StoreeMail turns email into stories you can watch, hear, and act on. Connect Gmail, iCloud Mail, Outlook, or IMAP. StoryMail turns your real messages into short stories — a summary, what you need to know, and what to do next — using on-device Apple Intelligence when available, with Smart Rules as a fallback. Original email bodies are not sent to a third-party cloud by default. STORIES See today's mail at a glance, then open any story for the key facts and a one-tap next step: Reply, Add to Calendar, Track Package, Remind Me, and more. PLAY MY EMAIL Tap play and StoryMail reads your new mail aloud, one story after another, with Lock Screen and Control Center controls. MY DAY Your important emails organized on a timeline, with a full schedule view. SEARCH Ask a question, search by voice, or tap a quick pick for packages, bills, flights, meetings, and receipts. WATCH Full-screen story mode with captions, motion, narration, and an optional soundtrack. YOU Accounts, preferences, narrator voices, Memory, privacy, and help in one place. ALSO INCLUDED • Reply, Reply All, Forward, star, archive, mute, remind, and calendar actions • Morning Brief widgets, Dynamic Island Live Activities, and Control Center controls • Siri & Shortcuts: read important mail, morning brief, search, open, archive, sync • Sign in with Apple for optional private iCloud library sync across your devices • Messages sharing and Share Extension import • Camera, Photos, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, and Speech only when you choose those actions Privacy-first by design: credentials stay in the iOS Keychain; iCloud stores summaries and flags, not original email bodies or mailbox tokens.
