Smart Snooze

Tell it when.
It comes back then.

Type 'tomorrow at 2pm.' It vanishes. Returns exactly when you need it.

Snooze until...
Later today Tomorrow Next week

Keyboard-first

No mouse
required.

Every action has a key. Archive, reply, snooze, forward — none of them need your trackpad.

All your accounts,
one app.

Work and personal, side by side. Switch in a keypress.

The most private
email client on Mac.

Other clients sync your email to their servers. ZenMail doesn't have any. Your inbox exists only on your device — encrypted, offline-capable, and completely yours.

Zero servers On-device AI No tracking

No backend for your email

ZenMail has no servers that touch your mail. Email syncs directly from Google to your Mac — we're not in the middle.

Encrypted local database

Your mail is stored in an encrypted database on your Mac. Even if someone gets your device, they can't read your email.

Credentials in macOS Keychain

OAuth tokens are stored in the system Keychain — the same place your Mac stores passwords. We never see or store them.

Zero telemetry

The app sends no analytics, crash data, or usage information anywhere. What you do in ZenMail stays in ZenMail.

Minimum permissions

We request only the Gmail scopes we actually use. You can review exactly what ZenMail can and can't access in Google's account settings.

No ads. No business model that needs your data.

ZenMail is a paid app. Our incentive is to build software you love — not to monetize your inbox.
