Breef

The information you need to do your job. In fast, 5 minute bursts.

It's noise-cancelling for email.

Topics you ❤️ (not a billion emails)

It takes at least 94 seconds to figure out every unrelated email. Our brains crave order.

Sort your newsletters and notifications into channels that stay organized.

Read at twice the speed

Can you imagine clicking through social media like you do emails in Gmail? Yawn, so slow.

Twitter cracked the code to handle info overload, and now Gmail can too. Skim everything in one quick scroll.

Act boldly with the 5 minute timer

Overwhelmed by unread newsletters and notifications?

Breef turns them into a fun and winnable challenge... How many you can do in 5 mins?

Use what you learn

Remember that great tidbit you read? No?

Note down the attention grabbing news as you skim, and save it to read later. Or find it again next time you search, like a knowledge base.

✔️ Breef is ZERO effort.

When you're swamped you've got no time to "manage" emails.

Breef is designed to require no input. It automatically pulls together what matters, to achieve your goals.

And works where you do - within Gmail!

✔️ Privacy. Your emails are safe.

Notice how there's no cookie banner on this site? We don't track you. We're fully GDPR compliant.

✔️ Your attention matters.

In our increasingly fragmented world, it's hard to argue there's any greater skills than focus and relationships.

"The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy."

Breef has been an email game-changer for me. It prevents mental whiplash.

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.

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 don't know exactly! Breef:Calendar is prelaunch (but working and useable), and I'm still figuring out the value. It'll be the same ball park as ActiveInbox - so around $6/mo.
