Digests are a powerful tool that allow you to combine communications from like-minded brands into one convenient email - delivered at your desired date and time. You can also add filters to further curate your digest content.
lockrMail is amazing! Iโve been using it for several months now. The team is super responsive and reported bugs are always fixed so quickly. I also love the UI - super easy to use. This new feature is going to bring the utility of lockrMail to the next level!
@rubengersons Thanks so much for being an early product user and providing such valuable feedback! You have truly helped shape Digests into what it is! ๐
I'm a happy and proud Lockrmail user and I love what @keithepetri and the team have created. I happy to see that everyone has access to digests now - go try it!
@howardgr you spoil us! Thanks for being there since day 1! If you have any feedback don't hesitate to share here or with me directly. A few more exciting things on the roadmap ๐
Thanks @jtluchs! There is no limit on either! Depending on your email client, if you have a lot of emails in a single Digest, the message may get clipped (though you can still view in the browser), so you may want to set delivery on those more frequently.
Hi Everyone! ๐ Iโm Keith Petri, founder of lockr. We are thrilled to launch Digests by lockrMail on Product Hunt today!
Since our initial launch in 2021, we have grown to tens of thousands of users and added many new product features (https://lockrmail.com/product-re...), but I am most excited to share with you the first iteration of Digests!
๐ Introducing Digests ๐
As productivity enthusiasts, we created lockrMail to give you more control over your inbox, but one key aspect was always missing - the WHEN.
To say receiving emails throughout the day is distracting is an understatement. If youโre like me, youโre constantly taking small breaks to check your inbox - interrupting your work productivity or even time with friends and family on the weekends. With lockrMail Digests, you can limit the volume of communications you receive by bundling similar Senders into a single digest. You can also control when that email is received, effectively optimizing delivery to fit your busy schedule.
๐About lockrMail ๐
lockrMail is a new email, but not a new inbox. When you sign-up for lockrMail, you create a public-facing email address that you can feel confident using across the web. lockrMail seamlessly forwards all communication to your current inbox. You can decide if you want to allow or block a sender, add a filter, block an entire domain, and (now!) create a digest.
๐งนReduce inbox clutter - pre-filter for relevant content.
๐ซ Preserve your privacy - never give out your personal email again.
๐ง Maintain your email routine - lockrMail seamlessly forwards all communication to any email client.
lockrMail is a FREE product. While Digests is currently an early access feature, for this week only (in celebration of our Product Hunt launch! ๐) we are offering instant ๐ฅ access to Digests for all new Product Hunt users. Simply register with the link above and snag your preferred username while it's still available!
For any existing lockrMail users, you need only refer one friend to lockrMail and weโll give you access to Digests as well.
My team and I so appreciate your support and look forward to your questions and feedback! ๐
Congrats on the launch! I've started using a very similar product a few weeks ago and was very surprised how many newsletters can be sent in just one digests to read once a day and still never miss anything, already paid for that service for a year and I think it's the future of reading those newsletters!
@maxslch glad to hear the problem resonated with you. As you continue to use the competitor I would welcome you to ping me on Twitter and share any of the features that resonate with you the most - we are always looking for ways to improve and hope we can serve you further on down the line.
Been a user for a few months now and am immensely enjoying the easy filtering capabilities the tool grants the end users. I have referred a few friends since, and got access to the Digest, which allows me to say that I still wish the digest was the default for the daily blocked email format. I will also say that @keithepetri is very responsive on their Twitter when some strangeness happens :) Keep up the great work.
@zemartial - great to hear from you. Certainly trials and tribulations as we perfect the service and continue to scale (hence why we love the Product Hunt community so much!). Thanks for being an early product user and understanding that we sometimes release features before they are perfect!
Thanks @zemartial for the feedback! Are you saying you wish the lockrBox email had the same format as Digests? Would love to get more clarity on what you mean so we can take it into consideration.
@jenny_hagan, of course: the default "Here's what you missed..." email just shows the blocked emails as a list, while the digest shows a few lines of each received email. Those few lines would make it easier to decide if I want a blocked email sent since there is no way to preview blocked emails.
I do enjoy the fact that I can reply to an email, and it will reply with the lockrmail address.
I have had issues with filtering rules but did not investigate further at the time, likely user errors :)
@zemartial thank you this is really helpful feedback and we will definitely discuss. I can for sure see how that would be useful! As for filters - the footers in the email can often be the culprit as they contain a lot of key words that may not always be in the email itself. But if you click โflag filter errorโ button on the email wrapper it will send us a notice and weโd be happy to investigate. We may be able to suggest a better filter combination or the error could help us improve our filter logic. Thanks for being such a great user!
I am a newsletter-lover which is a blessing and a curse. Excited to test out Digests as a new format to consolidate my many daily and weekly newsletters!
Just signed up and I have to say I love your UI you guys did a great job. As a UX designer myself I always check what others do. The feature that allows to set up when I receive emails is something I wish I had 10 years ago. Will dive into the Digests too)
@helendomina thanks so much for the support. We are always improving and our early users are what has helped shaped the current UI you see. Excited to hear your thoughts as you get settled! ๐
Congrats on the launch! ๐ I am new to lockrMail and just created my account. I went to create a digest but donโt seem to be able to add any senders - what am I doing wrong?
Hi @bidkaromaniuk - thanks so much! Pumped youโve signed up for lockrMail. Your lockrMail is your new public-facing email address - that means that brands must email your lockrMail alias (instead of your Gmail, outlook, work email, etc.) in order for them to show in your dashboard as โSendersโ. Iโd recommend signing up for a few sites with your lockrMail email - as soon as they contact your lockrMail, they will display as Senders and youโll be able to add them to a Digest. If you already have accounts or subscriptions coming to a personal email - simply switch it over to your lockrMail email.
@bidkaromaniuk In the "Discover" section of the site, you can find suggested newsletters and sites where you can use your lockrMail along with registration links. This is a great place to start getting a few new Senders to your lockrMail so you can test out the Digest functionality!
@nigelsounds No - we ask for your email address because that is where your emails are delivered, but we do not authenticate into your personal email or access any of your existing emails or data.
