Inbox zero isn’t just a buzz term… it’s a way of life. Back in 2013, I wrote about how I destroyed email and the feedback I received was overwhelming. So many people were so happy to have been given some guidance and some useful tools, and the reason is obvious: Email is awful unless you constantly keep it under control.
Now it’s 2015, and there are a wide range of new tools at users’ disposal that can help in the quest to achieve inbox zero. And one of the newest available tools is a new iPhone app appropriately named “Zero.”

Released just yesterday, Zero is the latest in a long line of apps that aim to help users keep their inboxes clean and clear. In the case of Zero, it achieves this using a simple swipe-based interface that makes it easy to quickly flip through emails, disregard what you don’t need, and save what’s important.
Here’s a video that shows how it works:
I’ve tried the app and while the developers have done a great job on the interface, I will say that it’s not for me. I’m sticking with Mailbox for several reasons — in a nutshell, an email app is useless for me personally if it doesn’t have extensive and flexible snooze features, as well as an experience that carries over from mobile to desktop.
Zero is completely free to download from the iOS App Store. The app’s full description follows below, along with a download link.
Zero is a revolutionary email organizer app designed to help you deal with large quantities of mail while keeping your inbox clean with the Inbox Zero philosophy. Zero works with most popular email providers, including Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook and iCloud.
Zero is an email app created to shrink the amount of mail in your mailbox to nothing. Unlike other email apps, Zero focuses on the mail you should keep, rather than what you should delete. More than a simple search or email tracker app, Zero transforms the idea of inbox management, creating a clean flow with easy access to the most important parts of each email.
The Zero mail app introduces the MailFeed, a space where all of your emails are presented in a summarized card format for easy reading. With MailFeed attention is focused on one email at a time, which allows the user to rapidly determine what action to take with each message. Swiping through the emails you do not need will automatically archive them, cleaning your inbox with every swipe.
