Moo.do for Gmail — Email with powerful task management

@rrhoover We're going to use them for business cards as a show of bovinerly support.
I've been using Moo.do as my to-do list for a couple years and it works well! Excited to try out the Gmail integration.
Neat, reminds me of Sortd skin for Gmail - similar kanban/Trello style for segmenting emails and making them actionable. Biggest differentiator? Seems like a beast of a task mgmt system! Which of the many features are you most stoked about??
Very nice product! Really liked the features and possibilities are many. The only thing I miss is my extensions for gmail (such as mixmax). Anyway it does look and feel awesome.
I've been a paying premium user for the last... year! Moo.do has replaced Workflowy, Todoist, and my personal Trello board. Really happy user, and their development pace is great.
The Gmail plugin is a good example. It has slowly become my preferred daily email client because of the strong todo + calendar actions.
This is something I've needed for awhile! Seems to work so much better than my antiquated labeling system.
Hey Jay, this is totally optional and up to you, but from a psych perspective (and a potential user), I don't like seeing the screenshot with the medium article "how Instagram ruined vacation." That's a negative sounding article headline and you're using that to advertise your product. If you can, maybe pick a better headline? Something more positive or enticing to a potential user than seeing that? I was scrolling down and was like, "oh cool UI.." scroll "oh hmph..". Now, I'm hypercritical about everything I put out and if I'm in the 10% of people that even have that thought stick out to me when looking at a new product and giving feedback, so be it. But I think IMO, that you should change that last screenshot. Hope this helps and that you guys (PHers) don't think I'm crazy for it!
Just started to use the app. Very promising... I wish it had a button to push gmail to it and would allow to edit the subjet into a meaningful task description
@jmeistrich How well does this play with teams. It reminds me of Sortd which doesn't support collaboration yet. would ideally like to have shared boards with team members work together on things
@ajaffarali Moo.do works very well with teams - we already have a lot of teams using Moo.do for managing their projects (including ourselves). We're just getting started with email, so the email features are currently targeted at personal use. And we're working towards enabling collaboration on emails as well as improving the UX for larger teams (like showing activity since last login).
@jmeistrich Thanks- I love the UI and would be interested to use this for PM in our team. Could you give an example on how this can be done. Like maybe creating a shared task or syncing a board across the team?
@ajaffarali Very happy to hear it :). You can create a new document (folder icon at top left) and share that document with your team. Then that document will be synced across the team. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
@frankdenbow The main thing we’re excited about for email is that Moo.do itself is a powerful organization system supporting all the cool modern organization methods, like GTD and Kanban (at the same time!). Integrating Gmail into Moo.do means that email now has all the power of a full task manager, instead of being an unmanageable list sorted by received time.
@chang2301 Tapping the right side of an item completes it. We're working on revamping the mobile app so there will be a swipe menu too.
I'm interested but would first like to know how this app work with various gmail extensions (I'm thinking specifically about Connect and Streak)?
Hi Product Hunt!
You already use email as a todo list, except all your tasks are created by someone else and you can’t prioritize or rearrange them. So we embraced email’s todolistyness and built an email client inside of a powerful task manager, giving email all the tools of a powerful task management system.
Cool new things you can do with your emails:
- Tasks, emails, notes, projects, files, and appointments together in one place
- Drag emails right onto your todo list and calendar
- Work with multiple email labels side by side
- Organize with GTD and Kanban at the same time
- Sort your inbox by priority
Extreme privacy: The Moo.do app communicates directly with Gmail, so your emails are never stored on or read by our servers. We have no access to any of your data because it is stored in and synced by your Google Drive account.

@jmeistrich oh - I missed "todolistyness" on the SAT, but now I see the Latin root...can't believe I missed it...
@bogomep Yanado and many other email + task apps start with email and put simple task management on top of it. We went the other way: Moo.do is a powerful general purpose organizer and task manager with an email client inside of it. Our goal is to make email as powerful as a full-featured organization system. I wrote more about this here if you're interested: https://medium.com/moo-do/were-m...
