Sad to see this here, but if anyone is interested in a new tool with some of the features of Inbox (snoozing, pinning and more to come), we're building Monolist (https://monolist.co). Monolist integrates directly into the tools you use and surfaces things that you can act on inline in the app (missed Slack mentions, Asana tasks, Calendar invites etc.). We're actually working on a GMail integration right now and would love to hear from the community what kinds of Inbox features we could replicate successfully. |

For example, all "purchase" emails (emails like shipping updates, receipts, etc...) are automatically hidden whenever they come in, and are delivered under one bundle at 9am for me, and they will send notifications to my devices and show up right in front of me at that time.
This is very different than something like Gmail tabs, because they are fully out of sight and out of mind until they "arrive" that morning.
And that feature is the killer feature for me. Imagine if your physical mail was delivered to your door tens or hundreds of times a day? That's how I feel about normal email clients.
And after getting used to this way of working, I have this vacuum that I desperately want filled with just not email, but all notifications on all platforms.
Id love to queue up all Reddit messages until after my workday, bundle most Twitter notifications until one specific time every day, get a notification from slack at 4:45 and "snooze" it to show up like new tomorrow morning at 9 AM.
Snoozing notifications individually isn't a replacement, the ability to choose to snooze automatically to the next key time was huge. Putting them in tabs hidden from the "main" view isn't a replacement, I won't remember to check that tab unless I'm in my email and have time to do it (and remember to).
Inbox changed how I deal with interruptions, it changed what I want from a phone, it helped me stop my FOMO in a lot of areas, and kept me from forgetting to answer emails and do tasks because I would forget to check a task list or something.
I know I'm only one person, and I still haven't clicked on your pink and checked it out (I plan to right after this), but I would very much pay good money for software that can enable this workflow again, especially if it works for more than just emails and reminders.
