Amie Adds Email Integration to Revolutionize Your Productivity
There’s a reason why some people are die-hard Microsoft Outlook fans. It brings together your emails, your calendar events, and your contacts in a single app. But . . . it’s Outlook. And some people can’t stand its convoluted interface.
Amie’s New Email Feature
Amie, one of the most innovative calendar apps on the market, is adding emails to its platform. The goal? To make scheduling meetings and managing your calendar and emails seamless, so users don’t have to constantly switch between apps.
This new feature is part of Amie’s 1.0 release after two years in private beta. The waitlist has been removed, and now anyone can sign up and download the app without needing an invite code.
How Amie is Competing with Outlook and Notion
Founder and CEO Dennis Müller shared that the company was initially worried about the impact of Notion Calendar’s launch, which occurred last week. Surprisingly, the release has been a positive event for Amie.
“I expected their launch to be negative for us. It ended up being very positive,” Müller said. Notion, after acquiring the calendar startup Cron, integrated its features into Notion Calendar. While Cron has been widely praised for its simplicity, Notion’s version has seen little innovation since the acquisition.
"We want to give users everything they care about on one display, just like Apple CarPlay. We believe in a unified, seamless productivity experience."
Innovation in Calendar Apps
Amie is pushing the boundaries of what a calendar app can do. Unlike traditional calendar apps like Google Calendar and Outlook, Amie offers more than just scheduling events.
It allows users to create tasks that aren’t necessarily tied to specific times but can later be dragged and dropped into their weekly view. If you already use a task management app like Notion, Todoist, or Things, Amie can sync with those platforms to keep your tasks and calendar aligned.
Email Integration: A Game Changer
Amie is bringing email into the calendar experience with its new email inbox feature. The email section appears in the left column, like a to-do list, and refreshes in real-time as new messages come in. This lets users check their emails and reply directly in Amie without switching apps.
While the email integration is still in its early stages, it offers a simple but effective solution for users who want to manage their emails alongside their calendar. You can even generate Calendly-like links to share your availability with others and email them directly from within the app.
A Powerful Tool for Teams
Amie shines in team settings, too. The app allows you to check the availability of colleagues in real time by hovering over their profile picture. Users can also link multiple accounts, keeping their personal and work calendars in one place.
Split-Screen Feature for Mobile
On mobile devices, Amie offers a split-screen feature that allows you to view your email and calendar side by side. This makes it easy to schedule meetings or check your calendar while responding to emails in real-time.
