What is Penvia?
Penvia is an email app for iPhone and iPad that shows email as chats. Every person you write with becomes one conversation, newsletters and receipts move into Updates, and attachments wait in Files. It works with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud and any IMAP account. Your mail stays on your device. No ads, no tracking. Free, with optional Penvia Pro.
Works with the email you already have
New in 1.5
Read, act and stay safe.
Penvia 1.5 adds document scanning into cards, warnings for risky links and changed payment details, Apple Watch and new widgets, with your mail still on your device.
Draft a reply and Catch me up
One tap writes a reply in the email’s language for you to check, and a short summary sits above your first unread email. Apple Intelligence on supported devices and languages.
Scan into cards
Scan a document and Penvia reads it on your device, then shows a card for a booking, invoice or receipt. PDFs and photos you receive get the same cards. Add to Calendar or Reminders in one tap.
Safer links and payments
Warnings for look-alike links, short links that hide where they go, and changed payment details. Checked on your device, never shown as spam.
Apple Watch
Your priority people and Orbit on your wrist. Reply with a confirmation, mark as read or remind yourself tomorrow.
Widgets and the Lock Screen
Two configurable widgets, Orbit and Priority people, on the Home and Lock Screen, and your travel day on the Lock Screen if you choose.
Mac menu bar
An optional mini inbox in the Mac menu bar: the newest unread people, a quick reply and Mark as Read.
Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight
Find an email, reply to someone or scan a document with Siri and Shortcuts. Cards appear in Spotlight.
PEOPLE FIRST
Every person becomes a chat.
People in calm chats. Everything else, sorted for you.

Every conversation in one place
Read the whole email, reply like a message, files included.
- Emails with several people open as one group conversation
- Every attachment collects in Files, searchable by name, person and subject.

Remember what matters
Without disturbing your inbox: who's waiting for your reply, and whose reply you're waiting for.
- Reply to: people waiting for your answer. Waiting for: people whose answer you're waiting for
- Worked out from your mail on your device; Orbit asks first and never reorders your inbox
- Done clears it until someone writes again. Remind me tomorrow, or add your own follow-up; reminders are notifications on your device and reach your other devices through your iCloud (Pro)

Questions, answered.
Does Penvia read or store my email on a server?
No. Penvia connects directly from your device to your email provider. Mail, search and sorting stay on your device, and we do not read your email. Only if you switch on Instant alerts for a Yahoo, iCloud or other IMAP account does Penvia's service keep that account's sign-in, encrypted, to watch for new message numbers; it never downloads or stores email.
Which email accounts work?
Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365, Yahoo, iCloud Mail and any IMAP/SMTP account with SSL/TLS. Free includes two accounts; Pro up to five.
How much does Penvia cost?
Penvia is free with two email accounts. Pro is monthly or yearly, with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers. Cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
Will I get alerts for new mail?
Instant alerts for Gmail (Google sign-in) and Outlook. Yahoo, iCloud and other IMAP accounts: optional Instant alerts per account, otherwise background refresh.
