The problem

The asks that need you get buried

A renewal, a sign-off, a question from your biggest customer. The emails that actually need you are scattered across hundreds of newsletters and receipts, and the ones you miss are the ones that cost you.

The fix

MailOver pulls them into one list

Your secretary reads each email, finds the request or task inside it, and adds it to your Action Items list with the due date it found. Nothing that needs you stays buried.

MailOver reads each email

Your secretary reads each message and looks for a request, a task, or a deadline that needs you, then writes it as a plain to-do.

You get an Action Items list

Open MailOver to one checkable list of what needs a response or a task, grouped by day and sorted by deadline.

What it looks like

An Action Items list built from your email

Each item shows the task in plain language, the due date MailOver read from the email, and a link back to the source. Check it off when it is done.

The email
Meridian Software · MSA renewal
"...as discussed, we'll need your countersignature on the updated MSA before it lapses. Please return the signed copy by July 6 so we can keep the service running without a gap..."
MailOver extracts the task
Counter-sign the Meridian MSA
Due: Jul 6 · from Meridian Software

It writes the to-do and reads the deadline out of the sentence, instead of just flagging the email.

Why it's different

Built to surface the task, not the inbox

It extracts the task, not just the email

MailOver writes the actual to-do, like "counter-sign the Meridian MSA before Friday," instead of flagging the thread and leaving you to work out what to do.

Deadlines come along for the ride

When an email says "by the 6th" or "end of week," MailOver reads the date and attaches it, so the item sorts itself into the right day.

Works across every connected inbox

Personal, work, and shared accounts feed one Action Items list, so you never switch between inboxes to see what is still open.

Action Items FAQ

Questions about Action Items

How does MailOver decide what's an action item?+

MailOver reads the content of each email and looks for a request, a task, or a decision that needs you, like a sign-off, a reply someone is waiting on, or a deadline. If an email only shares information, it goes to Highlights or FYIs instead, so your Action Items list stays short and honest.

Does it set due dates automatically?+

Yes. When an email mentions a date, like "by Friday" or "before the 6th," MailOver reads it and attaches that due date to the item. Action items then sort by deadline, so the most urgent ones sit at the top. You can edit or clear any due date in one tap.

What happens when I finish a task?+

Check it off and it leaves your active list and moves to your Completed view, so you keep a record. The source email stays in your mailbox, exactly where it was. MailOver never deletes or moves the original email, it only tracks the task it pulled out of it.

Does it work across multiple inboxes?+

Yes. Connect Gmail, Outlook, and any IMAP account, and MailOver builds one Action Items list across all of them. A task from your work account and one from a personal inbox land in the same list, sorted by due date, so you never switch accounts to find what is open.
