What a sprint is
A sprint is the morning ritual, built in. Corner lines up every follow-up that's due and shows them one at a time, each with its chat and deal panel side by side. You write, send, and the next one slides in. No list to scan, no deciding what's next.
A sprint takes everything that's due right now: the card on screen first, then the rest by urgency, including snoozes that have come due. It ignores working hours and the daily cap, because you asked.
Start a sprint
- On Today, click Start sprint or press Ctrl+Enter⌘Enter.
- From the tray menu (menu bar on a Mac): Start sprint.
- At your sprint time, from the card in the corner. See below.
If nothing is waiting, you get “Nothing waiting. Enjoy it.” and that's the whole sprint.
During a sprint
The top bar shows where you are, like 4 / 12. Every key works while you type in the composer:
| To | Press |
|---|---|
| Send your message | Enter |
| Draft a follow-up with AI | Ctrl+J⌘J |
| Go to the next one | Ctrl+→⌘→ |
| Skip this one | Alt+→⌥→ |
| Snooze | Alt+S⌥S |
| Done (handled some other way) | Alt+D⌥D |
| Dead | Alt+X⌥X |
| Not a deal | Alt+N⌥N |
| Leave the sprint | Esc |
When your message goes out, its nudge clears itself and the next deal follows a moment later. Skipped deals stay on Today, so skipping is never losing.
The end of a sprint
Work the queue to the end and you get the score: “12 follow-ups done in 18 min”, plus what you skipped or snoozed.
Finishing a sprint counts toward your streak: working days in a row with a finished sprint. Days off don't break it, and a day that hasn't had its sprint yet doesn't either. Leaving early with Esc doesn't count, but nothing is lost.
A daily sprint time
Set one in the setup or under Settings > Nudges > Sprint time (Set a time, then pick it; Clear removes it). On your working days at that time, a Sprint time card appears in the corner saying how many follow-ups are waiting, with Start and Snooze 30m.
- It shows up whatever your accountability level, Gentle included, and stays for 10 minutes unless you answer it.
- Once a day at most.
- During a pause or quiet hours there's no announcement. If Corner wasn't running at sprint time and you open it within 30 minutes, the card appears right away.
