The Old Way

The Avoidant

  • Look at your inbox
  • Feel overwhelmed
  • Ignore anything non-urgent
  • Let the clutter build up
  • Miss urgent items anyway
  • Never see cool insights
  • Nausea about 20k unread

The Meticulous

  • Open every email.
  • Click click click. Yawn.
  • Forget every insight anyway

With Breef

  • Pick what matters now (Colleagues, good reads, calendar invites, Best Of things you missed, etc.)
  • Skim them crazy fast
  • Needs work? Mark for later
  • Insightful? Save it
  • Clear your inbox as you go
  • Search saved insights when needed

Calm, flowing and focused

A breef note from the maker, Andy Mitchell

"As I'm perpetually short on time for checking things, newsletters became my favorite way receive deep insights straight into my inbox.

But right now, the infrastructure kinda sucks. My inbox is forever on fire trying to keep up with emails from every aspect of my life, I rarely recall what I read, and I'm aware writers might struggle to keep going without positive feedback.

So what started as a little Chrome extension to help me handle my inbox is evolving into a tool that lifts up the knowledge flowing through our inboxes, and even tries to support the authors behind it.

In short, the inbox is overwhelmed and there’s tons we can do to improve it. See the Roadmap to join in."

Breef has been an email game-changer for me. It prevents the mental whiplash of going through a messy inbox.

Scrolling review of emails is like nothing you have ever experienced before. My email anxiety is at an all time low.
Sasha Torres
I use Breef to fly through my inbox and get rid of all the irritating and time-consuming detritus that collects there in about 1/3 of the time it used to take me. Then I can focus on what's actually important. It's immeasurably reduced my anxiety around the Sisyphean daily task that is email.
Angus Burnett
I think anybody would find this useful for the speed it gives them to go through emails but if you know the simple keyboard shortcuts that already work for Gmail, it makes sorting through your emails an absolute breeze. I can't believe nobody has ever thought of this before.
Vivian Kimball
Great extension that sits right in your inbox, clears out the fluff, then helps you sort the wheat from the chaff so you can focus

I've been absolutely revelling 🥳 in my inbox
