Tempo is out of Beta — Now it’s time to focus
Since Tempo entered public Beta at the end of 2019, we’re proud to have shared our vision of what email could be with 12,000 like-minded users, which have helped us shape Tempo to where it is today. Now, after a year-long journey of blood, sweat, and emails, we couldn’t be more excited to announce that Tempo is finally out of Beta!
We dreamt of building a solution that would reduce the amount of time spent checking email notifications and our inbox, giving us more time to focus on being productive elsewhere. Over time, this idea grew into offering a solution that’s not only for us but something for everyone to feel in total control of their email and not to let it take over their life. This solution became Tempo.
If you’re already not familiar, let’s take a quick look at the benefits of using Tempo.
You’ll check your inbox less
Tempo helps you stay out of your inbox by bundling new emails and delivering them in batches based on your schedule. The time spent going back-and-forth between your inbox and checking notifications can now be spent focusing on everything else, be it work, hobbies, or spending time with friends.
You’ll effortlessly sort through your inbox
In Tempo, you’re able to sort through new emails in one-go, allowing you to make quick decisions about what’s important and what’s not. Mark every email that needs your attention as To do, then archiving the rest. It turns an overwhelming task into something manageable.
You’ll never lose track of your important email
Everything you care about that you’ve marked as To do — say an invoice from a client or an update from your family — is kept in a separate list for you to have a clearer overview of what matters the most.
You’ll actually enjoy writing emails
Email communication should be an enjoyable experience, and dare I say it, should be a cherished experience. In Tempo, the Compose and Focus mode does just that. Block out all distractions, and focus on that moment in time.

What’s on the Tempo horizon?
As we look forward to 2021, we aim to:
Give newsletters the love they deserve
With more and more independent creators writing and curating inspiring newsletter content, we want to honor them by offering a dedicated space to read and appreciate this art form.
Provide more personalization to your workflow
Tempo is opinionated by design, but we also want you to make it yours. We’re working on several features that will allow you to personalize Tempo, from a customizable workspace layout to more freedom to organize your emails. We can’t wait to share this with you.
Reduce the amount of time spent on mobile
Day by day, we’re closer to the launch of Tempo mobile. In fact, the iOS version is already in the hands of a few members of Tempo’s wonderful community. Sign up to get notified when Tempo mobile is live.
Grow the Tempo team
When the app went into Beta, the team consisted of three people. Now, we have eight team members spread across Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Lyon, and Utrecht. Over the next few months, we aim to grow the team by another two members, which means we’re hiring! We’re currently looking for a React-Native Developer & Product Advocate. Want to work with us? Visit our careers page.

As we continue to push out updates and improvements, we want to share every step of the Tempo journey with you. To keep up-to-date on the world of Tempo, sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Twitter.
