Your inbox,
organized by people
Stop drowning in subject lines. ChatInbox groups every email by sender — so you see conversations, not chaos.
Everything your inbox should have been from day one
Email, reimagined around the people you talk to — not the order messages arrive.
People-First Inbox
Emails are automatically grouped by contact into conversations — not buried in a chronological list. See who messaged you, tap their name, and read every exchange in one scrollable view.
Kanban Workflow
Tag emails and drag them across a visual board — To Do, In Progress, Done. Turn your inbox into a project tracker.
Inbox Zero
Archive, snooze, or tag emails to clear your inbox with purpose. Built-in tools to help you reach — and stay at — zero.
File Organizer
Every attachment, photo, and document is organized by contact. Find any file instantly — no more digging through old threads.
Snooze & Reminders
Not ready to reply? Snooze any email until later — it vanishes from your inbox and reappears exactly when you choose.
On-Device AI
AI-powered writing assistance that runs entirely on your device. Compose new emails from a prompt, proofread for grammar and tone, and auto-triage your inbox — all without sending data to the cloud.
Email Calendar
See calendar events extracted from your emails in a daily planner. Link to-do tasks directly to conversations so nothing falls through the cracks.
Relationship Graph
Visualize how your contacts connect to each other with an interactive network map. Discover communication patterns across your inbox.
100% Private, On-Device
No cloud servers, no data harvesting, no tracking. ChatInbox is a native Apple app that connects directly to your email provider. Your emails never pass through — or get stored on — any third-party server.
See ChatInbox transform your email
Interactive demos for illustration only. The actual app is built natively for Apple platforms and the UI may vary.
Conversations,
not clutter
Every sender becomes a conversation thread. See the latest message upfront, scroll through history, and reply — all in one clean, familiar view.
Every file,
one place
Instantly find every attachment, photo, link, and document exchanged with any contact — no more digging through old threads.
Snooze now,
deal later
Not ready to reply? Snooze any email and it disappears from your inbox, then resurfaces exactly when you need it — like a reminder you never have to set.
Your day,
at a glance
See calendar events, to-dos, and email tasks in one unified daily view. Navigate between days to stay on top of what matters most.
Kanban for
your inbox
Drag emails across columns like "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done". Turn your inbox into a visual project tracker with custom tags and sub-tags.
Map your email
universe
Visualize how your contacts connect to each other. Discover hidden patterns and relationships across your entire inbox with an interactive graph.
Write beautifully,
send confidently
A Notion-like block editor built for email. Format with headings, lists, images, and attachments — all in a distraction-free canvas that makes composing feel effortless.
Your emails never leave your device. Ever.
ChatInbox connects directly to your email provider — no middleman servers, no data harvesting, no cloud storage. Your emails stay on your device, period.
On-Device Processing
All email data is processed and stored locally on your Apple device. Nothing leaves your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Zero Tracking
No analytics, no usage profiling, no behavioral tracking. We don't know how you use the app — and we like it that way.
Direct Connection
ChatInbox talks directly to Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, or your IMAP server. No proxy, no relay — a direct encrypted line.
No Cloud Servers
We don't operate any servers that touch your email. No storage, no caching, no backup — your provider is the only cloud.
No Third-Party Access
Your emails are never shared, sold, or read by anyone — not us, not advertisers, not AI training services.
Built for people who live in their inbox
Whether you manage clients, run a business, or just want a calmer inbox — ChatInbox adapts to how you work.
Freelancers & Consultants
Designers, developers, accountants, coaches — anyone juggling 10+ client relationships.
A freelance designer has 15 active clients, each with their own thread of feedback, invoices, and revisions. In ChatInbox, she taps a client's name and sees every exchange — the brief, revisions, approvals, and invoices — in one scrollable conversation.
- Each client becomes a self-contained history
- Attachments grouped by person — contracts always findable
- Reminders prevent clients from falling through cracks
- Smart grouping auto-categorizes clients vs. vendors
Small Business Owners
Solo founders, shop owners, real estate agents — managing vendors, customers, and partners.
A real estate agent works with 30+ buyers, sellers, brokers, and attorneys. In ChatInbox, she taps a buyer's name and sees their entire history — showing dates, documents, and deal status — without needing a separate CRM.
- Works like a lightweight CRM — no extra tools needed
- Contact groups bundle all parties in a deal together
- Calendar view reveals communication gaps
- Multi-account keeps business and personal separated
Busy Parents & Families
Managing schools, activities, doctors, and family logistics on top of everything else.
A parent receives emails from two schools, three programs, a pediatrician, and a summer camp. In ChatInbox, tapping "Lincoln Elementary" shows every school email. Smart grouping bundles all school contacts into an "Education" category. That permission slip is three taps away.
- Schools, doctors, and programs become tappable conversations
- Smart grouping creates categories: travel, kids, medical
- Attachments by person makes finding slips and receipts instant
- Reminders ensure time-sensitive emails aren't missed
Multi-Account Power Users
People with 3+ email accounts who want one unified, organized view.
A developer has personal Gmail, work Exchange, iCloud, and an old Yahoo account. In ChatInbox, all accounts merge into one contact-centered view. A coworker who emailed both work and personal shows up as one unified conversation.
- Unified view eliminates switching between inboxes
- Same contact across accounts merges into one view
- No provider lock-in — Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, any IMAP
- Cross-device sync on iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Inbox-Zero Seekers
People who tried sender-grouped email, loved it, and can't go back to chronological.
A marketing manager used Unibox for years until it was abandoned. He's searched "Unibox alternative" every few months since. He doesn't need AI or team features — he needs email organized by people, on a modern app that actually gets updated. ChatInbox is exactly what he's been waiting for.
- Zero learning curve — the paradigm they already prefer
- Modern, actively maintained native Apple app
- Strong word-of-mouth — users evangelize the concept
- Low churn — they tried alternatives and came back
