With Avec, email goes from a chore to a 1-minute ritual. Avec shows you the emails that matter first, one at a time, and lets you reply with your voice. Free, works with your existing Gmail accounts (personal and work). YOUR PERSONALIZED EMAIL ALGORITHM Avec prioritizes your inbox and shows your important emails one by one. No more scrolling past important messages buried under newsletters and promos. Importance is learned per sender from what you do, and you can override it on any email. Prefer a regular inbox? Switch to List view anytime. NOTIFICATIONS THAT TELL THE WHOLE STORY Stay on top of things without opening your inbox. Avec’s notifications are judicious, and summarize what an email says and what needs your attention, right on your lock screen. Choose alerts for your highest-priority messages, every important email, or just login codes. REPLY WITH VOICE Use voice to send emails in seconds. Say a few key points and let Avec draft a perfect email for you. Review it, tweak it with voice, and send. ALL YOUR GMAIL IN ONE PLACE Add your work, personal, and side-project Gmail accounts and triage them as one. Each card shows which account it came from, and one tap filters down to just that account when you want to focus. And search all of them at once when you’re not sure where to find an email. SWIPE TO ZERO One at a time, in no time. Swipe through your Stack the way you swipe through everything else on your phone (yes, it’s like Tinder for email). Swipe right for Done, left to save for Later, down to stop hearing from a sender. Changed your mind? Undo. Get to inbox zero in seconds, no discipline needed. KEEP YOUR CALENDAR UP-TO-DATE, NO EFFORT NEEDED Meetings, reservations, flights; Avec finds plans in your email and adds them to Google Calendar. Review suggestions yourself, or turn on automatic adding to keep your calendar up to date as plans change. YOUR GMAIL, YOUR RULES Avec is a layer on top of Gmail, not a replacement for it. You decide what happens in Gmail when you swipe: archive, or just mark as read and keep in your inbox. Nothing is sent, archived, or deleted without your permission. NOTHING FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS Mark emails you can’t handle yet as Todo. Avec reads them and suggests the date itself, so “can you get this to me by Thursday” reminds you on Thursday without you setting anything. When a Todo comes due it returns to the top of your Stack and reminds you. SMARTER NOTIFICATIONS Most apps show you a sender and a subject and make you open the app to find out if emails matter. Avec’s notifications tell you what the email says and what it wants from you, in a sentence, on the lock screen. LOGIN CODES, INSTANTLY Login codes you receive over email autofill throughout your apps, so you never dig through your inbox to find a 6-digit code. ASK YOUR INBOX Avec's search is different. Instead of sifting through threads, just ask. Avec gives you great answers in seconds. ONE-TAP UNSUBSCRIBE Not every sender deserves the same attention. Once you’ve handled what matters, unsubscribe with a single tap. Or block a sender outright. CLEAR YOUR BACKLOG Thousands of old emails waiting in your inbox? Review the important ones and clear everything else in under a minute. Then see how tall your backlog was. BUILT FOR THREADS AND INVITES Long thread? Read the summary instead. Calendar invite? RSVP yes, no, or maybe without leaving the email, and add it to your calendar in a tap. Download Avec and try it free now.
