Description
ChatInbox is a private, AI-powered email application designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, fundamentally changing how users interact with their email. It prioritizes communication by organizing mail around people, turning every interaction into a seamless, chat-style conversation. This innovative approach ensures that important exchanges with contacts are never buried under promotional content or notifications.

The application intelligently separates newsletters, receipts, and other automated messages into distinct "Feeds." This automatic categorization eliminates the need for manual rules or sorting, allowing users to focus on personal and professional correspondence. Users can easily switch between a chat-like "Messages" view and a traditional "Threads" view with full email cards, adapting to their preferred reading style.
Privacy is a core tenet of ChatInbox. The app connects directly to your email provider (supporting Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, and any IMAP account), meaning your mail never passes through ChatInbox's servers. This architecture ensures that the developers cannot read your emails. Furthermore, tracking pixels are automatically removed from emails before they are opened, enhancing user privacy and preventing unwanted data collection.
ChatInbox leverages on-device AI, powered by Apple Intelligence, for various smart features. This includes writing emails by voice, answering specific questions asked in a conversation, quickly catching up on long threads, and translating emails in place. For longer or more complex AI requests, Private Cloud Compute is used only if explicitly chosen by the user, with no data saved there, reinforcing the commitment to privacy.
The app is free to download and use with one email account, offering all core features. A Premium subscription unlocks unlimited accounts, full mail history, advanced filters, custom notifications, and email templates, with a yearly plan starting with a 7-day free trial. A Lifetime purchase option is also available. ChatInbox provides native applications for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with a single purchase covering all three devices, and ensures snoozes, tags, and templates sync across devices via iCloud. It can be used alongside other mail apps like Apple Mail, as it works with the same accounts and keeps mail with your provider.
