EmailWatch is built for moments when checking your inbox isn’t enough. When an email is truly important, you need to know right away, not the next time you open your mail app. EmailWatch watches for specific emails based on rules you define and sends an instant push notification when those conditions are met. Nothing more. Nothing less. Why EmailWatch Most inboxes are noisy. Newsletters, receipts, promos, CCs. Important messages get buried, and constant checking becomes a habit. EmailWatch flips that around. You decide what matters. EmailWatch stays quiet until it happens. How it works β€’ Connect your email account securely β€’ Create simple rules based on sender, subject, or recipient β€’ Get a push notification the moment a matching email arrives No inbox refreshing. No endless scanning. Just the alerts you actually want. Never miss urgent emails For emails that really matter, EmailWatch supports Critical Alerts. These notifications can break through Do Not Disturb and silent mode, so you’re alerted even when your phone is otherwise quiet. Perfect for: On-call work Production alerts Time-sensitive approvals Personal messages you can’t afford to miss Built for control and security Supports major providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo Secure authentication options, including OAuth where available Alerts only trigger when your rules match Dark mode and a clean, focused interface Use cases people love Get notified when a specific client emails you Alert when an invoice or payment confirmation arrives Watch for system or service emails with certain subjects Know immediately when a critical message comes in, without living in your inbox Simple by design EmailWatch isn’t another email client. It doesn’t replace your inbox. It just makes sure you don’t miss what matters. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
