Adios.ai - Stop email interruptions, receive emails 3 times a day

by
•

Say Adiós to unnecessary interruptions!

How it works:

1. Emails only get delivered into your inbox at the times you specify (e.g. 7am, 1pm and 5pm).

2. Choose email exceptions, which will always be delivered immediately (e.g. grandma@gmail.com)

3. Need to access an email urgently? No problem - just click 'Deliver emails now' in Adiós.

Cool, so our day of being featured on Product Hunt is over. Just thought I'd mention to anyone who ends up here that being 'hunted' was incredibly useful. Not only did a bunch of people sign up to Adios, but we also received lots of pertinent questions that revealed the concerns many of our potential users have about signing up. Some were obvious (e.g. Does Adios access the contents of my emails? No, it doesn't), but others we just wouldn't have thought of by ourselves (e.g. Will Adios mess up my existing filters? No, it won't). We can now address these on our homepage and ensure that future visitors have all the information they need to get started with Adios. Being featured here was a fun, action-packed, and incredibly educational experience 😃 To anyone starting a business, I totally recommend taking full advantage of community-driven launchpads like PH.

If Google doesn't add this, I'd be worried about a developer making an add-on. it is a time-based rule that diverts e-mails to folder and then dumps them back to the inbox at certain times.

Pros:

Useful idea

Cons:

I'd be worried that Google will add this to Gmail someday.

This seems really useful. Definitely going to give it a try. Nice work!

@beekay__ Great, thanks Bilal!

If you value your time and work you need big, focused time intervals to focus and creative thinking. Connection to the network should be restricted to 1 hour 1-3 times per day max for email, phone calls, and whatever social crap you are stuck into.

Pros:

Good idea to stay focused.

Cons:

Email is not enough.

Freedom.to is a great tool for blocking entire websites.

Hi Harry, I used this product and then when I disabled it, its messed with my config in gmail.. now many emails to skipping my inbox, going into "All Mail" and I have no idea how to resolve?

correction, emails are now skipping the inbox and going directly to the "important" folder. I've tried a host of things and nothing has worked. Very frustrating that my inbox was working perfectly before this install and now not..

hey @jared_molko1 . Super sorry to hear that. Taking a look now. In your Gmail settings, under "Filters and Blocked Addresses" could you see if there is a filter there that says 'Apply label "Adios Stashed Emails"'? If you do, just delete this and everything should start working normally again.

@jared_molko1 I think I see what happened. Looks like the 'Adios Stashed Emails' label may have been removed manually before disabling, so the filter didn't get cleaned up properly. We are fixing this now. The filter I mentioned earlier might just say "Skip inbox". This is the one you want to remove. Really appreciate you reaching out about this. I've sent you an email. Let me know if you're still having problems.

I like the app as it helps me to focus on the real work to happen. Simple and straight forward. Get me my mails in doses. It's a good help on a way to more discipline.

Pros:

Completely free, quick and easy to turn on and off, personal contact to creators

Cons:

You need to give them access to your mails. They do not have a standard GDPR-compliant legal process in place yet (relevant in EU)

Hey Martin, thanks for your review. Really appreciate the feedback. One thing - we're based in Europe and are GDPR compliant. Do you think you could be specific about what you think is missing?

One of the best flows I've ever seen - I set it up in 30sec. Love the ethos behind what the team are doing. Definitely made me think about how I use emails to communicate (live) in some cases. Overall - I think this is something more people need to use.
