Superhuman

Superhuman is a premium email client engineered to make email faster, smarter, and more productive. Unlike traditional inboxes, it is built around speed, AI assistance, and keyboard-driven navigation, helping users cut through email overload and reclaim hours each week. It works on top of existing Gmail and Outlook accounts, layering on features like AI-powered reply drafting, split inbox categorization, and deep collaboration tools for teams.

• AI-Powered Tools: Compose emails in seconds with Instant Reply, which turns short phrases into complete, personalized messages using AI.
• Split Inbox: Automatically divide your inbox into streams (e.g., VIP, team, newsletters) to prioritize what matters most and ensure nothing important gets buried.
• Follow-Up Reminders: Set reminders to never forget a pending reply; Superhuman nudges you when it’s time to follow up.
• Snippets: Create and insert reusable templates for common phrases, paragraphs, or full emails, drastically cutting repetitive typing.
• Read Statuses: See when and on which device your emails were opened, enabling more strategic and timely follow-ups.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Navigate, compose, and manage your entire inbox without touching the mouse, designed for extreme speed.
• Autocorrect: Intelligent, context-aware typo correction that accelerates typing and reduces errors seamlessly.

1. Request access or sign up: Visit the Superhuman website, submit your email, and complete the onboarding process (historically invite-only but now more open).
2. Connect your email account: Link your Gmail or Outlook account; Superhuman will sync your mailbox, settings, and contacts.
3. Complete the interactive tutorial: The onboarding teaches essential keyboard shortcuts and mindset—commit to learning them for maximum speed.
4. Set up your Split Inbox: Define streams like VIP, Important, and Newsletters based on senders, domains, or keywords to automatically organize incoming mail.
5. Create snippets and reminders: Build a library of canned responses for frequent replies and set reminders on messages that need action later.
6. Customize your workspace: Adjust notification settings, calendar integration, and third-party tool splits (e.g., from Asana, Notion) to tailor the experience to your workflow.

Superhuman follows a subscription model with a monthly fee that is not publicly listed—pricing is shared during onboarding. It is positioned as a premium tool, with cost reflecting the productivity gains it promises. Typically, there is an individual plan and custom enterprise plans for teams that include admin controls, centralized billing, and shared team features. For the most accurate and current pricing, you must contact Superhuman or request access through their official website.

• Desktop app: Native applications for macOS and Windows, delivering the full keyboard shortcut and speed experience.
• Mobile app: Available for iOS; allows on-the-go triage with a simplified interface.
• Web interface: Access Superhuman from any modern browser without installing software.
• Email service compatibility: Works exclusively with Gmail and Outlook (Microsoft 365) accounts as the underlying email provider.
• Integration ecosystem: Connects with tools like Google Calendar, Google Docs, Notion, Asana, and more for split inbox rules and scheduling.

• Learn shortcuts gradually: Focus on 5–10 core shortcuts (e.g., Cmd+K for command palette, E to archive) and add more as muscle memory builds.
• Use Split Inbox aggressively: Treat your main inbox as a “stream” that you process to zero daily; move non-urgent items to streams you check less often.
• Make snippets for everything: Even for one-line replies like “Got it, thanks!”; the time saved adds up quickly across dozens of emails.
• Schedule email time blocks: With Superhuman’s speed, you can clear a full inbox in 20–30 minutes—batch email sessions instead of reacting all day.
• Leverage read statuses smartly: Use them to know when to follow up, not to obsess over who read your message immediately.
• Review presets for AI Instant Reply: It works best when you give it a clear intent; short prompts like “confirm meeting for Tuesday 3pm” yield the best results.

• High-email-volume users who receive 50+ actionable emails per day and need triage tools to avoid drowning.
• Teams that collaborate on email (e.g., support, sales, partnerships) that benefit from shared snippets and visibility into read statuses.
• Keyboard-centric power users who already use shortcuts in other tools and want to apply that muscle to email.
• Professionals who value time above cost—those who see email management as a drain on billable hours or strategic work.
• Executive assistants managing multiple calendars and inboxes who need to switch contexts rapidly.
• Gmail or Outlook users (not ideal for those on ProtonMail, Yahoo, or custom IMAP setups).
