Great app + idea! Like some others have mentioned, can't help but be a little nervous about granting access to emails. Would happily pay for this product. If it really is a free forever side project do you have any interest in open-sourcing the code so the community can grow it and validate it's safety? Really nice work on this 👍
hey @ryan_kotzebue . That's a really good point, and nice idea. We'd have to clean it up a bit, but nothing against open-sourcing it. Will discuss with the team.

@ryan_kotzebue If you're willing to get your hands mildly dirty, you can set this up yourself by creating your own Google Apps Script. Here's what I'm using to defer emails (some daily and some weekly):
```
function moveToInbox(labelName) {
var deferredLabel = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(labelName);
if (deferredLabel === null) { return };
var threads = deferredLabel.getThreads();
threads.forEach(function(thread) {
thread.removeLabel(deferredLabel);
});
}
function moveToInboxDaily() {
moveToInbox('_deferred_daily');
}
function moveToInboxWeekly() {
moveToInbox('_deferred_weekly');
}
```
Then set a time-based trigger in the App Script to run `moveToInboxDaily()` and `moveToInboxWeekly()` when you want. You'll also need to create filters in Gmail for all mail you want to defer, applying the labels (in my case, `_deferred_daily` and `_deferred_weekly`) and set to "skip the inbox".

Hi Harry, I used this product and then when I disabled it, its messed with my config in gmail.. now many emails to skipping my inbox, going into "All Mail" and I have no idea how to resolve?
correction, emails are now skipping the inbox and going directly to the "important" folder. I've tried a host of things and nothing has worked. Very frustrating that my inbox was working perfectly before this install and now not..
hey @jared_molko1 . Super sorry to hear that. Taking a look now.
In your Gmail settings, under "Filters and Blocked Addresses" could you see if there is a filter there that says 'Apply label "Adios Stashed Emails"'? If you do, just delete this and everything should start working normally again.
@jared_molko1 I think I see what happened. Looks like the 'Adios Stashed Emails' label may have been removed manually before disabling, so the filter didn't get cleaned up properly. We are fixing this now.
The filter I mentioned earlier might just say "Skip inbox". This is the one you want to remove.
Really appreciate you reaching out about this. I've sent you an email. Let me know if you're still having problems.

Very clean design, great work on the UI. Signed up and have everything setup in just a couple of minutes. As an old user of unroll, it's nice to see a new free service like this. Only question I have is how do you plan to make money?
hey @luikohl . Great question. We don't. A while back we wrote a bunch of Google App Scripts to schedule our emails 3 times a day, and has been game-changing for us and our productivity. Wanted to share this with the world.
Took us 10 days to build, and costs us nothing to run. No intention to monetize (we run a BI platform called trevor.io which pays our salaries. Feel free to check it out if you want to support us :) ).

How is this product different from the competitors? Is there any possibility to delete spam?
hey Nadezhda. Thanks for the review! 😃
We've spent quite a bit of time on the design, which hopefully will make it more fun that use than the competition - but Adios is also totally free ;)
Cool, so our day of being featured on Product Hunt is over.
Just thought I'd mention to anyone who ends up here that being 'hunted' was incredibly useful.
Not only did a bunch of people sign up to Adios, but we also received lots of pertinent questions that revealed the concerns many of our potential users have about signing up. Some were obvious (e.g. Does Adios access the contents of my emails? No, it doesn't), but others we just wouldn't have thought of by ourselves (e.g. Will Adios mess up my existing filters? No, it won't). We can now address these on our homepage and ensure that future visitors have all the information they need to get started with Adios.
Being featured here was a fun, action-packed, and incredibly educational experience 😃
To anyone starting a business, I totally recommend taking full advantage of community-driven launchpads like PH.
Hi everyone. Makers of Adios.ai here. Harry and I are super excited to see this appear on Product Hunt today! Nice surprise. Happy to take any questions.
We built Adios to solve our own problem: email was killing our productivity. The constant context switching every time a new email jumped in. Getting to the end of the day, and feeling like all we'd been doing is answering emails.
Receiving emails 3 times a day (I choose 8am, 1pm and 5pm) has been totally game changing.
Some of the, perhaps unexpected, advantages:
- I don’t have to watch internal threads evolve (I’m effectively only getting a summary digest every 5 hours). To my delight, problems that in the past I would have jumped on to solve, are often solved by someone else long before I even see them.
- I’ve noticed other people’s behaviour change: the emails I receive now are far more succinct and “actionable” than they ever were before. In the past, emails would be more like conversations. Now (presumably because I reply to any chain max 3 times a day) the conversation is far more focused on getting things done.
- And I no longer receive emails at unsociable hours (after 5pm I never receive another email until 8am).
As a result I’m happier, more focused at work, and I’m sleeping better at nights.
Look forward to your feedback. :)
It looks like something I really need. I'm going to give it a try for a couple of weeks, but as always "with great power comes great responsibility" so guys, don't fuck this up 😉
