Meanwhile my life actually happens over email, messages, calendar, college, Kindle, reading, and Substack. And I always have to be somewhere else.
So now I send everything to one place, like texting a friend. It separates life from work, and every week it analyzes and gives you a place to start instead of another dashboard.
You can connect your email and calendar through Plow. It always asks before changing anything in your calendar or sending a message. And the part that interests me most is that I don't have to keep re-sorting twenty things anymore, because it remembers.
If I say some activity takes me 45 minutes on average, but I actually take 60, it learns that. So next time, if I write 45 minutes it puts 60, and it keeps adapting my calendar to that. And every morning it can send a newspaper with everything that matters to me: the people I need to answer, what changed overnight, what I have to solve today. It can even send something funny, and that goes to my Kindle.
Of course it can go to the printer, email, or the chat, but I send it to my Kindle. It's open source and works over iMessage or SMS.
I built it during a hackathon, and it came out of my own problems. Now I want something that learns the real pace of life. I'd love your feedback on what you think should improve.
