Get email out of your inbox & into your "donebox"


For professionals who have email at the heart of their daily workflow, ActiveInbox gives you the peace of mind of knowing one of the most uncontrollable parts of your work life is effortlessly organized and ready for action. The fresh metaphor that ActiveInbox brings to email is that emails are not letters, emails are tasks. Use ActiveInbox to empty your inbox, force emails into a productive flow, and get the things in your email done with maximum success.



Better control of your emails

"I used this long before I knew anything about the GTD, and it's always been absolutely essential in getting my emails organized. Now that I'm full into GTD, it's still absolutely essential! I'm so much more productive and stress free."

Jeremy White


Better vision to get email done

Drive conversations towards your goals

Rise above individual emails by grouping them into projects and desired outcomes, and always know what must be done next.

Find old emails in your Gmail folders

Use Gmail folders to find information just when you need it, e.g. when a contact calls, to solve a task, in preparation for a meeting and to write more useful replies.

Store useful info to support conversations

Store notes about what must be done next for a given conversation.

Export your emails to other systems

Some emails contain information that would be more manageable in a dedicated system, such as events for your calendar, big items for your issue tracker and details for your knowledge base. Keep the conversation flowing in email long enough for an item to be well understood before exporting it to your other tools.

A New Way of Looking at Email

At the heart of ActiveInbox is a new metaphor for email: it is no longer a simple exchange of letters, it is a flow of actions. Emails are just badly formated tasks.

Each email is a single step, a single action, to communicate towards a desired outcome (find a venue, organize a meeting, book a holiday, solve a bug, etc.) and to increase your personal reputation and relationships (how soon did you reply, how useful was your reply, how proactive were you at getting something sorted, how personal was your response, etc.).

Email has become a habitat, a place where we receive tasks, delegate tasks, share information, track projects and build relationships. Yet email tools have not evolved to reflect this, they are stuck with the old 'letter in-tray' metaphor. Moving far beyond traditional email clients, ActiveInbox gives you a brand new mindset and a more efficient toolset to bring your email under control.

How can you put ActiveInbox to work?

ActiveInbox improves email with a great workflow and innovative features for people wanting increased personal effectiveness; using email for sales, customer service and media relations; team communication & management; and especially for people who "live in email".

People use ActiveInbox to manage a high volume of email, to manage the flow of important emails, to keep their other personal management tools email free and even to turn Gmail into a complete task manager!
