Greplin becomes Cue - Intelligent "Snapshot" of your Day

Greplin search hasn't changed - it is still availalble as Cue Search - both in our app and on our website. Web access is hard to get to for the next few minutes - right now it's accessible at https://www.cueup.com/login (will be linked from cueup.com momentarily). In the iPhone app, the search functionality has been streamlined and is available as a tab.
We still care about search a lot. It's the foundation of all the new features, and it's critical to the long term goals of our service.
If you encounter any issues, as always, we're quick to respond at support@cueup.com
Zero-click search is really impressive when it works [edit: actually, this is zero-search search: you get results without searching, simply based on context]. I think greplin can make it work with heuristics + usage data over the last few years :-) Showing not just what's next, but context (when, where is it? what emails are related?) makes this really cool-- something that can very quickly form a habit, perhaps.
PS: why show Sunrise and Sunset times?(first screenshot on landing screen) Do people actually search for that? Personally, I don't care-- the day starts when I wake up.
Oh, and they also tell you when the sun rises and sets. I guess that's cool, too.
It pulled in an upcoming package delivery I have from Amazon, put in on my cue for the estimated date, and provided a link to the package tracker.
It showed me a friend's upcoming birthday from facebook, and provided a link to his phone number. And in related, it summarized every communication we've had together over email, and showed me his facebook and linkedin summaries.
Wow. This took Greplin's core indexing technology to a whole new level.
However, will we be able to link to an exchange account? All my "cues" are work cues, not in my gmail or gcal.
Also, with the location services - will it alert me when someone I know is near that is in the Cue-cosystem?
UPDATE: Greplin still has access to my google account. http://screencast.com/t/c8mQiZMo wtf, greplin? I authorized for a specific purpose and you shut down the app; why are you still holding the keys to my google account?

Edit: Actually it's the only feature of the iPhone app that is working. The new calendar view is just "Loading..." (iOS 6 -- my own fault)
Some very interesting issues with iOS 6. Apple went and implemented a method in NSMutableArray with the same signature as one of my category methods. Hilarity ensued, but also a broken home screen.
I'm actually really thrilled that the try-catch was able to help the app recover correctly.
Also, in what circumstance would it ever make sense for a rational business to revoke your credentials and assume that because they've added functionality you just might not want to use the product anymore? They should just cut off all access and make you go through the whole process of re-enabling it?
That sounds like you're demanding seppuku, and I think you're overreacting quite significantly.
That said, if they had in fact replaced a web service with an iPhone app, that would be a fundamentally different product that I did not sign up for, and I would expect them to yield my permissions and start over, or send an email with "click to transfer permissions to the new product." What if they "pivot" to become an email marketer? Would my permissions ride along there? You are right in this case, however.
It's got to be an extremely stressful situation that was not of their own making, and I think we could all cut them some slack while they scramble to get everything ready 48 hours earlier than anticipated! :)
Only if I pay close attention to the screenshots can I infer that it's a calendar that gets information from multiple sources, and that tries to bring up the relevant information.
But why would I need an app different from the default Calendar app? Sure you get the relevant info for my lunch from OpenTable and from my flight. But really, that doesn't happen very often that I have in the same day a lunch and a flight with info that just a calendar event wouldn't have. For the most part, I can just pull to get the notification center and most of the same info is there.
Side note: I find it more and more common to have that kind of beautiful landing page that are too much about the design and not enough about delivering information.
Agreed. I'd never heard of Greplin or Cue and all I got from this site was 'just some sort of calendar app'. Still don't know what either one actually does.
We have more of our data siloed in cloud services like Evernote. We need a way to search them and Google is too distracted with G+ to enter this space. So why weren't more of us using Greplin?

I had it for a while, but I just found I forgot to use it and went directly to searching the services instead.
You might want to perform a search a few times a month, but you'll want to use the new "What's next" view a few times a day.
Greplin is novel, short, spellable (pick up grepplin.com and greppelin.com just in case), googleable, defensible, and clever. By most standards it's a great trademark.
Cue is common, heavily overloaded, unsearchable, ambiguously spelled ("like, the letter 'q'?), and you don't even have the domain name.
This seems like a mistake.
Rather envious actually ;-)

On the other hand, my copy of "ReMail", the first iPhone Gmail indexer (which got bought by Google, discontinued, and open sourced[1]), is still going strong on iOS 6 with a quarter million emails in its offline index.

I interacted with Greplin support, they were aware searches weren't finding things that had been auto filed by Gmail rules into labels. I have been annoyed this "for pay" service didn't handle this.
(Note that I do not expose the "All Mail" virtual folder through IMAP because that ends up doubling mail.)
Edit: After reading the blog post, I'm less surprised and can imagine where they are headed.
What happens to the index of personal data they created when I gave them access to all my PII? I can go in and manually deauth Greplin from all my accounts (PAIN IN THE ASS) but that doesn't delete whatever data they stored on their end.
