| 2023-01-19 |  | | en | I've been using Activeinbox for a long time and now I like Breef too. The first feature that caught my eye was the creation of bundles. It is a fantastic addition to my views. I often have multiple email threads with a support team or friends and it's convenient to keep them in my inbox but collapsed so I can focus on my daily job. And it looks just nice, which is also important. :) Unfortunately, lately Breef started disappearing from my MS Edge. The oly way to make it come back is to uninstall it and the reinstall it. But it is not the best thing to do every time I open Gmail. Could you please check why it fails to load? Sometimes the sidebar shows the Breef icon (so it partially loads), but my bundles will not appear in my inbox. I'm bound to Edge, so I do not want to switch to Chrome. |

| 2023-02-22 |  | | At first I thought Breef was a bit of a novelty, I was wrong on that! I have been using it for several weeks and it has saved many hours of searching to find related emails. With Breef I can easily group project or client emails into a bundle per project or client and find what I need to read or respond to much more quickly than I could before. If I get an email that should be in a bundle I can add it to the bundle with a couple of clicks. I have a bundle set up just for newletters and announcements - important to read but not urgent. Breef bundles all of these together in one row in the Inbox so I know where they are and I don't loose track of time sensitive emails in my Inbox. I think of it as a set and forget way of keeping focussed on the what is important now, and when I have the time I can skim through multiple messages very quickly using the feed view. Great product, highly recommened. | |

| 2023-02-16 |  | | I love how this gives me the ability to organize similar emails rather than setting up rules to sort them into folders which I might or might not actually look at. They are still visible and I am able to go through multiple similar things at one time, helping me be more efficient. | |

| 2023-02-15 |  | | I've been using AIB since the start but now my flow of email is too massive to categorize everything; Breef helps a lot by grouping related messages by topic, my brain is happy and it looks that now ?im control again. | |

| 2023-01-31 |  | | Using Active Inbox since its beginnings, I wasn't sure what else could help me in my emails so I ignored the promo messages for Breef. Thank you Andy for taking the time and showing the product in depth :-) Breef it's so easy to use and helps focus on what matters first. If you see in the morning 30++ new messages and you do not know where to start, then Breef is for you. By creating simple rules instead of 30++ messages, you may end with 4-5 groups of emails. Your brain is happy and you are willing to start opening the email groups based on their importance. You will eventually end up opening all the 30++ email but effortlessly and that's the beauty of the GTD. You try it once, you will never want to remove it. BTW, it's working great next to Active Inbox. There is also a problem: I no longer like to open my gmail on my phone because I miss Breff and AI :-( It would be great if we could have a mobile version for both Breef and Active Inbox. |
