Hey there - Tabacitu, founder of Recurrr here 👋 Fun fact, this isn't the first time I built a product to solve this problem. In 2017 I built schedulethatemail.com - which died because it was Gmail-only, and they asked for a costly audit to keep using their API. I've re-written it from the ground up, made it work with any email provider... and I'm so happy I did. I can now send recurring emails again. Pfiew! I genuinely believe sending recurring emails is a GREAT idea. And I'm doing that myself, doing it since 2017. But I'm having a lot of trouble understanding why more people aren't doing this... Why it has never caught on as a productivity hack / technique. So if you try it out... or just look at the website... please let me know what you think, I'd love to hear what you think!

@tabacitu Hi Cristian, Love the backstory and persistence behind Recurrr! Automating recurring emails definitely seems like a productivity booster. Here are some thoughts and how I can help: - Providing clear examples and templates for common recurring email use cases (e.g., weekly team updates, monthly reports) could help users get started quickly. - Would Recurrr consider integrating with popular project management or CRM tools for streamlined workflow automation? As a developer, I'm interested in the technical aspects behind scheduling and sending recurring emails across different providers. If those align with my expertise (e.g., email APIs, workflow automation), I might be able to contribute to future integrations. Overall, Recurrr seems like a useful tool for automating repetitive email tasks. Providing use case examples and exploring integrations with other tools could enhance its value. I'd be interested to see how Recurrr evolves and potentially contribute to future development!

Congratulations on the launch! Are there any automations available? For example, I don't want to send a new email if we're already talking in another email thread.

@semanser great question! No automations at the moment, no - only barebones functionality to get started. Cool thing: we discovered that _a lot_ of automations can actually be avoided with one simple feature we're prioritizing - sending you a brief of all emails that will be sent. For example, on Sunday, get a list of all emails that will be sent. If you want to skip one, just click "Skip". Wouldn't that cover your need too?

Looks great! Can we also use it with Apple Mail? 🤔 Congrats on the launch 🚀

@crebuh good question - YES, you can. When you add a Channel, just select "iCloud" (that's what we called it but 🤔 perhaps we should reconsider). It will automatically populate the SMTP credentials and give you a link to instructions on how to create an App Password. Then we can send emails from your @me.com or @icloud.com address... and NOBODY will be able to tell they're not manual.

@tabacitu Hmm I see, but we use Apple Mail like others use Outlook on Windows to manage multiple email accounts, some of which are gmail accounts (mostly private) and others hosted on providers like hetzner and so on. So I'm not sure if this will work.

@crebuh oooh I understand. It would work, yes. But you’ll have to set up each account in Recurrr (we call them channels - one channel for your Gmail, one channel for your Hetzner etc).
