Your Gmail inbox as an Instagram feed

Scroll your inbox like a feed. Your email decays, nothing lasts past 7 days. Should not decay? It will. Export to Google Calendar or download. Two modes: Check to graze · Write when you're in the mood. ❤️ Like = filter for write later. No state held locally, all synced to Gmail.
Hey there! I've started to experiment with this concept a few days ago and I have to admit it brought joy to my life. It makes me feel relaxed, like I’ve finally found real relief, at least when it comes to email management.
Email is a medium, not a destination.
Gmail's premise, since 2004: never delete, search later. The inbox became a tank that only fills. Twenty years on, finding anything in it is broken, and we are stuck with the anxiety of a 40,000-message backlog.
Mizzle makes the opposite bet.
The one law: Nothing accrues in the inbox. Everything decays. The inbox holds no permanent state. It's a pipe, not a tank.
This is the Stream, not Inbox philosophy. The bucket creates the debt, the implicit obligation to drain it to zero. The river has no bottom to reach: you dip in, take what you want, and let the rest flow past.
I was a Mailbox user. Mailbox (RIP, 2013–2016) sped up the treadmill with snooze, but snooze is deferral, the pile keeps growing. Dropbox admitted they couldn't "fundamentally fix email." The fix they missed: Remove the floor. Let it decay.
Two modes — consumption ≠ production
You often check email because you're bored, not because you owe a reply. So Mizzle never makes scrolling demand a decision.
• Check mode → lean back. Graze the feed. The main gesture is double-tap.
• Write mode → lean forward. A focused, batched view of what you flagged.
Double-tap or share — neither one "keeps the email"
- "I need to act on this" → Like the email to add it to your reply queue. It will surface in Write mode.
- "I need this thing" (a photo, a receipt, a contract) → You don't need the email, you need the payload. Download or share it to Google Calendar. The email decays anyway.
If you resonate with these ideas, I'd like to discuss them further, maybe you could even try them. This Gmail client is likely tailored to my particular email flow, so what would it need to fit yours?
