# I made an app that turns your email inbox into tinder

Are you drowning in a sea of unread emails? Do you find yourself scrolling endlessly, trying to clean up the clutter? Managing your inbox can feel like a never-ending chore, but what if it could be as easy and fun as swiping through Tinder? That’s exactly why I built [**InboxSwipe**](https://inboxswipe.com/) - an app that transforms your Gmail inbox into an intuitive **swipe-based** experience, making email management **fast**, **fun**, and **effortless**.

## 💡 The Idea

The idea for the app came to me during my college days, around 7-8 years ago when I missed an important job acceptance email due to my cluttered inbox. By the time I saw the email, it was already too late. I was thinking of ways to help me stay on top of my emails, and a tinder style swipe based ui was what I thought would be the best way to achieve this. The reason it took so long to start working on the project was because I wanted the app to be incredibly secure by default and didn’t know how to achieve this at that time. But now with more than 6 years of industry experience, being a senior software engineer, I thought it would be a good time to tackle this.

## 📩 The Email Overload Problem

Let’s face it - email overload is a real struggle. Studies show that the [average person receives over 120 emails per day](https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/knowledge-base/how-many-emails-does-the-average-person-receive-per-day/#:~:text=Keeping%20all%20this%20in%20mind%2C%20experts%20generally%20agree%20that%20121%20business%20emails%20are%20sent%20and%20received%20each%20day.%20However%2C%20Radicati%20predicts%20that%2C%20by%20the%20end%20of%202019%2C%20that%20number%20will%20be%20closer%20to%20126.), and if you’re like most people, your inbox is probably cluttered with newsletters, promotions, spam, and important work emails buried in the mess. The traditional method of sorting emails- clicking checkboxes, selecting bulk actions, and manually unsubscribing - is slow and frustrating.

That’s where [**InboxSwipe**](https://inboxswipe.com/) comes in. Instead of wasting time clicking through menus, just swipe your way to a clean inbox.

## 🎯 How InboxSwipe Works

[InboxSwipe](https://inboxswipe.com/) **gamifies email management** with a **Tinder-style card interface**. Instead of a traditional email list, each email appears as a card on your screen, and you can take action with just a swipe:

* **Swipe Left ⬅️** – Delete unwanted emails instantly
    
* **Swipe Right ➡️** – Mark emails as starred for easy access later
    
* **Swipe Up ⬆️** – Unsubscribe from newsletters with one tap
    
* **Swipe Down ⬇️** – Block spam senders forever
    

No more tedious selections, no more overwhelming email lists - just simple, intuitive swiping.

## ✨ Customizable Swipes for Maximum Efficiency

One of the best things about [**InboxSwipe**](https://inboxswipe.com/) is that it’s **fully customizable**. You’re not stuck with default actions - you can assign swipes to match your workflow. Choose from actions like:

✅ **Archive** – Keep emails but remove them from your inbox  
❌ **Delete** – Permanently remove emails with a single swipe  
📩 **Mark as Read** – Instantly clear unread notifications  
⭐ **Mark as Starred** – Highlight important messages  
📌 **Mark as Important** – Prioritize crucial emails  
🚫 **Unsubscribe & Delete All** – Wipe out junk emails forever!  
🗑️ **Unsubscribe & Delete Current** – Remove only the latest email from a sender  
🔕 **Unsubscribe** – Stop future emails without deleting past ones  
🔒 **Block** – Prevent unwanted senders from ever contacting you again  
🙅‍♂️ **Do Nothing** – Skip an email without taking action

This level of customization ensures [**InboxSwipe**](https://inboxswipe.com/) **works exactly how you want it to**, making email cleanup a seamless experience.
