Taking action on a message in Superhuman Mail is so easy you don't even have to open it! Just swipe on the message from the inbox to take action. By default, swiping left will mark a message as Done, and swiping right will set a Reminder.
While Superhuman Mail (and Beyonce or Tinder) might want you to swipe to the left to archive something, sometimes it's easier for you to go right. Fortunately, you can customize what actions are associated with which swipe!
You can even customize your triage bar at the bottom of a message for when you do need to open it 🙌
How to customize swipe actions
- Pull down from the top of the inbox, then swipe right — like you're making an "L" — to open Superhuman Command.
- In the modal that appears, type Swipes.
- Tap Swipe to Right Settings or Swipe to Left Settings depending on what you're looking to customize.
- Tap the green plus signs and the red minus signs to add and remove actions.
