And that’s where Sanebox comes in. Think of it as an EMT for your email. As messages flow in, Sanebox does the triage for you — sifting only the important emails into your inbox and directing all the other distracting stuff into your SaneLater folder. So you know what messages to pay attention to now, and what stuff you can get to later on. It also has nifty features like the SaneBlackHole, where you can drag messages from annoying senders you never want to hear from again, and SaneReminders to ping you if someone hasn’t replied to your email by a certain date. Best of all you can use Sanebox with any email client or phone, anywhere you check your email. See how SaneBox can magically remove distractions from your inbox with a free two-week trial.
