“We never see users’ mail and we never will. “It runs entirely on the user’s device, downloading, analyzing and indexing the mail, even on an iPhone 4,” explains Bagget. The app also lets you one-click unsubscribe to emails, offers built-in quick replies, and most notably, it learns what email is most important to you then offers you the option to sort your inbox by relevance, instead of time.īagget’s background is in computational linguistics, which he makes use of with Inky – the app understands your messages using NLP ( natural language processing), which is what allows it to triage your inbox for you, sort and filter your mail, and it even lets you search by tags like #package, #deal or #social. On mobile, this feature remains, with sections on the left-side of the screen where these filtered emails can be found, alongside a package-tracking section, notes, blocked emails, maps and more.
#INKY EMAIL CLIENT FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
But Inky’s desktop software has been working to do just that with “smart views” that are somewhat similar in functionality to Gmail’s “Tabs.” These automatically sort emails into sections for social notifications, daily deals, and newsletters, for instance, keeping your main inbox less cluttered. Like the earlier version of Inky’s software, the company’s goal isn’t just to build a nice-looking alternative to the default Mail app, but to deliver a series of features that make your email inbox smarter, more efficient and more organized.Īs Inky’s co-founder Dave Baggett previously admitted, fixing email is “a really challenging problem for a startup” because there’s so much basic stuff to get right before you can layer on new innovations.
The latest is Inky, the mobile counterpart to a sleek, Mac desktop-based email client launched in 2012.
Thanks to a resurged interest in mobile email applications following the sale of popular “email triage” utility Mailbox to Dropbox last year, a number of new email applications have been making their way to mobile devices.
