Pliego Mail
Read full descriptionHide full description
All your email in one beautiful inbox, without spy pixels. Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo, Fastmail or any IMAP account. Pliego shows it to you, and nobody else. Your email stays where it always lived. Pliego is just the app that shows it: fast, private and free of ads. SIGN UP WITHOUT GIVING YOUR REAL EMAIL Create disposable addresses with their own inbox. Verification codes are ready to copy, and Pliego warns you when an address starts getting mail from someone it wasn't meant for. Pause or delete it and the spam stops. ENCRYPTED EMAIL, WITHOUT SWITCHING ACCOUNTS Send a password-protected message the recipient opens in any browser, even on Gmail or Outlook. The key never leaves your iPhone. Nobody in between, not even Pliego, can read it. AI THAT STAYS ON YOUR iPHONE A daily summary of what matters across all your accounts, processed on device with Apple Intelligence. Prefer another model? Bring your own OpenAI or Google Gemini key, or point Pliego at any compatible server, including your own Ollama. No margin added, no lock-in. IS IT REALLY YOUR BANK? With AI on, Pliego warns you when a sender isn't who they claim to be, before you tap anything. NEVER LOSE A REPLY Pick a reminder when you send. If they answer, it cancels itself. If they don't, Pliego lets you know. FILES TOO BIG FOR EMAIL Send videos, RAW photos and huge PDFs with Pliego Bandeja: encrypted, with a link that expires and a download limit. READ ANY LANGUAGE Translate an email on your iPhone without breaking its design. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN Widgets that archive and snooze, and a real Apple Watch app. EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS • Unified inbox with one-tap account filtering • Snooze that syncs across your devices • Rules, VIPs, blocked senders and smart folders • Tracking pixels blocked, remote images off until you say so • Real dark mode, even for light HTML emails • Face ID lock • Available in 9 languages PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK • No ads, no analytics, no tracking identifiers • Your rules, VIPs and settings sync through your private iCloud database, not our servers • Our servers only step in for what you turn on: instant notifications (they watch for new mail, with your credentials stored encrypted), disposable addresses and encrypted files • A privacy policy written in plain language Privacy policy: https://pliegomail.com/privacy.html Terms of use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Support: support@pliegomail.com
Bubble Mail

Bubble makes Gmail feel less like an inbox and more like a conversation. See every Gmail thread as a clear, chronological exchange while correspondents continue to receive ordinary email. Built for clarity • Gmail thread IDs keep conversations correctly separated • Subjects stay available without dominating the screen • Exact visible recipients are shown before you send • Cleaned message text can always be reversed to the complete original • Search and filters help you find unread, starred, sent, file, and group conversations Clear old clutter safely with Bubble Sweep • Choose Promotions, Social, Updates, or Forums • Filter by age • Protect starred, important, or attachment mail • Preview the exact Gmail search and count before changing anything • Archive by default or move exact matches to recoverable Trash • Leave the Sweep screen or switch apps while work continues on supported iOS versions • Resume from a protected on-device checkpoint if iOS pauses the task • Undo completed changes Private by design Bubble processes and caches mailbox content on your iPhone. It blocks remote images, tracking pixels, scripts, forms, and active HTML by default. Bubble does not sell mailbox data or add advertising or analytics to the mail path. Disconnecting removes the selected account’s Bubble data from the device while the original mail stays in Gmail. Bubble Plus Optional purchases unlock up to eight Gmail accounts, more pins, private templates and signatures, saved triage views, an attachment center, expanded offline history, custom swipe actions, and additional themes, effects, sounds, and app icons. Purchases are handled by Apple. A Gmail account is required for live mail. People using other email apps do not need Bubble.
