Changelog: what is new in Gadfly

10 November 2026

Silence noisy senders. Silence a sender, or just one kind of title from them. That mail still arrives unread, but sends no notifications to your phone or desktop. Un-silence it from any such mail.
Group similar emails and decide them at once. Three or more unread mails from one sender with similar titles? Gadfly offers to group them into one scrollable card: archive, delete or forward them all in one tap. Any single mail can still go its own way, to-do included.
Android. The phone app on Android, with widgets and push.
Windows. The same desktop app, signed for Windows.
Linux. The same desktop app on Linux, keyboard triage included.

Pressure that rises until it is done. Every to-do sits in a band set by its deadline: calm, hot a week out, burning two days out, critical once overdue. As the date nears it climbs, and critical ones break through your quiet hours. Other apps remind you once; Gadfly keeps the pressure on.
Lock screen and home screen widgets. Your hottest to-dos on the iPhone lock screen and home screen, critical first, plus unread count. Private on a locked phone: band and short title only.
Deadlines that follow the conversation. When a new message arrives, the deadline is read again from the whole thread. "We will get back to you next week" moves it; a contract expiry stays put. A date you set is never touched.
New mail in seconds. Live IMAP IDLE sync; Gmail inboxes are checked every five seconds.
Unified inbox and Sent. Every account in one inbox, one Sent view ordered by when you sent, conversations threaded.

Search to-dos and mail together. One search across to-dos and every folder of every account, on the phone and the desktop.
One account, every device. To-dos, read state and preferences sync instantly. Open the same to-do on two devices and you get one recap, not two.
Hosted in the EU. Servers in Germany, run under GDPR. The AI provider does not train on your mail.

Nudges on time, never spam. A push an hour before a to-do is due, or at your morning briefing for all-day ones. Quiet hours and a daily cap keep you from muting it; critical ones break through. Read it anywhere and the notification goes away everywhere.
Every to-do has a deadline. The date the mail states, else an estimate from what is asked and who is waiting, else a default by importance. No to-do can silently rot without a date.
Your starred mail becomes to-dos. Connect an account and the 15–20 mails you starred "to deal with later" become to-dos with deadlines. Star in Gmail or Outlook later and it shows up too; finish it and the star goes away.
Deadlines with evidence. A deadline taken from the mail shows the sentence it came from. No mystery dates.
Calendar invitations. Add an invitation to your calendar straight from the mail.
iPhone and iPad. Native iOS app with widgets, push notifications and passkey sign-in. Foldable Duo layouts too.
Encrypted at rest with a key per user. Bodies, subjects, summaries and to-do titles are sealed with AES-256-GCM under your own key. Delete your account and the key goes with it, backups included.

The Chase list. One list of what is on fire right now: by band, then importance, then the earliest date. Open the app and you know what to do next.
One mail at a time. Unread mail comes as a deck: one message, three choices — delete, archive or to-do. Untriaged mail is debt, and Gadfly shows how much of it you have.
Triage suggestions that learn. Each mail arrives with a suggested action. Accept with one key. It learns from what you do with each sender.
Spam rules and learned templates. Mark one newsletter or notification as spam and its template is caught next time, from any sender.
Reply, reply all, forward, drafts. A real composer with saved drafts, signatures per account and forwards to saved addresses that finish the to-do.
Remote images on request. Tracking pixels stay blocked until you choose to load images, per sender.

Turn any email into a to-do in one tap. Press T, swipe, or tap ＋ TO-DO. The email thread becomes a task with importance and a deadline, and the inbox stays at zero.
Importance: important, normal, low. Set by you or suggested by Claude. It orders to-dos inside each band and sets how soon a guessed deadline lands.
Snooze, done, drop. Snooze a to-do until a date, finish it, or drop it on purpose. Dropped is kept apart from done, so you see what you chose not to do.
Thread summaries. A short English summary on top of every to-do: who wants what by when. Long threads with forwarded history folded away.
Reads attachments too. PDFs and Word documents are read for deadlines and asks, so a date buried in an attached contract still lands on the to-do.
Yours always wins. Claude proposes importance and deadline; any value you set by hand is never overwritten by AI.
Any email account. Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo, or any IMAP server. Type your email and password and the server is found for you.
Mac. A full desktop client with keyboard triage: # delete, E archive, T to-do, Enter accept.
Passkeys and two-factor. Sign in with a passkey (Face ID, Touch ID, a security key) or a password plus an authenticator code, with backup codes.
