Emails from Cranes

What we send, how often, and how to turn off the updates.

We keep email to a minimum. None of it includes the text of your chapters: just their titles, and for a redrafted chapter, a short note on why it changed.

What we send

Email When
Welcome to Cranes When you’re let in from the waitlist, or invited to a team or group before you have an account.
Your first chapters are ready Each time history you bring in has finished turning into chapters. It comes even if you’ve turned off daily updates.
What changed in your thinking At most once a day, only when chapters in your own thinking were added, redrafted, or taken out.
Reset your Cranes password When you ask for a reset.
Confirm your new email for Cranes When you change your email address.
Finish signing up for Cranes When you ask for a new link to finish signing up.

Turn off the daily updates

What changed in your thinking is on unless you turn it off. Either:

  • open Settings › Account and turn off Email me what changed in my thinking, or
  • choose unsubscribe at the bottom of any of those emails, then Stop these emails.

Turn it back on in the same place in Settings whenever you like. Account emails, like password resets, can’t be turned off, because they only come when you ask for them.

Why an update might not come

The update waits until your thinking has been quiet for an hour, so you get one tidy summary instead of several. It covers changes that came from what you said, in threads or through a connected AI. Changes that came only from bringing in history don’t trigger one (you get the first-chapters email for those), and neither do changes to the team’s or a group’s thinking.
