Superhuman vs Gmail

If you get more than 10 emails per week, you'll want to seriously consider Superhuman.

While I've spoken to many about the sheer simplicity and power, I find that either someone "gets it" or "doesn't", and if you don't, it's not for you.

If you highly value your time, and are willing to pay a bit extra for enjoyment, Superhuman is the tool that will do just that, while get you through your email inbox 2x as fast.

I'm not kidding, I'm talking like those 3-5 seconds you often need to wait for Gmail to load—yeah, Superhuman is literally instant. Want to write an email? Open Superhuman and press [c] and you'll be in a compose window a solid 2 seconds before Gmail loads.

I was a skeptic for years, until I finally gave it a shot. Learned some of the simple keyboard shortcuts like [e] for archive and [h] for snooze + some additional fun shortcuts like [#] for delete, and [!] for spam.

Don't like memorizing keyboard shortcuts to get through your email more quickly? Great, then just press [CMD] + [k] → the Superhuman key, which allows you to do absolutely anything from anywhere just by typing.

At the end of the day, I'll never leave Superhuman, because it makes me dread email less. Enjoy it even. And dive into the advanced features like saved snippets for re-usable bit of text that you use often, and you'll be unable to see yourself going into Gmail ever again.

Oh, and the mobile app. Yeah, go ahead and "snooze an email for when you're on your computer", because sometimes you just want your full keyboard. It's thoughtful, fast, and powerful. The way email should have been.
