## What is Brevity email?

Email without the AI nonsense. Triage your inbox to zero in 5 minutes — every long thread summarized in 3 sentences by Apple's own on-device AI. No cloud copy of your mail. No SDK collecting anything. One unified inbox for Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, and any IMAP account.

THREE-SENTENCE SUMMARY
Tap any long email. Apple's on-device Foundation Models collapse it to three sentences in under a second. No third-party server round-trip. No cloud copy. iOS 26 uses Foundation Models; older devices use NaturalLanguage extractive summarization.

AI REPLY WITH TONE
Pick Short, Standard, or Detailed and Brevity drafts three replies you can edit and send. The model runs on your phone.

ONE INBOX FOR EVERYTHING
Gmail, iCloud Mail, Outlook / Office 365, Yahoo Mail, any IMAP server — all in one timeline with color tags per account. Smart filters: Communication, Notifications, Promotions, Receipts, Travel, Social, Other. Cross-account search by sender, subject, or body.

SNOOZE & SEND LATER
Push email out to tomorrow morning, this weekend, or a custom time. Schedule outgoing email for 8 AM Monday so you don't ping people at midnight.

TRACKER PIXEL SHIELD
200+ known tracker hosts blocked (EasyPrivacy public list) plus a 1×1 pixel detector. Each email shows a small badge with how many trackers were stopped.

MEETING INVITES
Any email with an .ics attachment gets a one-tap Add to Calendar banner.

WIDGETS, GESTURES, TEMPLATES
Home Screen widgets (small, medium, lock-screen, inline). Customize swipe actions — Snooze, Archive, Star, Mark Read, Delete. Save replies as templates and insert with a shortcut.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• Zero backend. Brevity talks directly to your mail provider over IMAP / SMTP. No relay server.
• Zero analytics SDK. Zero ad SDK. Zero tracker SDK. The binary links only Apple frameworks — verifiable.
• All AI runs on-device.
• Credentials stay in iOS Keychain on this device only.
• App Privacy label: Data Not Collected.
