Catch Me Up vs Inbox Triage Desk
The short answer
Inbox Triage Desk sorts many separate emails into piles. Catch Me Up reads one long conversation where the plan changed three times and tells you which version is final. Full inbox, use the Triage Desk. One group chat you fell behind on, use Catch Me Up.
Catch Me Up
Paste the group chat you fell behind on. Get what changed, what's waiting on you, and the final plan, with who said it and when.
- You paste
- Export the chat. WhatsApp: open the group, tap its name (iPhone) or the three dots then More (Android), and pick Export chat, Without media. Slack or Discord: select the messages since you left off and copy them. A plain copy-paste works too.
- You get
- Needs you. Kai asked at 13:27 if you can bring the big grill. Lena wants you to confirm. One-line reply drafted.
- When to use it
- Use it when you muted the group for an afternoon and came back to 300 messages, a plan that changed twice, and a question to you buried somewhere in the middle.
- When to skip it
- It only sees text. Voice notes and photos show up as "<Media omitted>" in an export, so anything said in them is missing. It lists where those gaps are instead of guessing.

Inbox Triage Desk
Paste a morning of subjects and first lines. Get four piles: reply today, delegate, wait, and archive, plus the sentence to send.
- You paste
- Copy subjects and first lines. From your inbox, copy the sender, the subject, and the first line. Do not paste full threads, attachments, or anyone's secrets. Five to twenty messages is a morning.
- You get
- The sentence. To Alex: 'Section 4 is yes. Sending before noon.' Nothing else gets a paragraph.
- When to use it
- Use it first thing in the morning, when you reread the same subjects every day and the ones that need a sentence are buried.
- When to skip it
- It does not connect to your mailbox or send anything. You paste subjects and first lines, it sorts them.
