Respond: Q3 roadmap review
Archive: New follower

How it works

  1. Paste a list of email subject lines, one per line.
  2. The tool scans each for urgency and action-needed cues.
  3. See them grouped into act-now, respond, and archive buckets.

The method

Subjects are matched against keyword patterns — due dates and invoices lean toward "act now," questions and "Re:" threads lean toward "respond," and notification-style phrasing leans toward "archive."

FAQ

What categories does it sort into?

Subjects are grouped into buckets like "Act now" (time-sensitive), "Respond" (needs a reply), and "Archive" (informational or low priority), based on common wording patterns.

Does this connect to my actual email account?

No — this only sorts subject lines you paste in. It doesn't read, access, or connect to your inbox.

Can I paste a whole day's worth of subjects at once?

Yes — paste one subject per line and the tool sorts the full batch into the same categories at once.
