I built an email app for my own inbox and I'm not sure I got the core idea right

So I run a small agency and I've got like 4 Gmail accounts, and for years my inbox has been the thing that quietly stresses me out. Not the volume exactly. More that I could never tell what actually needed me from what was just sitting there looking important.

I tried everything over the years. Labels, filters, priority inbox, the lot. They all just sort your mail into neat piles. None of them actually tell you "this one's on you, deal with it", so you still end up reading everything to work out what matters.

A few days ago I got properly fed up and built my own thing. It's a little macOS menu bar app. Every morning it goes through every thread across all my accounts and asks three questions about each one: is anyone actually waiting on me here? is there a real consequence if I miss it? would I regret not seeing it today? If it's no to all three, it just tucks the thread away. Nothing deleted, it's all still there, it just stops shouting at you.

The bit I keep going back and forth on is whether those are the right three questions. I deliberately didn't include "is this from someone important", because honestly a lot of my stress came from treating "important sender" as "needs me now" when they're really not the same thing. But I might be wrong about that.

Couple of honest caveats: it's rough, and it's a bit of a faff to set up right now (it's free and the code's all open, so you wire up your own Google access, which is also the reason I'm happy pointing it at my actual email). Putting it on Product Hunt tomorrow anyway.

So before I do, would love a gut check from people who think about this stuff: would you add or drop one of those three questions? Anything you'd swap in? Completely fine to tell me the whole idea's off.
