Are you tired of switching back and forth between your email client and calendar app just to schedule a meeting or check if you have time to tackle a task? Well, Amie, one of the most innovative calendar apps on the market, has got your back! 📅✉️
In a major update, Amie has added email integration to its already impressive list of features. Now, you can access your emails directly within the app, without the hassle of opening multiple tabs or applications. Say goodbye to the Outlook nightmare! 😅
A Cautious Launch, but an Exciting Journey Ahead
After spending a few years in private beta, Amie has finally launched its highly-anticipated 1.0 version, which includes the new email functionality. Previously, users needed an invite code to join the Amie community, but the app is now available to everyone. The founder and CEO of Amie, Dennis Müller, made this move after Notion released its own calendar app, Notion Calendar, which intrigued him. Surprisingly, this competition has turned out to be beneficial for Amie, bringing them a wave of positivity. 🌊
Dennis Müller had high praise for Cron, a calendar startup that Notion acquired to develop its second app. He acknowledged Cron’s outstanding calendar features that focused on getting the basics right. However, he felt that Notion Calendar had not evolved much since the acquisition, leaving room for Amie to shine. 💡
Amie: More Than Just Another Calendar App
The emergence of Notion Calendar provides further evidence that the world of calendars extends beyond the dominance of Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Just as there is room for multiple task management apps, there is a demand for diverse calendar apps as well. Amie, with its beautifully designed interface and attention to detail, offers a unique take on the traditional calendar app.
Amie operates seamlessly with your Google account, importing and displaying your Google Calendar events in a user-friendly interface. But that’s not all! Amie goes the extra mile by integrating task management directly into the app. Many of us create events as reminders for tasks throughout the week. Amie recognizes this and allows you to create tasks effortlessly in the left column, just like adding bullet points to a list. And when you’re ready, you can easily drag and drop these tasks into your week view to convert them into events.
You don’t have to worry if you’re using a third-party task management app; Amie has you covered! With integrations for apps like Notion, Linear, Things, Todoist, and Ticktick, you can either import your tasks or keep them synchronized across platforms. It’s all about flexibility and convenience! 🤝
A Social Calendar for Teams
While Amie is an excellent tool for individuals, its collaborative features truly shine when used with coworkers. Each user has a profile card in the sidebar, allowing you to quickly check their availability with a simple hover. Additionally, Amie supports multiple accounts, enabling you to view personal and work calendars side by side. Collaborating with your teammates has never been easier! 👥
Amie also lets you generate Calendly-like links, making it effortless to share your availability with others. Simply paste the generated link into an email conversation, and voila! The recipient can easily find a time that suits both of your schedules. And now, with the new email integration, you can send emails directly from the app, eliminating the need to switch between applications. It’s all about streamlining your workflow! 📎📧
The Email Revolution
Amie’s email integration may still be in its early stages, but it certainly packs a punch. Inspired by Apple’s CarPlay, Amie aims to bring all the essential components of productivity onto a single display. In Amie, your email inbox is represented as another todo list on the left column, which updates in real time as new emails arrive. You can read and reply to emails within the app, no need to switch back and forth anymore! 📥💬
But here’s where it gets even better: you can drag and drop emails onto your calendar to schedule a time to reply or take action. Need to arrange a meeting? Mention it in a drafted email, and Amie will show you a preview card of your calendar at the proposed time, checking for any conflicts. You can even turn highlighted text within an email into an Amie task. Talk about efficiency! 💪
On mobile devices, Amie offers a split-screen feature that allows you to view both your inbox and calendar simultaneously. Simply drag and drop the screen divider to customize your view. It’s a visually satisfying experience that maximizes productivity on the go. Check out the demo video to see it in action! 📱✨
Premium for Extra Perks
With the introduction of email integration, Amie has also launched a premium plan. The features we’ve discussed so far will remain free for all users. However, exclusive access to the new email functionality will be available only for Amie Pro subscribers, who will pay a monthly fee of $15/€12. This fee also entitles users to upcoming AI-powered features, such as automatic scheduling of tasks. Amie is committed to continuous innovation! 🔒💡
Beyond Amie: The Calendar App Market
Notion Calendar may be grabbing the headlines, but Amie faces competition from other players looking to revolutionize the calendar experience. Rise, Routine, Daybridge, Motion, Akiflow, and Fantastical (for Apple users) are just some of the contenders in the race. Each app has its own unique selling points, creating a vibrant and competitive market.
As of now, Amie boasts a team of 14 talented individuals and has raised a total of $8 million in funding. With their outstanding features and relentless pursuit of excellence, Amie aims to become a true standout in the highly competitive calendar app arena. We look forward to witnessing their journey unfold and see if they can truly become “a one-in-a-million-product,” as founder Dennis Müller envisions. 🚀✨
