Whoa, just downloaded. Super impressed. Had high hopes for Superhuman, but ditched it after a few months. Looking forward to giving Tempo a long spin.

Tempo is a breath of fresh air in a cluttered email client product world. Been using it since the early days and you can quickly see that Sebastian and the team made this with a clear goal of freeing user from the daily email routines that were not perfect. Typography is simple and honest, layout is innovative and well thought and the whole experience of going through your emails is crisp and effortless. Also cant wait for the Mobile version to finally delete my other clients. Keep up the good work guys. Much love from Slovenia <3

this is what Superhuman should be, great work though price point is ehh as all of these productivity things all tie back to self control which everyone has to learn
Sebastian Stockmarr
@edisonjoao6871 Glad to hear! And yeah self-control is the key and exactly why we won't start charging until the mobile app is out which will keep away the all too easy mobile inbox peek. Hope you'll find it a bargain once we get there and let me know how it goes once you've had a chance to try it out for a bit.

It's such a new way of doing email. In the beginning you kind of have to get used to the fact that you're in control and not the other way around - but it really grows on you.

Best email client I've ever used. Like really. And I tried many. Love how it keeps you focused on the things that matter, helps you prioritise and gets out of the way. Inbox anxiety? Gone! And the upcoming mobile version is going to take the awesomeness to a whole other level! Hope its going to be available on both android and ios. Would be a shame if this becomes another "sorry ios only" product.

@jonashaefele So happy to hear Jonas! And don't worry, we're working on both platforms right now 🙂

@jonashaefele @stockmarr I am so happy to hear that! 🙏🏻😍
Devesh Kumar
Very clean and minimal. Love using it. However I am really worried about the pricing.
Sebastian Stockmarr
@onosmosis Thanks Devesh. I think we need to be more worried about "free" in general haha. What part of the pricing is worrying to you?

Does it open randomly while in the background like Mail.app does? Because that's a killer feature that I can't live without
Sebastian Stockmarr
@marawan_1997 We'll have to keep working on that sadly 😉
Marwan
@stockmarr haha I'll be waiting 😂

I just signed up for the beta the other day and I'm loving the minimalism of the app. One thing I'm missing though is the delete/trash button. I only archive mail I want to keep, the rest I delete. Any plans of adding a trash button? @stockmarr
Sebastian Stockmarr
@danaudne Hold the Option ⌥ key and the archive buttons switch to delete. We've been talking about making a general setting for the default.
Dan Audne
@stockmarr Thanks! I wouldn't mind having both buttons there.
Anna Filou
@stockmarr @danaudne I’d love to just have both buttons. I use both the delete and the archive functions all the time. I don’t want to have a single button that does both when there is so much space where a second button could be ;)

I've used Tempo a while, and I've deleted it and re-downloaded twice, since I always find myself curious to give another try. It's a different email experience, far from what we're used to, and I think that's what keeps me engaged with the idea. From a general standpoint, I really like it. I find it great for a product to encourage me to like email a bit more, and hate it a bit less. As a guy who gets anxious with email notifications, Tempo is definitely a useful tool. Still, I'm not entirely sure how profitable it will be for you guys to run a 100% independent premium email client. There are very little to non premium email clients charging for a subscription out there, since the mass market uses free stuff. Airmail tries to compete by selling a premium product with a non-subscription fixed price. But look at what happened with Newton. Incredible product, couldn't sustain, got sold. Anyway, I just love the idea. It's a weird product, takes a while to get used to, but I'm pretty confident that once you are all in into the Tempo workflow, there's no way back. Sign me up!

@juan_germano Hi Juan, thanks for being so persistent, much appreciated! Building such a product and making it sustainable is definitely a challenge. But one we are happy to tackle. If people spend so much time on their email, a better product is something a sufficient number of them should be able to pay for. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, we will also look at some freemium model, if that makes sense.
