How I built NeatMail - an open source email competitor to superhuman!

Hey everyone, to anyone who is reading this how many of you are drowning in mails and whenever you wake up your inbox is flooded with mails. Also do you miss important mails from a particular client.

I was in this situation 3 months ago and tried many apps that costed $30 for some keyboards shortcuts. I wanted to make my Gmail smarter and something I can use literally every minute of my life therefore started building NeatMail.

Moreover why they want me to switch to their inbox , I am so used to Gmail and it's keyboard shortcuts that I don't want to switch to their inbox.

What it does:

  • Auto-labels everything (newsletters, invoices, follow-ups, etc.)
  • Drafts AI replies in your voice, checks your calendar and previous threads like a real assistant would
  • Bulk unsubscribes from junk to nuke them all at once
  • Sends Telegram notifications for important stuff + lets you approve replies with one tap

The main idea was simple:

Instead of switching to another email client, make Gmail/Outlook smarter directly inside the inbox.
