New application for personal productivity called name Ocean Is launching To help you distinguish an overloaded acceptance box, take action to E -Mail, transforming them into tasks and share your availability into meetings with others, all in one application.
Today, Gmail dominates the E -Mail market so much that there are few contenders. Understanding this, the ocean decided to work with Gmail, not competing with him. As an external customer, getting a market position can be difficult, but successful e-mail applications have proven lucrative acquisitions. Yahoo bought the E -Mail Xobni application for $ 60 million, and, for example, Microsoft achieved an achievement for $ 200 million in the previous decade.
This chance on the market attracted co -founders Martin Dorta AND Scott Lake -A early co-founder of Shopify, who created Bigwave Labs At the beginning of 2019 and began to deal with the e -mail mail. This work eventually caused the ocean, an application focused on more efficient E -Mail management. (Scott now functions as more and more financial and application advisor, says Dorta.)
The application works with Gmail or Google Workspace accounts, enabling users to transform the E -Mail messages into tasks and activities so that they do not forget.
To work, the application contains your own task manager, which has access to E -Mail of the user. This means that you do not have to copy or paste information in an external application to do, and instead gain access to functions that go beyond what Google's task manager offers Gmail users.
Thanks to the ocean, you can create tasks using rich formatting, set dates, organize tasks in folders and combine E -Maile with task notes. It can also automatically pull out elements of the longer e -eiles for you.
You can manage E -Mail messages that you mean to answer later, creating a task instead of leaving it unread or using a label.

In the case of receiving enthusiasts, Zero The Killer's function will be the Ocean receiving binder tools.
The application allows you to filter emails by categories such as primary (people who have sent you an e-mail for the first time), persistent pingers (people who send an e-mail to you many times) and emails from your contacts. It can even send E -Maile, which are marked as spam, but they may belong to your inbox, so you won't miss anything important.
The ocean also offers subscription management tools – recently added Gmail functions – in addition to the basic functions of composing, answering, determining, archiving and removing E -Mail messages.
In addition, the ocean offers built -in meetings planning tools that allow you to set your availability based on expectations and reservations. Here you can set your opening times and block others before booking these meetings at the last minute, which is a useful trick.
You can also send an automatic invitation to E -Mail to a meeting of recipients, confirm the proposals for meeting the interface and automatically add confirmed meetings to the calendar.
. Ocean iPhone application It has just been launched, but the new MAC application is in the field that will contain iCloud synchronization. The team expects it to start it by the end of the year. The company aims to generate revenues through its non -matching model of membership, Ocean Blue, which costs USD 67. Membership includes annual updates with new functions and functions. It also offers access to the MAC application when it arrives.
“I think people are fed up with repetitive subscriptions,” explains Dorta. “We wanted to leave from it, but we still provide a model that would be balanced for us. We decided to define this membership in the ocean. The application is basically a freeemium model – you get basic functions for free,” he continues. “(Membership) exerts pressure on us to make sure that we provide value to this application when we go forward,” he adds.
Blue membership will also contain the Summary Functions of E -Maili AI and E -Mail observations.
Interested users can first test the ocean into a 14-day free process that does not automatically transform you into a paid subscriber.
