If what you mean is that Google-only is a non-starter for yourself personally, check out what we're working on at Marco. It's IMAP-primitive:

#12Excellent work! We're building something similar at Marco: https://marcoapp.io If you're up for a chat sometime I'd be keen! Very impressed with your work. We've taken longer to get to market, but will be launching with full IMAP support and web/desktop/mobile apps. I like your pricing – hit the nail on the head.
Hi Isaac, thanks for your message
Let's go for a chat, I'll send you a DM on X

#14Thanks John! Looks like a smooth product and I've signed up for the waiting list. Quick points of feedback already: * I couldn't find on the site for which OS I can use it.

#15Very cool work. This hits the nail on what I've always kind of needed. Or, really, what I've kludged from an assortment of ever changing tools and glues. My issue: what about the other tasks ? With this tool I'd have my task list and my email-task list, in two separate places. Not ideal. I know it's probably way out of your scope to also build a good general purpose task manager. But I feel like another kanban to man…
Really appreciate your feedback, thank you!
I totally get your point about ending up with a second to-do list. Depending on feedback and demand, I’ll probably implement a connector to sync with third-party task tools (Trello, Notion, whatever…) maybe through Zapier, for example.
