I've been a fan of Tempo since their 1.x versions, and v2 really fine-tuned the experience. This is what email should be - a tool. All other email clients are built with UX/UI that treat them like a social media product where they're trying to get you to spend as much time in them as possible. Tempo does the opposite. 3 things I love about it in summary: 1. Batched email notifications. No more getting disturbed by incoming emails. It allows you to focus on actual work and go through your emails at preset times as a batch. 2. The minimalist design. The greyscale tones are really soothing and don't distract. 3. Compose & Focus UI: The full screen focused views when you're composing or going through your to-do's (with the side-by-side view) are brilliant.

Thanks, @ugmonk for hunting! Hey, Product Hunt community! Roughly a year ago, we launched Tempo on Product Hunt and were blown away by all of your support. Since then, the team has doubled in size - from four to eight – and Tempo has gone through some significant changes that we believe further enforce the app's purpose. With Tempo, we're not trying to push the idea of getting things done quicker. Tempo is designed to help you build healthier email habits and provide a calming space for you to feel in control of your time and your emails. Over the past six months, we hit the drawing board and worked on a redesign that further enforces everything we care about. Now, it's finally time to share Tempo 2! How will Tempo 2 help you? 💌 1. You'll check your inbox less: Tempo bundles new email together and delivers it in batches based on a schedule customized by you. 2. You'll effortlessly sort through your inbox: Make quick decisions on new email, marking everything you need to focus on as To do. 3. You'll never lose track of your important email: By having a separate space for your To dos, replying feels less overwhelming. 4. You'll enjoy writing emails: Focus mode offers a calming writing experience, away from distractions. Thanks everyone for taking the time to check out Tempo 2; it means a lot. We love talking with the community and listening to feedback, so don't be a stranger. Ps. We want to address some of the reluctances, such as: Where's Tempo mobile?: Building a great mobile client is hard. We're still working on it and are excited to share it with you all as soon as possible. But, we're excited to say that it's on its way. Sign up for Tempo mobile alerts: https://airtable.com/shrptvjsomv... Why will Tempo cost $15?: With Tempo being such a niche product, the price point needs to be around the 15$ mark for it to be sustainable. Tempo isn't for everyone, and that's okay. Why only Gmail-compatible?: It's the easiest platform to build the Tempo concept initially. We'll port over to others at some point for sure.

I've been using Tempo 2 for a few weeks and am loving it! The minimalist, distraction-free interface actually makes email "feel" more enjoyable to process (sounds crazy, but once you try it you get it). Tempo offers a more mindful approach to email which has helped me to better manage my inbox. Out of all of the email clients I've tried over the years, this is the only one that's stuck for me.

I love the minimalist design without frills

looks really very simple and casual good job

I have been Tempo beta tester since the beginnings of Tempo 1 and I'm impressed how Tempo team is improving it every update. Tempo has the best experience of every mail app I have seen. Lack of distractions and minimalist interface has really helped me in reaching Inbox Zero. I'm recommending it to everyone who wants a unique experience with e-mails.

I will be a paid subscriber, as soon as iCloud is supported :-)

Fantastic...! I am a big fan (also a bit biased as I know the guys). But, honestly it is now very weird to go back to gmail. Especially the sorting mechanism is priceless for me. Now I get to inbox zero approx 1 time a week. Huge! Though still forced into gmail on mobile, but thats coming. One thing though that I have lacked is reminders to follow up if a mail has not been answered... is that in the pipeline?

This is exactly how I choose to use email. Love that the client matches the mindset I want to have as well. Please support Outlook soon, love!

I always push Tempo when I talk with people who is working to improve their daily focus and is concerned about their attention budget.

Is there a more definitive release date of mobile? I love tempo but it’s already been over a year since the mobile version was previewed and announced. I wish I could use Tempo more, but honestly managing an email client for desktop and a separate one for mobile has caused various organization issues that cancel out the benefits that came along with Tempo in the first place. I’d be more inclined to purchase tempo 2 if I knew there was a definitive solution to that issue.

Great email experience. Although I'm not quite the demographic, loved the product and the experience. It felt similar to Superhuman, in a way, but with a focus on bringing calm to my day, not just relentless efficiency.

Tempo is a superb, stripped-back product that very much achieves what it sets out to do. Productivity increases through using the batch approach and the ability to work across multiple different Gmail accounts is seamless. The team are responsive and engaged, and seem to care about the customer experience. Once they add mobile and calendar support this thing is going to completely eliminate numerous pesky chrome tabs for me, but ultimately improve my email and calendar workflow 10x 👏

Tempo used to make my workday so much calmer back when I worked at a company that used Gmail. Now that I don't use Gmail, I can't enjoy Tempo anymore. 😢 (Thankfully, I also get fewer emails but still.)

This looks great! Congrats on the launch!

User interface seems very good and calm.

Ohh, I love this. I'm a Gmail/GSuite user so this was meant for me. I love the way it's asking me to have better email habits but not requiring it. Plus, give me a minimalist design any day. It's pretty. The functions are nice and intuitive. I downloaded this morning and can already see Tempo making an impact on the email overwhelm I feel.

Really enjoying tempo! Helps with a distraction free environment, motivates me to be more productive.

oh I love the sound of this, calming email. the relentless notifications - batch email sounds brilliant for getting your head down. definitely going to try
