The solution to this lies in proactive limiting the distractions, Tyagulsky explained. My email inbox has always played too big a role in my day, and I’ll often find myself breaking away from an important production task just to see who wants me. “We have more wants and needs than we have the capacity to fulfil,” he said. Tyagulsky explained that the inspiration for Spark’s latest reimagining came from the information overload most of us are contending with these days. This resulted in a development path for Spark that saw the introduction of the smart inbox, intuitive search, and a bunch of collaboration features.

A new approach to productivity and emailĭuring a press briefing, Readdle co-founder, Alex Tyagulsky, revealed that the goal for Spark has always been to “make email smart”. The good news is that the email client I’ve used for several years has received one hell of an update, and it has transformed my approach to email. For years, it’s been a mess of hacks, workarounds, stupid reliances, and endless amounts of gaffa tape. The issue has always been the way in which I approach email. This isn’t a reference to my inability to reply or keep on top of incoming messages – I’m actually pretty proficient in that area and pride myself on rarely missing important emails. Save attachments to iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Readability, Pocket, Evernote, OneNote or any application on your iPhone and iPad.Scratch that – I’m absolutely terrible at it. Let your friends and colleagues quickly know what you thought about their email with one tap to send a 'Like', 'Thanks' or any other custom reply.Įnable Smart Notifications to only be disturbed by emails you care about. So you can quickly swipe between them when composing an email, to choose the one that's best suited. Spark will automatically find your most used signatures. Type 'attachments from Alex last week' to see all the emails sent to you last week by Alex with an attachment. Use natural language to search through your emails. See all of your important email at a glance, with a unified inbox which knows the difference between a personal email, a notification and a newsletter.

If you can't finish a task today, swipe to snooze for tomorrow or another day (if you're really busy). Pin emails which relate to things you need to do today, or quickly swipe left to archive those you've already dealt with. Quickly process your emails, swiping to archive or delete as necessary. We all love the feeling of accomplishment when we have finally dealt with our inbox. With just a glance, you can see if emails are important or just a product announcement from a service you've never used. Smart Inbox automatically detects if an email is personal, a notification or a newsletter and groups it with similar emails for easy batch processing using beloved swipes.
