We built Almo to give your team up to 70 minutes a day back.
Almo is an Outlook add-in, published on Microsoft AppSource, that lets developers, QA engineers, and project managers manage Azure DevOps work items without leaving their inbox.

We kept running into the same problem, so we solved it!
Between Outlook and Azure DevOps, teams kept losing focus switching tabs, chasing updates, and missing context. We felt that pain firsthand - trying to stay productive while our tools pulled us apart.
It started with a small frustration: one task meant bouncing between inboxes and DevOps boards. The tools were powerful but disconnected. So we built Almo to bridge them - connecting Azure DevOps work items to Outlook, where the email conversation is already happening.
Almo connects Outlook and Azure DevOps so you can create, link, and update work items without leaving your inbox. It keeps teams organised, aligned, and focused from the application they already use every day. Your workflow should feel natural, not scattered or repetitive - just clear and connected.
Almo saves your team up to 200 hours a year
Having up to 70 minutes of time each day makes a measurable difference. Prepare a proper meal, take a walk, spend time with family, or make progress on something outside work. Seventy minutes, freed from manual work item updates and tab switching, amounts to nearly 200 hours a year.
We built Almo to recover that time. Classic Almo has been helping software teams manage Azure DevOps work items directly from Outlook for five years. New Almo extends that foundation to Mac, new Outlook on Windows, and Outlook on the web.
