https://www.paced.email is a service I built to buffer users from email. It aggregates multiple inbound emails into single messages based on a desired cadence. There's a dashboard, but after signing up, there's no real need to sign in as I designed the system to generate aliases on the fly using an easy to remember format.

E.g.

- johndoe@daily.paced.email

- johndoe.hackernews@weekly.paced.email

- johndoe.github@monthly.paced.email

- Or xyz@example.com if you bring your own domain.

The UI came about after being requested so much, but the original interface still stands.

The landing page says it's $59/year for premium functionality, but the actual pricing page says it's $90/year (which violated my expectations as a customer, unless I misunderstand what's happening.)

Apologies. The pricing is indeed $90/year or $10/month and the marketing site is wrong. However, I’m the coming weeks I’m releasing a new site/branding and more functionality which will fix this. Thanks for pointing it out!

Oh rad. I was just chatting with a friend about how tired we were of having no control over which inboxes gmail has, and what goes into them. This looks like a big step in the right direction.

I am sure OP's service is great, and not to distract from it, but you may also enjoy Sanebox, which has been unsexily solving this exact problem for ages

Pretty cool service. If in an existing account, at say github,I was using my personal email, would I have to update my primary email to the one from paced?

Not necessarily! Some users have been creating forwarders in their primary email provider into Paced Email. See this article on the subject with respect to Gmail: https://www.paced.email/articles/how-to-auto-forward-specifi...

Awesome, thanks for the link.

So I signed up for the free tier. There's an option to compose mail that's paylocked. Do I need my own domain for that? If not, i.e if I'm using paced for outbound mail, how are you currently managing reputation management?

Thanks for jumping in. Composing is currently a paid feature, correct. You don't need a custom domain to activate it though, it also works with the in-house paced.email based email addresses.

Our underlying email provider is Mailgun and they handle the reputation. So far so good though, all seems to be working as intended a year and a half after launch.

Get in touch via the site if you want to chat more, happy to help if you have any questions etc.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
