If you process more than a couple of threads a week, forwarding is the priciest tool on this page. Screenshot the next one and compare the clock.
The email workflow is expensive in the most invisible way: forward the thread, copy the requests into a list, retype the deadlines, lose the attachments. Nobody bills you for it — your afternoons just disappear.
ActionShot replaces the forwarding chain, not your inbox. Screenshot the thread and get every action back with dates and people attached — ready to export or send to Notion for less than a coffee a month.
Email overload by hand
Forwarding threads and copy-pasting tasks — paid for with your time.
Questions
Why pay if forwarding emails is free?
Because the bill arrives as hours: reading, copying, retyping, chasing dates. Pro costs less than a coffee a month and returns those afternoons.
Do you train AI models on my screenshots?
No. Screenshots are private to your account, never used to train models, and deleting an analysis deletes its screenshot with it.
Does it work with Spanish threads?
Yes — it keeps the original language, including dates like “el viernes” resolved to calendar days.
