About

Boogie Mail

Features
Read full description

Boogie is the native JMAP mail, calendar and contacts client β€” built on JMAP 1.0, the protocol that replaces IMAP. It's the only client that treats JMAP as a first-class citizen: mail, calendar, contacts, scheduling and multi-account support are all native. Works with any JMAP 1.0 server β€” Stalwart, Fastmail, or any RFC 8620 / 8621 provider. Bring your own server; Boogie doesn't care which. β€’ One-step sign-in β€” connect with your provider's secure web login, no server addresses or tokens to hunt down. Fastmail OAuth covers mail, contacts and calendars, including your shared Global Address Book β€’ Native JMAP 1.0 β€” mail, calendar and contacts, no IMAP fallback β€’ Calendar invitations done right: accept or decline from the email, see your response stick, change it any time β€” organisers get exactly one reply. Cancelled events offer Remove from Calendar. Day, week and month views; the day view updates live as invitations arrive β€’ Contacts across all your accounts, with clear states β€” never a silent empty screen. Apple Contacts are read locally for recipient autocomplete β€’ Server-side Sieve filters and vacation auto-reply β€’ Multi-account with auto-discovery of sibling JMAP accounts β€’ Real-time sync while the app is open β€’ Boogie Push (optional add-on) β€” new mail arrives on iPhone and iPad even when Boogie is closed. Alerts show sender and subject and open the right message in the right account, and your mail stays private: we can't read it. First month free, then a separate subscription. On Mac, notifications while the app is running stay free β€’ Undo Send with a configurable delay. Fail-safe sending: if an account can't send, your draft is kept and you're told why β€’ Honest account health β€” clear badges when an account needs attention, automatic recovery when it doesn't β€’ Scheduled send, message templates, HTML signatures, font picker, multi-message forward, Send Again β€’ Spotlight indexing β€’ 41 languages, including right-to-left (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, Syriac) β€’ Universal Purchase β€” one payment unlocks iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac Privacy first: Boogie keeps your mail on your device. No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Apple Contacts are read locally for recipient autocomplete and never uploaded; your JMAP mail, calendar and contacts live on your own server β€” never ours. 14-day full-feature trial; after that, read-only mode unless you subscribe. Boogie Push is a separate optional add-on and is not included in Annual or Lifetime. Support: support@boogie.digital Privacy: https://boogie.digital/privacy/ Terms: https://boogie.digital/terms/
