Overview

Gusto has developed a free iOS application that consolidates a user’s communications by automatically sorting emails, file attachments, and embedded photos into four intuitive tabs: Mail, Files, Photos, and All. The system enables keyword, person, file-type, account, and date searches, and allows any stored file to be attached to new messages directly from the app. At launch the product supports Gmail and multiple Gmail accounts, and the company plans to add compatibility for Yahoo Mail, Outlook/Hotmail, AOL, Exchange, iCloud, and other services in upcoming releases. Founded by Shawn Schwegman, a veteran of ChaCha and Overstock.com, Gusto targets consumers overwhelmed by fragmented email and file storage experiences. The application is distributed free of charge via Apple’s iTunes App Store, positioning the company for rapid user acquisition. No operating metrics such as user counts or revenue figures were disclosed in the article. The company is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
