Use case

One message each morning: the day, and what actually needs you.

Before you open anything, Faber has read the calendar and the mail that came in overnight and sent you one short message - what the day holds, what needs an answer today, and what is already late.

How it helps

The first twenty minutes back.

Reads the day

Meetings, the gaps between them, and anything that quietly moved since you last looked.

Google CalendarGmailTelegram

Picks out what needs an answer

Not a count of unread mail. The few messages where someone is waiting on you, and the ones that have been waiting a while.

Sends it where you already are

Telegram or Slack, so the brief is somewhere you read rather than another message in the inbox it is describing.

What happened

The same brief, at the same time, every day.

After every run, Faber leaves a plain-English record of what it read and what it chose to put in front of you.

What happenedMorning brief
  1. Checked the calendar: 4 meetings, 2 of them back to back.
  2. Read 31 messages that arrived overnight.
  3. Picked out 5 where someone is waiting on an answer.
  4. Sent the brief at 7am.

Good fit when

The day starts with catching up on what happened without you.

Mornings begin by scanning a calendar and an inbox to work out the shape of the day.

The mail that matters is a handful, buried in a lot that doesn't.

You already live in Slack or Telegram during the day.

You want something that reads and reports, without changing anything.

Start the day already caught up.

Describe what belongs in the brief, when it should arrive, and where you want it sent.
