A new inbox service called Twobird was launched on Wednesday with claims that it is “reimagining” email.
Twobird was developed by the GingerLabs team that developed Notability,
a note-taking app.
Twobird is designed to help users “create and share content more easily, in real-time, with Twobird notes inside email," states Garrett Mitchell, head engineer for
Twobird.
In addition, Twobird allows users to write emails, share grocery lists, assign project tasks, schedule calendar events and set reminders for to-dos, the company claims.
It is not yet clear what impact, if any, Twobird will have on the delivery of marketing emails.
Twobird is now available for download by Gmail users for free in the Apple App Store and
Google Play Store for Gmail users globally, and will soon be offered to Microsoft users.
