Just downloaded Runner. Love the UX so far, much better than Claude and especially Manus. Great job on the design!

Thanks for the great feedback. We spend a lot of time making the UX as best as can be and glad that it shows.

I was skeptical at first, Claude Cowork is already pretty good. But Runner is so much better! I have no idea how they did it but I was able to hook up my 7 (yes SEVEN) gmail accounts to it and have it flag what's important for me to deal with right away. No hacky work around, no forwarding all your emails to a new central email. If your life doesn't fit neatly into a single Gmail connection and a single Google Calend…

Thanks for the great feedback. Agreed, I am really using it for all of the Google in my life.

I’m one of those with 3+ gmails and spend at least 15-30min each day trying to make my calendars work, and Runner has completely taken this off my plate!
