Hey

I’m Charles Guo. I spent 10 years building software at Google and Airbnb—products that millions of people use every day. But here’s the thing nobody talks about in tech: all those years hunched over keyboards was destroying my hands.

The Wake-Up Call

Carpal tunnel crept up on me slowly, then hit hard. Suddenly, something as simple as checking email on my phone became a painful ordeal.

When I tried to check my email on my phone, I’d spend forever trying to select tiny buttons, scrolling endlessly through messages, doing these weird finger contortions just to swipe and archive. My wrists would ache, my fingers would go numb, and I’d find myself putting off responding to messages because it literally hurt too much.

I started avoiding my own inbox, and my important emails started to pile up.

Why I’m Building This

Look, I’ve built products for millions of people. I know what good, modern design feels like. But somehow, email on mobile hasn’t really changed for 15 years.

So I’m building the email app I desperately need. Buttons on the side of the screen, where your thumbs naturally are. Smart filing that clears your inbox in two taps. An app that actually thinks about the fact that real humans with real physical limitations use it every day.

For Everyone Who Gets It

Maybe you’ve got carpal tunnel too. Maybe you’re just tired of fighting with your inbox. Either way, I’m building this for you.

Because staying organized shouldn’t hurt.
