Hey Riki, this is a pretty cool idea. At least in theory. Are the emails just merged into a single email chain or is there also some sort of content processing happening? It would be great to see an example of the end result before committing to the product and spending time setting things up.

Thanks @natannikolic. That's a good point, I've still got a way to go in terms of writing up some examples/blogs/documentation/screenshots etc. Essentially, at the end of the period (day, week or month), the app generates a single email with each of the original emails within it. Each email is separated by an obvious header callout which contains the subject line, date, attachments etc. If you'd like to demo it, you can grab your username and then simply send yourself a test email to an example alias. To see the email, either wait until the end of the day, or trigger it manually from the dashboard. That's it! Rikki

Hi Product Hunt, I've been working on Paced Email to help me regain some calm. While email is an indispensable tool, it can become a productivity drain at both work and home. Checking email can quickly develop into a habit. According to several studies, “random intermittent reinforcement” is a significant factor of technology obsession. It’s the behavioural undercurrent that keeps you compulsively checking your devices. Each time you receive an email, optimal productivity is lost, and it becomes hard to refocus on the task at hand. Paced Email aims to help reduce distraction in your inbox. By batching up frequent emails into paced summaries, you’re able to concentrate more effectively. How it works: - Grab your username - Create programmable email aliases on the fly - Use your aliases on sites that send you emails too frequently At the end of each period, a single email is sent to the real email address containing all of the messages the alias received over that timeframe. Examples: johndoe.shopify@daily.paced.email johndoe.stripe@weekly.paced.email johndoe.github@monthly.paced.email More ideas are on the roadmap and will feature in due course. I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions. Which sites would you use your aliases on first? Thanks, Rikki
