An AI inbox that triages itself, drafts in your voice, and follows up so you don’t have to remember to. ORGANIZE EMAILS YOUR WAY Upstream sorts, flags, and surfaces what needs your attention today. Noise gets filed away. No rules to set up or folders to maintain. It learns how you work and gets out of your way. DRAFTS IN YOUR VOICE. NOT A VOICE. Upstream writes like you. Not like AI pretending to be you. It studies how you write, how you talk to this specific person, and what the thread already sounds like, then drafts from there. The reply is waiting before you've finished reading the email. THE FOLLOW-UP WRITES ITSELF Upstream watches the threads going quiet, writes the nudge, and adds it to your inbox to send. The open loops close themselves. The ball never gets dropped.
Mailed
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mailed is a calm, focused inbox cleaner for Gmail. • One-tap unsubscribe — Mailed scans your mailbox for newsletters and promotional senders, then unsubscribes on your behalf. • Shadow Inbox — automatically routes low-priority mail out of sight so your primary inbox only shows what matters. • Multi-account — connect more than one Gmail account and manage them from a single, beautifully simple interface. • Secure by design — sign-in uses Google OAuth; tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device. • No tracking, no ads, no selling your data. Mailed never reads your personal email. It only inspects sender metadata and List-Unsubscribe headers needed to clean up subscriptions.
