Triage 2 is first aid for everybody who struggles to stay on top of their inbox. It doesn’t try to replace traditional email software, but lets you use your downtime to quickly remove the noise and stress. New messages appear as a familiar “stack of cards” interface. With a flick or a tap, you can quickly archive messages, keep important ones in your inbox for later, forward to somebody else, or compose a short reply. Triage 2 supports Gmail, iCloud Mail, Fastmail or any other email service that supports IMAP. --- Praise for Triage: “Since I’ve been using Triage, I’m more caught up on my email than I have been in years.” — Daring Fireball “Triage makes it feel seamless, and even fun, to achieve—if not Inbox Zero—at least Inbox Zen.” — Macworld “Triage is my new favorite email app for iPhone.” — MacStories “Triage is simple, clean, fast, and one of my new favorite apps.” — iMore Terms of use: https://triage.cc/terms Privacy Policy: https://triage.cc/privacy
