Snailbox has been a game-changer for enabling deep work. It allows me to set aside specific times when I want to get emails. Control your email, don't let your email control you.

I've been using Snailbox for a few months and it has TOTALLY changed my relationship with my inbox for the better. Don't let the simplicity of this idea fool you, it's really a game changer. If you're someone who is compulsive about checking email and keeping a tidy inbox this is hands down the best way to make your inbox a calm, productive place. Only thing I really want is a way to add a couple of VIP addresses who I can designate skip the batching filter, but in reality the people who I'd add to that filter also have my phone number and would text or call in a real emergency. I'd say that this app is like meditation: the more you *think* you don't need it, the more you actually need it.

Thanks, Alex! Great to hear that it's having such a positive impact for you. That filtering idea is the next feature on the way!

This is one of my life hacks. I have set Snailbox to deliver my emails early every week day (Monday-Friday). Then I do a quick Inbox 0 and don’t have to care about email until the next workday. Before Snailbox I’ve tried checking email less frequently but I always found myself reading email when I needed to search my emails or just send one. This app is great for peace of mind.

Hello, Product Hunt! 👋 I built Snailbox to scratch my own itch. I was juggling multiple client projects and trying to carve out time for working on side projects and my inbox was a huge distraction. So easy to check my email and end up down the rabbit hole. Tim Ferriss talked about batching his email at 11am and 4pm way back in the 4-Hour Workweek, so this isn't a new idea. Snailbox can help you carve out more time for deep work on any schedule you want. So now, I get all of my email at 4pm every day. I can do my Inbox Zero thing once a day and focus on development work without worrying about distractions. The feeling of waking up to an empty inbox is pretty great once you try it. Now that's pretty extreme and won't work for everyone, but I think a lot of people could benefit from batching their email at set times instead of dealing with messages one by one as they come in. Even if your Inbox Zero skills are top notch or you turn off your email completely, it can still be distracting at times. Snailbox is still in early access mode and there are more features on the way, but the basic idea works well and I'd love to have you to try it out and give me your feedback! Let me know if you have any questions!

Looks like a cool idea and product. Are you planning to open it up for other email providers as well?

@gregmolnar Thanks, Greg! I would love to work on an IMAP integration eventually, but right now the app works entirely through the Gmail API. Hoping to connect with Gmail users who find their inbox to be a distraction from their "real work".
