Shortwave is a brand new email experience for your Gmail account. We’ve completely redesigned email from the ground up so you can bring order to the chaos and actually enjoy your inbox.
I've been using shortwave for the last couple months and i really love it. Congrats on this new launch. I moved on from Superhuman and switch to shortwave, great product!
Shortwave's been a solid antidote to my inbox. The AI stuff like Smart Summary is neat, but the actual value of Shortwave comes from reinforcing the GTD habits. Clean design, plenty of keyboard shortcuts, and a concrete vision.
But it's not perfect - I sometimes feel railroaded by the Smart Labels. It tends to be a bit over-eager in labeling since a lot of the logic is based on the email sender.
TLDR: if the GTD workflow appeals to you, Shortwave is probably a good bet.
I used Superhuman for years. I switched to Shortwave about six months ago. Superhuman has bells and whistles. Shortwave organizes emails in a way that allows me to process them quickly and intelligently in a way I never could before.
Once I got my bundles dialed in. I can open Shortwave and, at a glance, see the entire big picture of what's come in and instantly know where to put my attention next.
I also have whole categories of emails that Shortwave knows not to even both showing me until, say, Tuesday at 1pm.
Their AI alone has saved me lots of time. I'm not one to have an AI compose anything for me, but having it summarize long incoming emails is a godsend.
I HIGHLY recommend this app.
