 Mission

To help you spend less time in your inbox, so you can focus on what matters most.

 Features

Inbox Zero has two parts: an AI email assistant that works in the background on your Gmail or Outlook account, and an email client. Each works on its own.

 AI email assistant

- AI Personal Assistant: Organizes your inbox and pre-drafts replies in your tone and style.
- AI Rules for email: Explain in plain English how your AI should handle your inbox.
- Reply Zero: Track emails to reply to and those awaiting responses.
- Bulk Unsubscriber: One-click unsubscribe and archive emails you never read.
- Bulk Archiver: Clean up your inbox by bulk archiving old emails.
- Cold Email Blocker: Auto‑block cold emails.
- Email Analytics: Track your activity and trends over time.
- Meeting Briefs: Get personalized briefings before every meeting, pulling context from your email and calendar.
- Smart Filing: Automatically save email attachments to Google Drive or OneDrive.
- Slack & Telegram Integration: Chat with your AI assistant from Slack or Telegram to manage your inbox without leaving the apps you already use.

 Email client

A fast email client for Gmail and Outlook, with a split inbox, all your accounts in one place, and team comments.

- Web and desktop: open source. The desktop app is Electron, in apps/desktop.
- iOS: a native Swift app, not open source yet. The App Store app can connect to your own server URL if you self-host.
- Android: an older React Native Android app.
