Redkix Desktop App

Whether we like it or not and regardless of the overall drawbacks, one thing's for sure: email is here to stay. It's just too neatly integrated into our professional lives and company-related workflow. The least we can do is strive to make email better, just as many services have tried during the years with Slack being a fairly relevant example in this respect.

Redkix is one of the late comers to join the party, as it aims to offer you and your business one of the best solutions for email, instant chat, and real-time collaboration. That said, the first thing you should know about Redkix is the fact that it works on top of your work email account.

For the time being, it only comes with support for Google Apps, Microsoft Exchange, and Office 365. This will probably be the biggest challenge for the young company, since, as we all know, the competition is nothing less than fierce in this field, with other services that offer more versatile integration with other platforms. Other than that, it's also worth pointing out that the service offers bespoke apps for Windows, macOS, as well as for iOS and Android.

Concerning its Windows client dubbed Redkick Desktop App, things are good. Both the installation as well as the sign in procedure are as straightforward as they come and. Even at first glance, it looks exactly as a professional email-chat-collaboration app should, modern and without unnecessary elements.

Thanks to an intuitive UI which sports a typical layout, you shouldn't encounter difficulties while getting to grips with the app. The workflow is based on typical group messaging and email-related elements which are mashed together so well that everything feels quite smooth, but we have to point out some of the neat features that might be overlooked.

For starters, it improves the way you can handle emails with the help of productivity-orientated tricks and features by allowing you to prioritize your inbox, to follow-up on emails, and even schedule alarms which can be snoozed. Send an email to one of your collaborators who is not a Redkix user, and it will take the form of a run-on-the-mill email. However, email a Redkix user and things take a turn for the best.

Basically, the app transforms into a full-featured instant messaging app with all the modern gimmickry included (Emojis, GIFs, and memes), as well as with support for real-time messages and channels that enhance the way you collaborate team members.

To conclude, Redkick Desktop App makes a good impression right from the start. We wouldn't go as far as saying that it revolutionizes the field just yet, but it's really impressive to see how well it blends email and collaboration capabilities into a modern package.
