Gated: Your Digital Boundary — More of the stuff you care about, less of the rest
Gated is one simple link for professionals, makers, and "do-ers" to share what you’re focused on - anywhere you’re building your presence online - and see more of the stuff you care about, less of the rest. Managed with a simple iOS app, powered by AI.

@melissa_moody @vedranrasic thank you @vedranrasic - we geek out on making people more productive (like you!!!)
@andy_mowat1 @vedranrasic Really appreciate the vote of confidence... It's so fun to build alongside awesome folks like you!
Mad respect for how this team innovates. Gated v1 looked at the problem of email overload in a new way and now this version is helping professionals move goals forward and make connections. Incredible promise with this new direction. Loved the new AI assistant for creating my new Gated page. Looking forward to seeing new capabilities in this version. I'd personally love some kind of filtering form and a time scheduler shown to people based on the form answers.
@robmcarpenter thank you so much! i love that you've already geeked out on the AI assistant... terrific idea on the form answers.... here is our roadmap - add/vote up for sure https://gated.featurebase.app/
@davidvkimball You can also use it on Mac, if you've got one and can't wait! ;)
Love Gated - I’m keeping my inbox clean and raising money for charities I care about!
@sentry_co Great question!
Here's how we break it down, but we'd love to know your thoughts as well:
- While Linktree is for creators to share more content and get more followers/eyeballs... Gated is for professionals first, who value relationships and connections to reach their goals.
- Linktree is a single link to monetize your audience. Your Gated profile helps you surface relevant conversations from the noise.
- While Linktree allows you to share the content you've created and social links... Gated works by sharing the key things you're focused on right now (and makes it super easy to update/stay fresh, so people know what you're currently focused on - not just your broader content that they could find on Linktree or LinkedIn).
At the core, the vision for each product is different as well: Linktree is designed to help you create, curate, and sell your content. Gated is designed to help you stay focused on your priorities in a noisy digital world.
How they're used together:
Some of our early users share their gate first, with Linktree as their bottom link to share more content.
While others who are more creator-first professionals (example: gated.com/@brianna) may share their Linktree first, with Gated as a link to "connect with me on topics I care about".)
@brianna @melissa_moody Love it. So your USP is that you are a sort of aggregator anchor for SoMe. And your product opinion is that you want to make it more zen than what's currently out there?
@sentry_co More so as the only digital boundary app - where the individual says what matters to them, and is able to proactively guide inbound messages to those topics.
Love Gated! Simple way to block out the noise and let people know what I'm focused on.
Early versions of Gated was a game changer for my productivity and so excited about this launch with so many new features. Congrats Gated team on the release!
1.0 was a life-changer for me in terms of gaining control my inbox. With 2.0, it's a step up, explicitly telling folks I don't know what I'm interested in - saving time, energy, and effort on both sides of the communication channel.
It is an honor to launch the new Gated here today
We've been thinking deeply about how you don't control access to your own communication tools
We started with email and are now pushing to think more broadly about other platforms
We believe the first step to better communication lies with being clear about what you are focused on
Gated helps you articulate what is important you and be as available as possible for messages around this
We are excited to have you join our journey!
Congrats on the launch! This sounds like an awesome way to engage with your community while still being able to focus on your work.🎉
Congrats @andy_mowat1 and team! Excited to see the evolution of Gated and become a user.
@andy_mowat1 @paul_irvinggtm Thank you so much, Paul. We're seeing more people start setting that digital boundary EVERY day!
This company rocks, and its products are not just time-savers, but life-savers. I was able to focus on someone with a true 911 emergency who reached out to me because the filtering and focus technology enabled me to spend my time on messages that matter. Your attention is valuable, and Gated helps you prove that to the world with its unique products and focus.
@jess_mccarter thank you jess! we are so driving by that vision of giving you back control over your attention
