Setting up Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and iCloud, keeping your inbox calm, and how Penvia compares.
An email app for iPhone that looks like chat
Penvia shows your email the way you already read messages: one conversation per person, with newsletters, receipts and attachments moved out of the way.
Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and iCloud in one inbox on iPhone
Add every address you use to one calm app. Penvia shows the people from all your accounts together, or one account at a time.
Email follow-up reminders with Orbit
Orbit keeps track of open conversations for you: who is waiting for your answer, and whose answer you are still waiting for, without reordering your inbox.
Unsubscribe and clean up newsletters on iPhone
Most inboxes are mostly newsletters, receipts and notifications. Penvia moves them aside automatically, helps you unsubscribe, and keeps the people who write to you on top.
A private email app with no tracking
Penvia is local-first: your mail is stored and searched on your device and travels directly between your device and your email provider.
Penvia vs Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, Spark, Spike and Superhuman
All of these apps can read your email on iPhone. This page states what Penvia does, in plain facts, and links to each vendor's own help pages for the others.
Chat-style email apps for iPhone, compared
Apps that show email as chat, sorted by what a conversation is: a person, a thread or a chat between app users.
Search email by sender, subject and date
Operators such as from:, subject:, has:attachment and before: across all your accounts.
Smart email cards

Penvia questions and answers
Short, factual answers about accounts, privacy, alerts, Orbit and pricing.
An email app for people who run a business

Penvia for Mac and iPad
The same calm chats, Updates and Files on a big screen — with a sidebar, keyboard shortcuts and drag and drop.
How Penvia is different from a classic inbox
Penvia is not a new email service. It is an app for the accounts you already have — Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud and IMAP — that organises them like a messenger.
Gmail on iPhone, iPad and Mac — the calm way
Keep your Gmail address and all your mail. Penvia is simply a calmer app to read and write it, next to your other accounts.
Outlook, Hotmail and Microsoft 365 in Penvia
Sign in with Microsoft’s own page; Penvia never sees your password. Outlook accounts get instant new-mail alerts.
Yahoo Mail and AOL in Penvia
A calm, ad-free app for your Yahoo or AOL address, next to Gmail, Outlook and iCloud.
iCloud Mail in Penvia
Your @icloud.com, @me.com or custom-domain iCloud address, organised like messages.
Email notifications only from people
Penvia alerts you when a person writes — not when a shop sends a newsletter.
An Apple Mail alternative that feels like messaging
Apple Mail is a good classic inbox. If you would rather read email like your messages, Penvia works with the same accounts and keeps your mail private: there is no Penvia mail server.
Give your inbox some calm.
Free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
