It's both of these. I see the "new productivity coolness" cycle over and over again and Superhuman is a part of that.

But their "innovation" and growth was primarily driven by the status you get from having the icon on your homescreen and tweeting about it.

A fun little exercise in deconstructing expensive software.
I take a hot bath at the end of my day. Sometimes I will play music, but otherwise no distractions, phone, or reading. Nothing else seems to do the trick.
