Do us favor and check how many emails are in your inbox. 

A couple dozen? A couple hundred? A couple thousand? Regardless of the number, we can all agree that managing your bustlin' inbox is easier said than done. We cringe at the tought of how many times we've waited months to reply to someone sitting in our inbox.

You're not alone. Studies show the average worker gets approximately 200 messages per day and spends two and a half hours checking and responding to 'em. Yikes! 

But what if we told you it didn't have to be that way? That there was a system that would clean out — and organize — your inbox for you. That's where SaneBox comes in. 

You see, the problem with most cluttered inboxes is that there are some very important emails, followed by some not-so-important emails. Don't get us wrong, we love our influx of newsletters as much as the next person, but they're not as important as, say, a message from your boss or grandmother. 

SaneBox uses artificial intelligence to monitor and learn your email patterns so it can sort, filter, and clean out your inbox for you. The result? For starters, you'll never have to type "my apologies for the delayed email" ever again.

As if that wasn't good enough, it automatically transfers attachments to Dropbox, snoozes non-urgent emails, and lets you unsubscribe to any superfluous with a simple click of a button. Oh, and did we mention its super secure and compatible with platforms like Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and more? Casual

Chances are, you'd pay almost anything to have a clean and organized inbox, right? Normally, an annual subscription to SaneBox is valued at $84, but it's currently on sale for $39. If you ask us, that's a small price to pay for some serious peace of mind.
