Say Hello to Smartr™ Inbox for Gmail and Smartr™...
By Jeff Bonforte
Xobni has built a reputation for building smart products, taking the pain out of our inbox and rethinking contact management. Our Outlook and BlackBerry products have been downloaded over 10M times. Of course not everyone (not even all Xobni employees) uses Outlook and a BlackBerry. We have had thousands of customers request products on new platforms, devices and for different...
What About Xobni Customers?
By Jeff Bonforte
For the millions of current Xobni customers, things shouldn’t change much, and you can still refer to us by our Xobni brand. Still, all these new Smartr products are for you, too.

New Platforms - What Takes So Long?
By Jeff Bonforte
The paradox of simple to use fast products is that they are deceivingly difficult to build. What makes these new Smartr products both more simple and more powerful than anything we have done before is basically invisible. Everything from our inbox and contact indexing, to injecting and integrating into the right places at the right time, to our massively improved ranking...

The new home for Xobni's blog
Xobni’s blog has made the move from WordPress to Tumblr. We wanted a new, simple and clean place where we could share the musings from the Xobni team.
We are really excited about our blog’s new home, and rest assured, you will always be able to access all the previous posts from here.
Why you should work at Xobni
by Ryan Gerard
Many people know of Xobni as the Outlook search plugin. That’s not wrong – but it’s only a fraction of what we are today. While we still love our Outlook customers, we are no longer strictly a desktop software company. We’re a data-centric company, and our specialty is analyzing your data and transforming it into useful and relevant information. Our first product provided...
