If you're proactive and busy, you'll love Axichat both because of what it has and what it doesn't have.
| What Axichat Offers | What We Avoid |

- Tools matter - Would you rather write a letter while standing up outside or sitting at your desk? Using the right software makes the same difference. Axichat is a digital desk for your online communication.
- Time matters - You can always make more money, but not more time. Axichat's calendar is designed to help you seize the day, and our chat-like email formatting helps you avoid spending it reading what you don't want to, retyping information, opening the wrong emails, and spamming alt+tab.
- Privacy matters - “Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” ― Edward Snowden
- Get Axichat's cutting-edge UI, even if your recipients are not on Axichat yet.
- Read and send emails+attachments using our stunning chat interface no matter where your recipients are: Gmail, Outlook, Tuta, etc.
- When talking to someone also on Axichat, get extra features: Groupchats, Reactions, Delivery Receipts, and more.
- Natural language parsing (without any AI) so you can just type in what, when, how long, how often, due by, and more in any way you want and the calendar will automatically schedule it into the grid for you. Don't worry about tweaking 30 different inputs to plan a basic task.
- If you don't know when it needs to get done, that's fine; we just put it in the unscheduled list so you can quickly and easily dump your stream-of-consciousness.
- If it has a deadline then we will notify you when it is getting close.
- Excellent for planning your entire personal routine, featuring a built-in Eisenhower Matrix so you can put first things first.
- Intuitive UI/UX that works seamlessly on every screen with drag+drop to reschedule, drag to resize, copy+paste, batch edit, and much more.
