Superhuman

Czym jest Superhuman?

Superhuman is a great email client focused on high efficiency through support for keyboard shortcuts and a superbly optimized UI. Its major limitation is that it only connects to gmail or GSuite mailboxes.

Errors: Several times I encountered synchronization errors and even a situation when I lost the draft of a written message. Sometimes there are problems with message formatting and the text customization options themselves are quite limited, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. And the last disadvantage is that it takes much longer to perform actions on multiple threads simultaneously than it does with gmail.

Using Superhuman:.

  • I have 5 mailboxes, switched by a shortcut ⌃1-5
  • k and j switches the next and previous message
  • ⇧ and up/down arrows highlight messages in the inbox
  • a shortcut gi takes you to the inbox view
  • / activates the search engine
  • ⇧? enables the list of keyboard shortcuts
  • ⌘K Enables the command palette (extremely useful)
  • I archive all messages or eventually assign labels to them (action required / awaiting response)
  • with an asterisk I mark outstandingly important news
  • I use the schedule send option
  • I will reply to the rest of the messages immediately
  • I write the content of long emails in Optimization/Tools/iA Writer and then with the help of the Projects/Design Maestro macro. (available in the premium version) I convert the markdown syntax into styled text and paste it right into the body of the message.
    • this macro will be available in the premium version of Design Maestro
  • I use the Optimization/Tools/Keyboard Maestro macro to create new messages based on the contents of the clipboard
    • this macro is not publicly available
  • Superhuman notifications I have disabled, but some messages are forwarded to the Slack channel, which has the right to add notifications to me as long as I am not in DND mode.
  • I use Split Inbox (search for a thread, activate ⌘K palette, select split inbox, give name. TIP: you can use formulas in the search, such as whether )
  • I additionally filter the newsletters for myself with the help of Optimization/Tools/MakeHQ
  • automation scenarios are not publicly available
  • I use superhuman:// to link threads directly (opens the application)
  • I use the Superhuman mobile application. As for it, I do not have the slightest reservations
  • I work on the basis of inbox 0 and do not write back to all messages if I do not see the need.

Interesting fact: Optimization/Tools/Cron is a calendar created in the spirit of Superhuman.
