After switching to Shortwave, I got to Zero Inbox in record time! Plus, the AI-based Summarize feature is a real time-saver for long threads.
Will Moxley
SVP of Product at AppFolio
I no longer dread looking through my email, since Shortwave has everything I need to get through it FAST. From intelligent bundling to AI-powered inbox summaries, Shortwave has it all.
Jordan Tranchina
Product Manager at Gusto
I've reached inbox zero for the first time in my life, and Shortwave helped me do it in five minutes. I've never felt so on top of my inbox.
Matt Martin
CEO and Cofounder at Clockwise
Shortwave is a true game-changer. I can't imagine my workday without it, as it is always a means of organizing myself. It continues to impress me with every release.
Andrea Renteria
Sr. Growth Partner at Teamable
Normally I'm very *meh* on light UX wrapper apps over Gmail. But aww-heck if @Shortwave has done it! It's good! They found all the right features that all click with me. I'd use it for the Markdown shortcuts alone probably.
Chris Coyier
Co-Founder
Time to put some serious magic to my inbox now. 🥳
Jaun Franco Yu

Gmail has become hopeless and it's about to get worse. Shortwave is the only alternative that has worked for me and though many of its features seem minor additions, they add up to an email experience that's less frustrating and more functional.
Shubham Agarwal
Tech Journalist
@Shortwave is the best email client I've ever used: email that feels like chat, built around your relationships. It's full of clever ideas like consistent formatting for emails, presence, and bundles. 10x improvement over Gmail.
Vibhu Norby
CEO
Finally found an email app (Shortwave) that brings me a sense of peace again like Google Inbox used to.
Andrew S. Rosen
Professor
This is the most mature and delightful GPT-4+ product experience I've seen to date. Impressive example LLM-based architecture to boot. Bravo @Shortwave
Sam Zimmerman
Program Director
@Shortwave was already my default email client but now that they added label bundling and the ability to change automatic categorization in the mobile app, there is almost no reason for me to use regular Gmail any more.
Justin Beeson
DevOps Engineer
Huge thanks to @Shortwave for not only building the BEST email client (and continuing to improve it), but also providing some killer branded swag for feedback!
Jason Clark
Web Development Manager
Bye bye Superhuman. Hello @Shortwave. It's the spiritual successor to Inbox by Gmail but powered by AI. Plus, it's got Sanebox built-in.
Sai Hossain
CEO
Somewhat surprisingly, I'm still pleased to have switched to @Shortwave for email. They keep launching features at a pretty rapid clip. Today's release? Default bundles (e.g. Finance, Travel, Purchases) that remember how I categorize emails into them.
Serge
Product
This is quickly becoming the best app for Gmail
Kyle Petzinger
Head of Growth
@Shortwave has taken my email flow to the next level. A delightful "single player" experience that absolutely shines when I interact with other Shortwavers.
