delivered as a single email once per week or daily. This brought us to feature parity with our competitors, and propelled us into being a profitable company! Product Hunt also generously awarded us with a Maker Grant worth $5000! 💸💸💸💸💸 This last year has again been an exciting ride (for many reasons)! We reached $2000 MRR, and hit 1,000,000 total emails unsubscribed, and even made our first part-time hire - welcome to the team @aleks_muse! Looking back we want to thank you all for your support over the years, it’s been wild and we couldn’t have gotten this far without you believing in us, and with Product Hunt’s support! ❤️ To say thank you, today we’re offering 40% OFF ALL of our yearly plans for the first YEAR! Just use the coupon PH40OFF at checkout 🏷️ 📖 Epilogue Thanks again to everyone for trying Inbox Shield, and as always thanks to our beta testers for helping us work out the bugs! P.S. James will be tweeting about the results of using Inbox Shield at blocking all the cold-emails we always get after a product launch 😜 --- If you have any feedback or questions we’ll be here all day. If we don’t get back to you, we have probably gone to sleep (as we’re UTC+7) and we’ll check the comments and reply tomorrow 😊

I am going to openly admit that when I first heard about LeaveMeAlone, I thought to myself "No way that an app can do everything they said on the tin - sounds too good to be true" and I didn't venture further. Then I started seeing friends online talking about what a difference it made to their email management, so yesterday I relented and signed up and threw down the challenge. "Go head, make my life better..." I said to the app, with a steely side-eye stare. And... It did... Not only does it do what it says on the tin, it does more. I hadn't realised what a bundle of stress my Inbox was. LeaveMeAlone has reduced a sweaty rush hour traffic jam to a pleasant business class ride with snacks. It took everything I threw at it with a knowing smile and returned it back to me neatly folded on a silver tray like Jenkins the butler user to. The interface is a delight, and it sure does some heavy lifting behind the scenes that I didn't think was possible. Great product. I switched to a paid plan the same day I signed up for a trial.

But what if I will really get to inherit a billion-dollar fortune after I send a bitcoin to this stranger that sent me an email? No more opportunities like that? :) Congrats on the launch, @dinkydani21, and @jamesivings! Great product!

yooo the star couple is back, great to see this new update. Leave me alone is just getting better and better ❤️ congratulations on the launch 🚀

Really cool new feature. Congrats @dinkydani21 and @jamesivings !

Congrats on the launch!! Do-not-disturb mode looks like a game changer for my anxiety 😂 Is there any way to only block emails temporarily from a select domain? Ie: I don't want to receive work emails for a specific set of time but all other emails are ok?

Great product! Congrats on the launch! Clear email = happy life! :)

Leave me alone is an awesome project! It works really well (and the design is incredible too!) Congrats on launching the Inbox Shield feature - It sounds awesome and I can't wait to try it! Let's gooo!! 🥳

Brilliant idea! :D

Bye-bye 👋 HEY I don't need to create a new email account now. awesome work 🙌

Big fan of you guys and your journey! Wishing you a great launch :)

Ah, the days of being harassed by recruiters and outsourcing lead gen offers is over 😵 Inbox Shield looks awesome!

Nice but imo extremely overpriced... $3/mo. is it for me

Didn't use your product yet but I love the way you're communicating. Will try to do the same for my projects also. Also I think I will get tempted by your 7 weeks 7$ offer Good luck!

Looks cool!

Great way to take control of the Inbox. Will give it a try once the cold emails start to kick in :)

Looks really interesting! Congrats on the launch 🎉

I've been using Leave Me Alone's new Inbox Shield feature for only a few days but I am already seeing the benefit! As someone with a variety of email accounts from various different providers, it's great being able to define rules to screen all those inboxes in one place.
