Frustrated by an onslaught of emails? A new app called Alto, developed by AOL, could be the answer.

Alto gathers emails from multiple accounts, both personal and work, and scans them for keywords to automatically filter them into categories like personal, shopping and photo, for any emails with a photo attached.

Reaching inbox zero is no longer a realistic goal for many people, so instead, Alto simply aims to organize the chaos.

Because of the nature of its keyword-based sorting feature, hiccups could happen. For example, a friend's email with the phrase "that's the ticket!" is very likely to end up in the Travel section.
