Rescue Your Inbox and Email Address, Throttle Is Coming

This handy browser extension is on its way to iOS
Getting Stuff Done
May 24, 2016

Launched in March 2016, Throttle sought to help you save your inbox from clutter and your email address from spammers. As a browser extension, Throttle will add a button to all email address form fields for things you fill out online such as newsletters and coupons.

When you click that button, a unique email address will be entered for you, saving you from giving out your own address. Then, messages sent to that address will be rolled up into a daily digest for you to check out.

Here is a preview of Throttle and just click here if you cannot see the video:
