What is it?

Superhuman is a replacement for the Gmail or Outlook interface, built to get you through email faster. Everything has a keyboard shortcut, and the app splits your inbox so important mail is separate from newsletters and notifications.

The AI side writes draft replies in your voice before you even open a message, summarises long threads and lets you ask questions about your inbox. It has an official Claude connection, so Claude can search your mail and draft messages on your behalf. The company now also owns Grammarly.

It is expensive for an email app and the keyboard-first approach takes a week to learn. Only worth it if email is a big part of your day.

Who it's for

Founders, executives and salespeople who live in their inbox and want to spend less time there.

Best for

  • Getting to inbox zero daily
  • AI-drafted replies
  • Keyboard-driven triage
  • Follow-up reminders

Why it made the list

Still the fastest email experience available, and the AI drafts are good enough to send with light edits.
