I am very grateful for Steve's having brought Sortd to my attention. After trying various Email addons for years, I have found in Sortd one that provides precisely what I need. After less than a week of daily use, it has clarified my thinking, reduced my stress, and boosted my productivity. I believe my quest is over!
Well that worked out nicely!
I'm using the *Sortd* app for Gmail, and I'm loving the experience thus far. I like the experience of using Trello type functionality with my email messages. Nice to see how we're able to add Gmail messages to a list, and also have the ability to add notes to a particular task. Obvious winner in my book.
Great video Steve! I hear you saying in the video that are concerned about what some productivity people might think of using your emails as your tasks and keeping them into your inbox, but that's not actually what's happening here I think. I'm also someone who thinks that you should clear out your inbox and create tasks for emails that you still want to do something with. But the thing is: that is exactly what Sortd does!
1. You can give a different description to the email once you put it in one of the columns, so there you can create the real task description.
2. There is a setting in case you want to archive an email right away after you dragged the email to a column. (See Advanced settings).
3. By archiving or deleting the email from your inbox column, you actually get your inbox to zero :-)
So I think it is great that they created a task manager on top of your email inbox. I think it might really help people to have a better way of dealing with their email.
I am installing this app now and it seems to be a great way to work combining email with to do tasks, thank you for the video.
Hey Steve -- I think that Sortd is a great tool. I've been using it for a few days. I did notice that sometimes when you want to Put a particular email in a folder,you need to type in a few more letters of that folder for it to display. Other than that I think Sortd is a great product. Thanks for the heads up!!!
So where is the actual email that you dragged over to a Sortd column? If you were at a computer/device that didn't have sortd installed, would you see that message where it used to be, or somewhere else?
Hi Steve. I came across Sorted by accident and just started using it. So far it is just what I am looking for. I like being able to customise the lists, I am just building a new computer and can keep all of the emails, invoices, delivery notifications all in one place until this project is done. I also like being able to switch so quickly and easily between the GMail interface and sorted. I think this is going to work for me. Thanks for the video.
I think wunderlist and todoist have the right balance of email/task manager by allowing you forward emails to your account. I would be curious what costs are involved as well as if you can attach item to newly created tasks. Good post though.
Hi There, I just installed this app for my G-Suite email. It doesn't seem to be working correctly. I checked app permissions and it states that access was granted... can you help? Thanks!
I've been using Sortd and liked it, but using some of your suggestions I think I can LOVE it. One thing, I have had to uninstall and re-install it a few times. I think it's Chrome, not Sortd ;-D
OMG! Steve...this is AWESOME! this literally solves almost all of my issues! Did this product used to be called TRELLO? Don't remember Trello being this incredible...but Sortd is just amazing.
No relationship to Trello but it does look similar
I really do like Sort'd and the concept BUT I need the app to be able to see new emails as they come in and be able to move them to their lists. Right now it can only view the emails and tasks you have in the lists.
Good video Steve. Will give this a try. Thanks.
Thanks Steve, I'll try it
There are a couple of Google extensions I would like to try to get my inbox under control. Is it all right to have multiple extensions that do the same thing or similar things, added on at the same time? Or is it better to try one at a time?Or will they even work if you have more than one added?
May I ask if you are still using Sortd, and if you like it as much as you thought you would? Thanks!
am also interested to hear whether you are still utilizing this add-on. Thanks!
I am not seeing the conversations past the first (or maybe most recent) email. I am I missing something?
How to install Sortd Gmail Add-on, and how much time it take to be installed and activated for use
LOVE your videos, they're the perfect note between PACKED WITH INFO and FUN TO WATCH, thank you! I have a question about Sortd - is there a way to create rules or filters so that when an incoming email has, say, a certain subject line it is automatically sorted into the right list, or labelled a certain way, etc?
Thanks! I am not sure, it has been a while since I tested it.
They appear to be using "Kanban swimlanes" to re-visualise email into tasks. That's too much re-visualization for me. Personally, I prefer using the combination of TODO-ist and Boomerang with Gmail. So no, thanks for me.
That looks really nice! If you do like it, Steve, will you end up doing a follow up with the iPhone app?
I just wondered if you were aware of ActiveInbox that is an absolutely fabulous Gmail extension I have been using since it's early days. It is even better than this in my opinion a total project management tool, well worth a look!
Yes, I've not used in a while but Active inbox has a good reputation, And when I used in the past it was very full-featured
Steve what is your opinion now on this and is it better than Activinbox in your opinion?
Thanks Steve. I like the interface and I think I like using it. One problem I am having is this. I do not know how to view the string within the original email. When someone replies to my email I see the original email in my inbox but I can't see there reply. I am having to go back into the regular gmail interface. I am assuming there must be a way to do this. Can you help me out?
Thanks.
Very good post, Steve. Thanks. I began to look at it and sounds promising. I've seen people reacting and talking about Streak. Is it something worth to investigate as well?
Back to Sortd: I did not succeed in grouping emails. Could you help?
Thanks
Does it work with Inbox?
So, are you still using Sortd? If so, how is it going and do you have any further tips? Have you tried it on mobile?
I still have it installed, but I am not the best "long term" tester for this as I have already tried out one more Email client since the video.....
are you still using it?
Hi, Sunrise Calendar is shutting down, what is your next favorite Calendar?
So far just Google cal,
I also found Mix Max very buggy did you ever report on this again?
What kind of Multi-Account functionality does this extension have? :) Great video once again Dotto
Multi accounts is based on your Gmail account, I have multiple accounts feeding into mine and sortd it seems to work fine
there's only 4 categories?
You can have more than four lists
Is there [any] concern that "Sortd" could steal or have access to any of your email without your knowledge? In other words, compromise anything personal?
That did not cross my mind, it's not a big concern for me
dottotech okay, thanks !
yes that's my question?
Organized is misspelled in the title.....Just letting you know.
Thanks! Missed that.
And it's "important", rather than "Imporant"...
It's not in my mac book air app store????
You download it from their site, it is a plug-in for chrome
Are you continuing to use Sortd?
Off and on, I am constantly trying out different solutions.
There are people who have this app works on Android 5.0 with account Gapps on domain?
Steve, Why are we talking about Gmail, when Google is all the time trying to push us to 'Inbox', not that I am a great fan of 'Inbox'
I don't feel that Google is trying to push us to inbox, and I don't really like inbox so that's why I spend so much time on Gmail
I don't know, my take is that Google is trying very hard to push us into Inbox, I may be wrong..
'IMPORANT'?
;)
Too "busy looking"....I am not going to try it.
Fair enough
I think I'll stick with Streak for now.
If it's working there's no need to change!
Can you share the differences or advantages of Streak over this as I'm new to this and trying to decide between the two

I did not like it. Too difficult to use and I don;t have time to mess with it.
