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'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.

@acnebs Thanks Connor! It really does just take a few days to see a big difference ✨
