Go from inbox chaos... to a calm workday

Email apps still assume “inbox” means giant threads. But you work with people, across projects, juggling multiple roles.

  • Tick Conversations split across threads
  • Tick Buried by promos, bots, and noise
  • Tick Important work gets lost
  • Tick Missed follow-ups, unclear priorities
  • Tick Inbox feels heavy every morning
After
Tick With Talanoa
  • Tick All emails with every contact, in one place
  • Tick Only real people and work in focus
  • Tick Key work visible, never buried
  • Tick Next steps, front and center
  • Tick Inbox feels calm and in your control

The inbox we need and deserve

As a web engineer , I love designing products that solve real problems. I’ve lost count of the side projects I've built, but the idea for Talanoa first came to me in 2014:
“What if we could handle emails like conversations ?”
Every year, I would revisit this idea in my “Build Note”.
Ten years later, no one had created what I had in mind.
So I built Talanoa.

For anyone with a complex workday

Talanoa isn’t just for founders or indie builders. If you juggle multiple roles, accounts, or side projects, Talanoa is for you.

As a freelance developer, I deal with a lot of client emails and Talanoa makes it so much easier to stay on top of everything . Talanoa gives me a much better overview of my inbox. I really like their fresh take on how an email client should work. Definitely worth trying if you want a more organized and intuitive email experience.
