PenviaEverything Penvia does, calmly.
Email that feels like messaging, with the tools busy people need, and nothing that watches you.
Every person becomes a calm chat.
Penvia shows each person you write with as one conversation, so email reads like your messages.
- One chat per person: read the full email, reply like a message
- Unread and Waiting (people waiting for your reply) stand out at a glance
- Pin the people who matter; Priority People can break through Focus
- Several addresses of one person, combined into one chat
- Emails with several people open as one group conversation
- Quoted replies are tidied away, the full email is one tap away
Newsletters and receipts, out of your way.
Newsletters, receipts and alerts sort themselves into Updates, so the people who matter stay on top.
- Updates collects newsletters, receipts and alerts on its own
- Clean up noisy senders in a few taps (Pro)
- Quiet hours and Priority alerts, so only the right people reach you (Pro)
- Move any sender between Chats and Updates with a swipe; Penvia remembers your choice
- Sorting happens on your device, from your own choices, your Contacts and standard email headers; on devices with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model helps with senders it can't place
Every attachment, in one place.
Files collects the attachments from all your accounts, so a contract or an invoice is never more than a search away.
- Every attachment in one list, across accounts
- Search files by name, person and subject
- Save a search you use often; saved searches stay on your device
- Preview, share, print and open with another app on iPad and Mac
- Scan documents to PDF and attach them
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)
- Nudge opens a polite follow-up you edit and send yourself
- Orbit asks before it starts; turning automatic tracking off keeps the follow-ups you added yourself
- Short "Thanks!" notes and automatic replies are usually left out of the lists
- Remind me if nobody replies, set when you send: In 1 hour, Tonight, Tomorrow morning or a date and time (Pro)
- With Sync with iCloud (Pro), your follow-ups and Done marks reach your other devices
Find anything in seconds.
Results appear as you type, across every account saved on your device.
- Results as you type, across all mail saved on your device
- Filter by person, attachment, date or account
- Looking for older mail? Search also asks your provider
- "Search Mail" in Siri and Shortcuts; people in Spotlight (optional)
Send at the right moment. Take it back in time.
Write now and schedule for later, or change your mind in the seconds after you tap Send.
- Send later is free for everyone
- Undo Send gives you a moment to take an email back
- The device where you scheduled the email sends it when it can run and connect; background execution is not guaranteed
- If a scheduled email is more than one hour overdue, Penvia holds it for your confirmation. Outbox always shows its status
- Snippets for answers you write again and again
All your accounts, one quiet place.
Bring Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365, Yahoo, iCloud Mail and any IMAP/SMTP account with SSL/TLS.
- Free includes two email accounts; Pro adds up to five
- Settings for many custom domains are found automatically
- Read saved mail offline: your newest 2,000 emails per account (Pro: 5,000). Older ones keep the sender, subject and the start, and download again when opened
- No Penvia account to create: you sign in to your own provider
Find it faster. Forget nothing.
Search with operators, smart cards for automatic emails, and an Orbit that tidies itself. (coming in 1.3.2)
Search that finds it
from:, to:, subject:, "exact phrase", has:attachment, is:unread, before: and after:, across every account, with older mail searched on the server.
Smart email cards
Invoices, bookings, flights, deliveries and account notices as one clear line, with Copy and Add to Calendar. Read on your device.
Orbit, sharper
Overdue and Today first; Remind me, Reply later or Waiting for reply with suggested times; reminders clear themselves when the reply arrives.
Notifications per chat
All, Only when I'm in To, or Mute, for each conversation. Every alert names the account it came from.
The right people reach you.
Instant alerts for Gmail (Google sign-in) and Outlook. Yahoo, iCloud and other IMAP accounts: optional Instant alerts per account, otherwise background refresh.
Instant alerts for Gmail and Outlook
Turn on Instant alerts in Settings › Notifications. Microsoft, or Google for a Gmail account connected with Google sign-in, tells Penvia's small push service that something new arrived, and your device fetches the sender and subject itself. No password is involved and the service never sees message content.
Optional Instant alerts for Yahoo, iCloud and IMAP
These providers can't notify other services, so this is opt-in for each account, in that account's Alerts settings. Penvia's mail-watch service keeps that account's sign-in (ideally an app-specific password) encrypted, watches its Inbox read-only for new message numbers and never reads or stores email. Switching it off deletes the sign-in from the service: at once when the service is reachable, otherwise on the next retry, and at the latest after 32 days without renewal.
Background refresh for the rest
Gmail connected with an app password, and Yahoo, iCloud or IMAP accounts without Instant alerts, are checked while Penvia is open and when iOS runs background refresh, which iOS schedules itself, so timing is never guaranteed.
Priority People and Quiet hours
With Pro, choose people who always reach you, set hours when alerts arrive silently, and act right from the notification.
Your mail stays on your device.
Penvia has no server that receives your mail. It connects directly from your device to your provider.
Stored and searched on device
Messages, attachments and the search index live in Penvia's private storage on your device, protected by your device's data protection.
Sign-ins in Apple Keychain
Passwords and access tokens stay in Apple Keychain and go only to your provider, never to iCloud. The one exception is yours to choose: Instant alerts for a Yahoo, iCloud or IMAP account send that account's sign-in, encrypted, to Penvia's mail-watch service.
No ads, no tracking, no analytics
No advertising, no tracking SDKs, no selling of data and no profiling. Sorting and smart replies run on your device.
A push service that never sees mail
The optional push relay on Cloudflare stores device tokens, random IDs and one-way hashes, never message content. The optional mail-watch service stores only the encrypted sign-ins of accounts you switched Instant alerts on for, and message numbers.
At home on every Apple device.
A native app with the details you expect.
