It was a pretty decent email app developed by Google back in the day. They discontinued it a few years ago and some features made it into the Gmail app, but not all.

Literally second paragraph of the article:

For context, Google set out to revolutionize how we deal with emails with its alternative Gmail interface Inbox in 2014. The service eschewed the chronological thread-based nature of regular email clients in favor of a to-do style interface, allowing you to reorder, snooze, and bundle emails. Inbox was killed just five years later, and we’ve been left without a proper in-house replacement ever since

A popular mail app that was bought developed by Google and, for the most part, became the Gmail app we know today.

Edit: initially and mistakenly thought that Inbox was an app Google acquired

Uh what? Google developed Inbox. And its features were not all transferred 100% to Gmail either.

I was very ready to agree with 520, but did some digging first. I was thinking of an old app called Mailbox. It was bought by Dropbox and faded away after that. I loved that app a lot.
