A keyboard-driven inbox for your LinkedIn messages.

inƒlow opens in a browser tab and syncs your conversations to your own machine, so you can read, reply, and archive at the speed you type. Just the messages — none of the feed.

Keyboard

Your hands never leave the home row.

Every action in the inbox is one key. Move, star, archive, reply, undo — a week of messages goes by without reaching for the trackpad.

inƒlow Focused 6 conversations
    J K move · S star · U unread · E archive · Z undo

    Muscle memory, borrowed.

    The bindings come from the mail clients you already know — J and K to move, E to archive, Z to undo. Destructive actions are always undoable, so you can triage fast without being careful.

    Press ? anywhere in the app for the full sheet.

    Local-first

    There is no inƒlow server.

    No account to create, no backend to trust, no analytics. inƒlow reads your messages with the LinkedIn session already in your browser and stores them in IndexedDB on your own machine, partitioned per account. The developer cannot see your data, because there is nowhere for it to go.

    Sync

    Already there when you open it.

    A background service worker keeps a live stream open and backfills history in priority order, so the inbox is warm before you arrive.

    Realtime, then polling

    Server-sent events deliver new messages the moment they land, with a 30-second poll underneath as a safety net.

    Send before the network

    Messages appear instantly and reconcile on confirmation. Actions taken offline queue up and replay when you're back.

    Notifications that land right

    Native Chrome notifications carry the sender's photo, and clicking one opens that exact thread.

    Everything else

    The rest of the inbox.
