Canary Mail
The best email app with AI and calendar
Canary Mail is a cross-platform email client that connects to existing accounts from Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Exchange, and IMAP providers rather than hosting email itself. It brings multiple inboxes into a single view and aims to reduce inbox clutter while keeping messages stored with the original provider. It runs on macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android.
Core features include a unified inbox, read receipts, pinning, snoozing, templates, and one-click unsubscribe. Optional AI tools cover drafting and tone adjustment (AI Copilot), thread summarization (AI Summary), natural-language search across accounts (Smart Search), and automatic categorization. Security features include PGP end-to-end encryption, SecureSend for password-protected and expiring messages, phishing detection, and tracker blocking. Team features include shared inboxes, assignments, AI routing, and analytics.
Canary Mail is aimed at individuals and small teams, with particular attention to healthcare, finance, legal, and executive use cases. AI features are optional and can be disabled. The product is packaged in tiers: core inbox features are available in every plan, AI features on the Growth plan, and advanced security features such as PGP encryption and SecureSend on Pro+.
