Everything is one key away.
Minimail is a fast, quiet front end for the mail you already have. No new address, no migration.
Single keys
j and k to move, e to archive, r to reply. If you know Gmail's shortcuts, you already know Minimail's.
A palette for the rest
Press ⌘K or Ctrl+K to search mail, jump to any folder or change a setting. ⌘⇧P works too.
Undo everything
Archive, delete, move, snooze, even send. Press z and it's back. No confirmation dialogs.
Snooze
Press h to hide a conversation until later. It comes back to your inbox the next time Minimail is open after the wake time.
Every account, one inbox
Add Gmail, Outlook, iCloud and IMAP accounts side by side. g then 1, 2, 3 switches between them.
Files view
Every attachment from every thread in one grid, filtered by type. g then f takes you there.
Your layout
Read in a side panel or full width. Light or dark, or follow your system.
Nothing else
No ads, no sidebars, no chat widgets, no upsell banners. One list and one message.
Find the mail you remember, not the words in it.
Minimail reads your attachments so you don't have to. Search finds text inside PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, and recognizes what's in your photos.
- Inside attachments
- Text in PDFs, DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files is indexed with the message it came in.
- By what a photo shows
- "Photo of the whiteboard" or "the boarding pass" finds the picture, even if nobody typed those words.
- On your device
- The index is built and stored in your browser, encrypted. The optional AI model runs there too. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Your mail goes to your browser. Not to us.
Minimail has no database. There is nowhere on our side for your mail to be stored.
Your provider
Gmail, Outlook, iCloud or your IMAP server. Your mail stays there.
Your browser
Mail loads straight into the page. The search index is built here, encrypted.
Sealed key
Your sign-in is encrypted with our server key and kept only on this device. Copied anywhere else, it's useless.
Our server: no database. IMAP mail passes through its memory only, because browsers can't open IMAP connections. It's never written down.
- No database. We don't store your mail, contacts or search history.
- Gmail and Outlook load straight from your provider into your browser.
- IMAP accounts pass through our server's memory, never to disk.
- Your sign-in is sealed with a server key and stored only on your device.
- Search runs on your device. The index is encrypted and stays there.
- No ads, no tracking cookies. Analytics is optional and cookieless.
- Remove an account or sign out of this device any time. You can also revoke access at Google or Microsoft, or delete the app password.

Questions
Which email providers work?
Gmail and Google Workspace, Outlook.com and Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail, Zoho, GMX, AOL, and any server that speaks IMAP and SMTP. Type your address and Minimail finds the server settings for you.
Do I need an app password?
Gmail and Outlook sign in with Google or Microsoft. iCloud, Yahoo and AOL need an app password, which you create in your account's security settings. Fastmail works with an app password too. Other IMAP providers use your usual password or an app password, depending on the provider.
Can I use Gmail right now?
Yes. Signing in with Google may be limited while Google reviews Minimail's Gmail access. Meanwhile you can always connect Gmail with an app password over IMAP.
What about Proton, HEY or Tuta?
Proton Mail needs Proton Mail Bridge, which runs on your computer and can't be reached from a web app, so it isn't supported on the web. HEY and Tuta don't offer IMAP, so they aren't supported.
Is my email stored on your servers?
No. Minimail has no database. Gmail and Outlook mail loads straight from your provider into your browser. IMAP mail passes through our server's memory, because browsers can't open IMAP connections, and is never written down. Your sign-in is encrypted with a server key and stored only on your device, so it's useless anywhere else.
How does search work on my device?
Minimail builds a search index in your browser: message text, attachment names, text inside PDFs and Office files, and, if you turn on the optional on-device AI model, what your photos show. The index is encrypted and stays on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere to search.
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet. Minimail runs in any modern browser, and you can install it from your browser as an app on your computer or phone today. Native mobile apps come later.
Do I have to use the keyboard?
No. Everything works with a mouse or touch. The keyboard is just faster, and every menu shows the key for next time.
What happens to my data if I stop using Minimail?
Your mail stays with your provider, where it always was. Remove the account or sign out of this device, and its sealed sign-in and local data are cleared from that device. You can also revoke access at Google or Microsoft, or delete the app password, and Minimail can't connect again.
How is this different from Superhuman?
Superhuman is an AI-first email client; its published pricing starts at about $30/mo. Minimail does one thing, fast keyboard-driven email across any provider, and will cost $8/mo after the beta. It's free during the beta.
What does it cost?
Nothing during the public beta, and no card is needed. After the beta: $8/mo or $80/yr. Everyone who joins during the beta gets the founding price of $60/yr, locked in while they stay subscribed.
Think it, and it's done.
Connect a mailbox in under a minute. Free during the beta, no card needed.
