Mail

Triage Mail without leaving your list.

A Thread’s subject becomes the Task’s title, and its latest Message, without the quoted replies, becomes the description. The Thread stays one click from what you made.

Mail with the Inbox open: Mailboxes, the account and Gmail labels on the left, the Thread list in the middle, and the Thread “Tidepool App Store screenshots” on the right with Make task, Make note, Reply, Archive and Snooze.

Details

How the connection works.

Kept current

A background pass syncs your calendars every five minutes, and you can sync on demand.

Several accounts

Connect more than one Google account. Calendar and Mail merge them, and Gmail labels appear as Mailboxes, each with an optional default Project.

Mail is read live

Threads are read from Gmail as you open them. blastbeat keeps only your Mailboxes’ default Projects and the links to what you make.

Linked back

A Triaged badge opens the Task or Note made from a Thread, and that Note keeps a link to its email.

Tasks from Events

Add Tasks on an Event offers Prep (due 15 minutes before), Share notes (due as it ends) and a Follow up.

Snooze

Until Later today, Tomorrow, This weekend or Next week. The Thread comes back to your Mail unread.

B
Replies

Plain text, from the Thread. blastbeat sends up to 30 Replies an hour.

R
Beyond Google

CalDAV calendars, such as Fastmail, iCloud and Nextcloud, and IMAP mail work where an Admin turns them on.
