What is Reddit's opinion of Quiet for Gmail?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You can use the app Quiet for Gmail to control when you want to get your emails. I have to say that I'm a bit biased since I'm the dev ��

I always forget to switch the email on/off but I've found an app to do it automatically on a schedule. You can give it a try if you are on android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sgarcia.quiet_for_gmail

If you have an Android phone, check out Quiet for Gmail it will let you set up a schedule to automatically disable/enable specific email accounts in the Gmail app including Exchange accounts.

That way you can leave your personal email turned on but disable your work email outside of work hours.

I know this won't help your specific situation, but this app at least helps me NOT get emails during home time.

Maybe it will help?

If you have an Android phone, Quiet for Gmail is really nice for this. It allows you to set no-sync times for email accounts, such as after 6PM on weekdays or on Saturdays / Sundays.

Even just having a flood of messages show up in your notification area without acting on them can ruin what little time off one has left, since then you're stuck thinking and worrying about all the extra work you now have to do on top of what you were already planning around.

The tacitly encouraged "martyr yourself for your job" culture in K12 combined with the endless workload of IT creates a toxic expectation of 24/7 availability to deal with a never-ending flood of ever-increasing expectations and demands.

Check out quiet for gmail if you'd like to schedule quiet times for your work email in Gmail. I'm one of those people who must keep his notification bar cleared and this app helps with my work/life balance.

Yes! Around the end of year 3 I found that I was experiencing massive mood swings tied to phone notifications for work-related emails. Just seeing the name of my advisor or a committee member pop up when hanging out with friends would give me this crazy anxiety that I shouldn't be relaxing and had to get back to work. This is despite having extremely good relationships with my advisor and committee members.

My solution was to adopt Quiet for Gmail. I set it up so I don't receive email push notifications except from 9a-5p on weekdays. I can still check my emails manually, but it allows me to relax when I want to relax without intrusions from work emails that might send me into a panic spiral. I still get some anxiety when I check my email, but at least I get to put myself into the right mindset before approaching it.

I use the default Gmail app but also use Quite for Gmail to set quiet hours. Everyone who can, should silence their work email when they're not on the clock.

Here's an Android extension for Gmail that helped immensely to cut down on out-of-hours emailing, because the moment you see a message you'll still have it occupy your mind, even if you don't immediately respond.

You can additionally turn on a vacation responder redirecting users to your ticketing system or colleagues; it might be a bit spammy, but it gets the point across.

The closest thing that I’ve found is an app called Quiet For Gmail. Although it looks like it’s for a situation where you have 2 accounts (work, and personal). The other thing is it seems to only work for Gmail accounts and also needing to use the Gmail app.

I'm actually working on a conference proposal on this topic! So if any of you are going to NYLA 2019, and my proposal is accepted, don't come to my program or else you'll just hear these again :)

Some of my favorites were already mentioned (PrintFriendly, Slack, and Canva), but here's some others:

• SimplyBook / Setmore -- free appointment booking software. We do one-on-one computer appointments and are an AARP Tax-Aide site. We use SimplyBook for computer appointments because it has an intake questionnaire to ask what people want to go over at their appointment, and Setmore for tax appointments because SimplyBook has a limit of 50 appointments a month on the free plan (we'd quickly go through that for three days of tax appointments). Setmore doesn't have any limitations on number of appointments booked on the free plan. If Setmore added an intake questionnaire, I'd switch to that and leave SimplyBook behind as I find Setmore easier to use for everyone involved.
• Skedda -- meeting room reservations. We use it to reserve our study rooms.
• Ambient sounds websites like Coffitivity and Ambient Mixer (has Harry Potter common room mixes!) when I'm in my office and need to focus.
• SmallPDF -- really great website where you can do certain things with PDFs, including rotate certain pages, remove certain pages, combine two or more PDFs, convert to or from Word doc, etc. They limit you to two actions per hour but it's so easy to use I don't care.
• OnlineOCR -- scan a paper document, plug the PDF into this site, and it will do its best to give you an editable Word document. Most PDF to Word converters just stick an image of the PDF into a Word doc. Sometimes the formatting is a little wonky, especially if you have columns or images, but I'd rather spend a few minutes fixing the formatting than retyping an entire document.
• Invoice Generator-- used it a lot when I was in adult services and doing programming.
• On the Clock -- I'm bad with numbers so if I have an offsite meeting that ran an hour and 40 minutes, this site tells me that I should submit 1.67 hours into Paychex.
• Finally, some sort of app that allows you to turn email syncing on and off on your phone. I use Quiet for Gmail on my Samsung. It has helped immensely in better defining that line between my work/home life and has done wonders for my mental health.

De mientras, la aplicación Quiet for Gmail va de fábula para no sincronizar cuentas de correo fuera de horas de oficina. Ya estaba cansado de mails de los jefes a las 11 de la noche.
