Does your inbox feel like an interrupting box of surprises, as addictive as a Las Vegas slot machine? Mine too.
Back in 2006, I made the original Gmail addon: ActiveInbox. It's been my work life ever since.
Folks love it as a way to turn emails into tasks, to order Gmail.
But something changed around 2020: email newsletters exploded, and became valuable to read.
Now my inbox is 100x what it used to be, and I can't track every little email anymore.
I wanted control without the effort. Something slick.
At first, I thought the Instagram-esque scrolling would be the coolest thing, but actually bundles turned out to be crazily satisfying. It's like gardening for Gmail: they brought instant, lasting order.
I wouldn't call Breef a side project anymore - I think it has real legs to bring a profound change to our inboxes. Because that 50 year old tech is a mess that dumps emails on you, and bundles is such an obvious answer to tame it.
