Superhuman

Superhuman is an email client designed to boost productivity and help users manage their inboxes more efficiently. Its primary goal is to enable users to achieve inbox zero, where no emails are sitting in a user’s inbox, by providing a streamlined email experience. Initially launched in 2017 as an invite-only platform, Superhuman has since gained popularity for its speed and efficiency. According to a 2021 survey by Superhuman, 30% of remote workers identified work-related communications as their biggest distraction. Superhuman addresses this challenge by reducing the time users spend on email, enabling them to focus on more productive tasks. The company claims its email client is three times faster than Gmail, saves users over four hours per week, and improves response times by an average of two days.
