An inbox app that can never send mail

Most of your inbox isn't urgent and a little of it very much is, and the cost of sorting the two is that you check constantly. Inbox triage is the second most common chore people hand a computer, right behind the morning brief.

The reason people hesitate is obvious: handing software your mail feels like handing it your voice. So we built the boundary first.

• Scans on a schedule — hourly, or a few times a day — server-side, with nothing open.
• Learns your definition of urgent. Named clients, money, outages, a project codename, an unusual burst from one sender. You tune it in plain words after watching it work.
• Pings only when it clears that bar — one consolidated notification for the few things that matter, not one per message.
• Previews the inbox in its window: recent messages, sender, subject, time — so you can skim without opening your mail client.
• Drafts the replies you'll actually send, into My Documents.

Type your email address into My Computer → Connections — the form knows your provider from it, fills in the server details, and walks you step-by-step to the one-off app password most providers use for this (for Gmail that's a special password from your Google account, not your real one). Then describe the job to the Terminal. Two minutes — and if your provider can't do it at all, the form says so honestly instead of letting you hunt.

Message contents go to an AI provider to be understood, and that provider may retain them. Connect the mailbox you'd be comfortable summarising to a chatbot — personal mail, a side project, a public-facing address. If your inbox carries client confidential material or your employer has rules about it, this isn't the right tool yet. The privacy page is blunt about this.

It will occasionally flag something dull. That's the correct trade early on — you tune the definition down after you've seen a few days of real output.
