Escape App Fatigue: The All-in-One Workspace for Gmail, Outlook, Slack, and Calendar Users

It’s that sinking feeling. You open your laptop, and within minutes, you're drowning in a sea of tabs: Gmail, Outlook, Slack, your calendar, and a couple of task managers for good measure. This constant juggling, known as context switching, drains your focus and quietly sabotages your day. Every time you switch contexts, even for a second, your brain loses momentum. According to Atlassian, it takes on average 9.5 minutes to get back into a productive workflow after switching between digital apps.

If you’ve found yourself searching for a way to consolidate everything onto a single screen, you’re not just optimizing. You’re trying to reclaim your focus.

Why This Digital Chaos Kills Your Flow

Every time you switch contexts, even for a second, your brain loses momentum. Important conversations get buried under a pile of notifications, deadlines slip through the cracks, and your focus shatters before you can even enter a state of flow. This is why so many of us are asking, “Isn’t there an app that can just put all my messages in one place?”

How Taskey Differs from Akiflow and Sunsama

If you’ve been exploring Akiflow alternatives or searching for apps like Sunsama or Motion, you know they are great for planning. But they often send you back to the original app to get the real work done.

  • Manage your entire Gmail, Outlook and Slack workflow from one screen.
  • Turn a Slack message into a Google Calendar event in a single click.
