Featured app • Mailman

A silent inbox for holidays

Setting an "Out of Office" reply feels productive, but it doesn't stop the mental load of checking your phone under the dinner table. Mailman lets you actually disconnect by holding all incoming mail in a secure queue until you return in January.

What is it:

A Gmail plugin that pauses your inbox and delivers mail only when you are ready.

Who is it for:

Leaders who need a guilt-free disconnect during the holiday season.

Alternative to:

Boomerang, SaneBox, or Superhuman.

Why we like it:

We like Mailman because it enforces a "Do Not Disturb" mode that actually works, ensuring your holiday is for relaxing, not skimming subject lines.

Shoppers are adding to cart for the holidays
