## What is Twobird?

Your email inbox is a to-do list. Twobird makes it the only list you need. Twobird helps you focus on just the conversations, tasks, notes, and events that are important now, and clear out the things that can wait. 

Let go of thousands of noisy emails and stop wasting time juggling tasks in different apps that don't work together. Twobird keeps everything under control, and in context, for an easier day.

MEET YOUR CALMEST INBOX

You don't need to hoard emails. Twobird takes the work out of keeping a clean inbox.

• Reminders and Low Priority set aside things that can wait
• Pinned and Recent lists keep important items easily accessible
• Done and Unsubscribe quickly clear out mail and unwanted subscriptions
• Smarter notifications prevent distraction


HANDLE YOUR DAILY TASKS IN ONE LIST

Now you can manage your entire day within the email inbox you already have. 

• Jot down ideas, create checklists, and tables in a personal note
• Share a note to collaborate in real-time; assign tasks, leave comments, and make edits with multiple people
• Organize your day with a built-in Calendar
• Preview upcoming events at the top of your inbox


KEEP CONTEXT AT EVERY STEP OF YOUR DAY

Stay in the know without switching apps— notes, reminders, and calendar are connected within your inbox.

• Set a reminder for anything in your inbox, whether it's an email or a quick note 
• See reminders and events side-by-side in the same calendar
• Attach a note to a calendar event for invitees to see 
• Edit a note right inside a conversation to discuss changes with everyone involved

CONVERSATIONS AS EFFORTLESS AS CHAT
A minimal design makes it easier to follow conversations, keeping emails efficient and natural. 

• Focus on the content without distracting signatures, complex formatting, or excess buttons
• Respond quickly with @ mentions that loop people into discussions
• React with emojis, because sometimes a thumbs up is all you need
• Edit sent messages (we know your human)

PRIVACY MATTERS

We don't see or share your personal data. We don't want it. We also actively take measures, like blocking pixel tracking, to keep your email activity private.

Connect your existing Gmail or Outlook accounts to discover your new inbox for free. Available on iOS, Mac, Web, and other major platforms.

### 3/5 — Twobird

*2026-06-16*

I got no Badges

### 5/5 — A little suggestion

*2025-12-29*

It‘s good in all aspects. I hope there will be a Chinese version.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-12-02, version 3.2.0*

I’ve never written a review for an app before, but this has been my go to email client for almost 4 years now. Aesthetically pleasing, cross platform, easy to use. I love how I can access multiple email accounts with just one login. It hasn’t been updated in a while, but I’m just glad the lights are still on!

### 5/5 — Larry TwoBird

*2025-09-05, version 3.2.0*

An aesthetically pleasing, easy, clean email app >>>> 

Love this thing

### 5/5 — Great productivity app for emails

*2025-08-29, version 3.2.0*

Such a simple yet effective app for emails. Feels less cluttered

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-07-04, version 3.2.0*

This is the perfect app, calendar, email, and to-do’s in one place, have searched for too long for this

### 5/5 — Love Love Love - please don’t abandon this

*2025-06-28, version 3.2.0*

Dear wonderful creators of Notability — my other favorite app, I know you have you have your hands full at the moment, but please please consider finding a way in the future when you have capacity to at the very least maintain Twobird. It is exactly the app for email, calendar, and to dos that I have been looking for — I would pay a subscription to use it. Also if you find someone else who wants to take it over, please make sure they don’t mess it up. So very appreciative of all you do. Sincerely, Chaplain Kelly

### 5/5 — The ONLY good mail app that doesn’t make me irritated

*2024-12-19, version 3.2.0*

I’ve tried many of the mail app options out there across my Mac iPhone and iPad, including Canary, Spark and even Superhuman, and I always felt uncomfortable and not at home with those apps. Twobird immediately makes me feel safe inside my email world, not always on the edge about whether I missed an email or replied wrong. This app puts everything in clear view and doesn’t bundle any stupid AI automation as far as I see. It has a very basic “low priority” filter enabled by default so you can get to “those emails” later. Definitely switching to Twobird for now!

### 2/5 — Can’t …

*2024-12-07, version 3.2.0*

Can’t delete trashed emails. 
Can’t change swipe settings.
Can’t get rid of unwanted priority inboxes.
Can’t delete unless opening every single email and choosing ’delete’ from toolbar. 
Can’t create rules. 

Note to Devs: ‘Archive isn’t the same as ‘Delete’. Archive adds more stuff that isn’t dealt with right away and hoards space. And opening an email in order to delete it is a waste of time and potentially dangerous if the email is a virus. 

‘Delete’ should be the most obvious function (aside from ‘Compose’) included in any email app. 

Please don’t sacrifice functionality for shiny features that become useless when one can’t even do the basics. 

I hope you get this fixed. It’s been an on-going issue since the app first launched and if it were fixed, twobird would be my go-to app.

### 5/5 — Simple yet functional

*2024-11-29, version 3.2.0*

I just love this so great.
