It’s time to put email in its place.
About a year ago, a small team of engineers and designers set out to build the world’s best mobile collaboration tool. What began with an observation — that people used email as a (terrible) to-do list — evolved into Orchestra To-do, the App Store’s 2011 Productivity App of the Year.
But no matter how much we use Orchestra, people keep sending us tasks via email. And one day it dawned on us: rather than moving these tasks somewhere else, what if we transformed the inbox where they already live?
We’ve come to believe email is here to stay. And while we can't get away from it, we can change how we interact with it. We can put email in its place.
That’s where Mailbox comes in. We’re creating a mobile-first email experience from the ground up — challenging assumptions about how email works and redesigning the inbox for a world on the go.
We’re taking the very best experiences from the apps we use everyday and applying them to this archaic medium.
