Thanks for hunting us Kevin! 👋 Hey Product Hunt, Roland here, Co-Founder at Acapela. You might know me from Dubsmash, which was acquired by Reddit in 2020. My Co-Founder Heiki and I started working on Acapela during the pandemic. We wanted to build a tool that made remote work calmer and more focused. 🔴 The problem Most of us get pulled in two opposing directions at work. We need time to focus and solve hard problems. But we also have to be available on tools like Slack to avoid blocking our colleagues. Usually, we sacrifice quality work time for the sake of being responsive. That means our days get filled with ‘busy work,’ and we feel unproductive and behind on everything. There are lots of manual ways of building in deep work to your week - blocking out time in your calendar, 'Focus Wednesdays,' meeting batching etc.. But these still rely on a certain level of willpower to stay out of your work tools. We wanted to create a tool that took willpower out of the equation. You stay responsive to the things that count, without the interruptions, FOMO and context switching. 🟢 The solution Acapela is the central inbox for all your work tools. It makes sure you receive all your scattered notifications and comments directly in one place. There you can set filters to prioritize the important things and respond to them directly out of your inbox. No more switching tabs or losing oversight of what you need to do. Less disruptions and a more efficient workflow means more time for quality work. An integrated inbox gives you a high-level view of all your work communication, without needing to check multiple apps or deal with email spam. We currently integrate with Slack, Notion, Gmail, Linear, Jira, Asana, Google Drive, Clickup and Figma - and many more to come! You can also add multiple Slack or Notion workspaces, to avoid jumping between different contexts all day. Custom filters decide which notifications you want to respond to first. You respond to the things that matter most, focusing on the signal rather than the noise. An Inbox Zero-style workflow makes it simple to triage everything by either Replying, Snoozing or Resolving your items. We’ve designed it keyboard-first to make it silky smooth and lightning fast. --- We're just getting started building powerful workflows, collaborative features, automations and expanding to more tools. Long story short: check out http://acapela.com We can't wait to hear what you think! ////////////////////// SPECIAL PH LAUNCH DEAL - ONLY TODAY ////////////////////// Everyone who registers today will get a guaranteed invite AND free access for 12 months on our Premium plan.

@fares_aktouf Amazing, thanks Fares! Yeah we find teams that do a lot of internal communicating - sales / marketing / ops / product - are often a good fit.

@rogrenke Acapela can definitely save a lot of time from switching between apps. And make sure you don't forget to answer to some high priority messages. I love the interface design. Congratulations for creating it Roland and good luck with the launch
