Offduty
Hold your Gmail. Deliver it in batches on your schedule.
Offduty holds your incoming Gmail and delivers it in scheduled batches you choose: 9am and 4pm. VIPs keywords, emails and domains get through instantly, Do Not Disturb can block the rest. It works inside Gmail, no new email client needed. 30-day free trial, no card needed.
I'm Fynn from DiscoveryCo, we offer podcast post-production and productivity tools. Working with clients all over the world means emails arrive around the clock, and for a long time that felt fine, even productive. Then I noticed I was checking my phone the moment I woke up and the first thing I'd see every morning was a screen full of work emails. That's not a great way to start day.
The problem wasn't the emails themselves. It was that my inbox had no concept of my schedule. Clients emailed me during their working hours, which was often my evenings and nights, I felt a constant pull to read and respond. I turned on every Do Not Disturb and focus mode I could find. On my phone, my laptop, everywhere, but the emails were still waiting, just one accidental glance away. The problem was never the notifications, the problem was that email just arrived even when I was “offduty”.
So I built offduty.
It holds your Gmail inbox and releases it in batches at times you choose. Your inbox is quiet until you decide it shouldn't be. Since switching to it myself, I’m more productive, calm and in control.
It works inside Gmail, with whatever email client you already use. No migration, no new app to learn.
What it does:
📥 Scheduled delivery: Choose exactly when your inbox opens. Twice a day, once a day, or a fully custom schedule.
⭐ VIP bypass: Add specific senders, domains, or keywords and they skip the hold entirely.
🚚 Deliver on demand: Expecting an important email? One tap releases everything early. You stay in control.
⏸️ Pause holding: Need email to flow normally for a while? Pause the hold temporarily without touching your schedule. It picks back up on its own.
🔢 Live held count: You always know exactly how many emails are waiting. No mystery, no anxiety about what might be piling up. Optionally hidden.
💤 Do Not Disturb: Set a daily quiet window. Nothing gets through during those hours.
We've had a group of people using it for a while, the consistent thing I hear is that the VIP setting changed how they think about their inbox. Instead of treating every email as potentially urgent, they've set the rules for what actually is. I use the VIP whitelist for my most time-sensitive clients. Everything else waits.
