2023-06-09	Annibale Montenero	A perfect solution to quickly and easily bundle and categorize your emails!
2023-02-22	Jason Bartlett	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	Diana Hutchinson	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	Stelvio Gori	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	Gabriel Bobes	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.
2023-01-24	Ryan McCann	Breef has been exactly what I have been looking for. The quick automated organization of emails in real time is fantastic. I especially love being able to scroll through similar and related emails and quickly archive, delete or respond without having jump back and forth. I'm excited to see any new improvements that come with Breef, however as it stands it is a wonderful and useful tool.
2023-01-24	Dirk Freise	Breeze helps me quit a bit to triage my emails and spend my time wisely. In my spare time I can quickly browse through all my newsletters at one place already sorted into relevant categories.
2023-01-23	Rachel Lavieri	The best part of this extension is how much time it saves me. I used to spend about an hour every morning sorting through my emails, trying to figure out which ones had legitimate action items versus the multitude of read-later or junk emails. (I work in Marketing and Communications, we get a LOT of junk.) Now that I can bundle them, I just click "Junk", review the subject lines to make sure it is all junk, select all, and remove from my inbox. "News" I can peruse at my leisure, which allows me to focus on the important emails: directors, co-workers, project management software notifications, financial updates, etc... I went from spending an hour checking email every morning to, at most, spending 15 minutes. That's an extra 45 minutes a day or, because I like tracking actuals, 3.75 hours per week. More than worth it.
2023-01-20	Julie Johnson	I keep an eye on several email groups within our company and Breef is fantastic for letting me see those emails essentially in a stack and dismiss them (archive or delete) as a stack as well, instead of onesies twosies as they come in. Saves me so much time and focus! Love it!
2023-01-20	Mike Haynes	I wasn't sure about the utility at first, but Breef has surprised me for sure. I have 3 school aged children with 3 different teachers. I get a bunch of emails from their teachers and school administrators every week. It gets a little hard to manage. Things were getting missed and falling through the cracks. But, not anymore! Breef automatically groups the related emails together and separates them by teacher which makes it far easier to keep track of who needs what and when. I'm sold.
