Turn inbox time into a short, timed sprint. Start a sweep, race a calm countdown, and make fast keep-or-clear decisions β€” all on your device. This app never reads or syncs your mail. This app is a focus timer and triage coach, not an email client. It does not connect to any account and does not read, send, or sync your email. You run the timer here and clear messages in your own mail app. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Run timed inbox sweeps β€” pick a length, like a 10-minute sweep, and work against a quiet countdown - Build custom triage rules β€” your own quick decisions: delete, archive, reply, or defer - Keep a daily streak β€” gentle reminders help you clear your mailbox every day - See your pace β€” charts and insights show how fast you sort and how your focus grows - Work fully offline β€” no account, no sign-in, nothing to set up HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a sweep length and start the timer 2. Open your own mail app and clear messages using your triage rules 3. End the sweep, log your streak, and check your pace WHY THIS APP Email piles up when there is no finish line. A short, timed sweep gives inbox work a clear start and end, so triage feels calm and focused instead of endless. FULL ACCESS Custom rules, complete insights, extended history, and daily reminders are part of full access, available as a weekly or yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Start your first sweep today and make inbox time feel calm and finite. β€” LEGAL β€” Terms of Use: https://web-levi.web.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://web-levi.web.app/privacy-policy Support: tphuc.work@gmail.com

About

EmailTasker

Features
Read full description

EmailTasker is an AI secretary that turns important Microsoft email into clear tasks and keeps Today focused on work planned or due today. YOUR DAY β€’ Needs Attention β€” missed plans and passed hard deadlines stay visible until you handle them. β€’ Today β€” only work planned for today or genuinely due today. Add, complete, snooze, and undo. β€’ Plan β€” schedule future work or keep it unscheduled without crowding Today. β€’ Calendar β€” an agenda of what is coming, with events you can create and edit. FROM EMAIL TO TASKS β€’ Connect a Microsoft mailbox directly and turn actionable messages into tasks. β€’ Open a task's source message when you need the original context. β€’ Review mailing lists before you unsubscribe. On iPhone, inspect each sender and request unsubscribe in one tap. β€’ On Mac, optionally archive reviewed existing messages, with history and Undo. YOUR AI SECRETARY β€’ Ask what needs attention, what belongs Today, or what you can plan ahead. β€’ Let the assistant create and update tasks in plain language, with visible action history and Undo. β€’ Reversible actions include Undo; sending or permanently deleting starts with a short countdown you can cancel. β€’ You decide when AI is involved, and can turn it off at any time. Turning messages into tasks keeps working with local rules. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PRO β€’ Free: tasks and calendar on this device. β€’ Pro adds Microsoft mail, Mailing Lists, the assistant, Morning Brief, and automatic email-to-task extraction. β€’ On iPhone, subscribe to Pro or buy AI Units through Apple. Existing Pro and AI Units already on your EmailTasker account are also recognized.
