About Flow-e
What is Flow-e?
Flow-e is a visualization layer that sits on top of your Outlook inbox, transforming it into a Kanban-style task board. It combines Inbox Zero and GTD principles so you can manage emails, tasks, and calendar events without leaving your mailbox.
Who is it for?
Flow-e is designed for managers and small business owners who want to stay on top of everything. It is ideal for people overwhelmed by email who need a simple, no-cost way to organize tasks. It is not for teams needing built-in collaboration—Flow-e relies on Kanbanize for team workflows.
Key capabilities
You can drag emails into custom columns, add notes and due dates, view your calendar timeline, and delegate tasks to team members. Flow-e does not store your emails—it works in real-time over your existing inbox, so switching costs are zero.
Real use cases
Professionals like Dustin Boss, a Certified Risk Architect, praise Flow-e as a “game-changer” for eliminating the need to switch between task managers and email. Use it to track delegated work, never miss a deadline, and achieve Inbox Zero daily.
