More than a status
An email is not only read, unread, or archived. It can hide a quote to send, a decision to make, a follow-up you will otherwise miss.
Todo · built into Talanoa
Turn any email
into a task.
Read, unread, archived — that is not a workflow. Some mail is work you still have to do. Catch it before it disappears.
The interactive demo needs a desktop screen. Open this page on a computer to try it.
Inbox to board
Convert any message into a task without leaving Talanoa. Drag it to Todo, In Progress, or Done — the way you already think about work.
Nothing slips
Archive the thread when you are done reading. The work stays on the board, still linked to the original email.
Work hides in mail
Archive is not the same
Archive is not the same
as done.
Inbox Zero treats every message as something to clear. But a lot of email is unfinished work: a contract to review, a quote to send, a person to get back to. Marking it read does not do the work.
- Turn any email into a task in one click
- Keep the thread attached, so context never lives in another app

A real board
See the work,
See the work,
not just the mail.
Todo, In Progress, Done. Drag a task across the board the moment you start it. Open it and you are back in the original thread — no hunting, no second tool.
- A Kanban view of everything that still needs you
- Due dates, labels, and notes without leaving the email
- Done means done — not “archived and forgotten”
One inbox. One board.
Nothing missed.
Give email work a place that is not read, unread, or archived.
