Kurir Email vs Kendoshi

Kurir is a mail app for iPhone and Mac where new senders knock first. It works with the mail account you already have: iCloud, Gmail, Fastmail or any IMAP server. There is no Kurir account and no server to run. THE SCREENER The first time someone writes to you, their mail waits in the Screener. One tap sends the sender to the Imbox, The Feed or Paper Trail. Another blocks them. You decide once per sender, or once for a whole domain, and Kurir remembers. THREE PLACES, NOT ONE PILE The Imbox holds mail from people you approved. The Feed holds the newsletters you chose to keep. Paper Trail holds receipts, bookings and shipping notices, found with search the day you need one. YOUR MAILBOX IS THE SYNC Kurir keeps your screening choices, rules, snoozes and settings in a hidden folder in your own mailbox. Your iPhone and your Mac both read it, so they agree without a server in between. Turn on encryption and that folder is sealed with a passphrase only you know. CALENDAR Connect an iCloud, Google, Fastmail or other CalDAV calendar, or subscribe to an .ics link. Day, week and month views show how many hours are still open, and the next meeting sits on top with a Join button. NEW MAIL RIGHT AWAY Kurir Push keeps checking your mail and pushes new mail to your iPhone. It runs on a Mac with Kurir open, or on a server of your own. Without it, the iPhone checks for new mail when iOS lets it. AND THE REST Reply Later, snooze, follow-ups, send later, pinned threads, Collections, contacts and groups, a list of every attachment, several accounts, and search across all your mail on the device. Images that report when you open a mail stay blocked. AI ON YOUR OWN SUBSCRIPTION Draft generation and AI Rules run on the Claude subscription you connect in Settings. The mail a feature needs goes straight to Anthropic, with no Kurir server in between. PRIVATE No analytics and no tracking. Your mail stays on your device and your mail server. SUBSCRIPTION Kurir is free to download and needs a subscription, yearly or monthly. The yearly plan starts with a free month and the monthly plan with a free week. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Kendoshi is project management for individuals and small teams who work visually. Use it solo, or connect it to a Kendoshi team server. Projects are organised as boards with groups, status chips and tables, the day is planned in My Day, and the calendar keeps the overview. Your data lives in your iCloud, not with the developer. SOLO OR TEAM Solo is the normal case and works out of the box: no account, no server, no credentials. Everything stays on your devices and in your private iCloud. Team mode is optional. It needs a Kendoshi server, which you get from the developer and run yourself; team access is unlocked on that server, not in the app. There is no hosted service and no account with the developer. PROJECTS AS BOARDS Folders, projects, groups and tasks in a clear structure. Status, priority, due date, start date, person and custom extra columns. Reorder rows and groups by drag and drop, duplicate groups and projects as templates. QUICK ENTRY WITH NATURAL SYNTAX One line is enough: “Finish mix tomorrow 3pm p1 #album every week” creates the task with date, time, priority, project and recurrence. English and German are both recognised. On the Mac also available as a floating panel with a keyboard shortcut from any app. MY DAY AND MY WORK My Work collects everything open, sorted by day, date, project or priority. My Day plans your day in blocks from morning to evening and suggests matching tasks. A day block is an intention, not a new due date. CALENDAR Day, week, month and timeline. Move tasks directly in the calendar, show events from Apple Calendar, subscribe to external calendars via ICS link. Scheduled tasks can also appear in Apple Calendar; in team mode, tasks are available as an ICS feed you can subscribe to in any calendar. FOCUS EVERYWHERE Start a 5 to 60 minute focus from any task. The time left stays in view as a small pill, on the Mac also in the menu bar. At the end choose done, 5 more minutes or a break, right in the notification too. Reminder 30 minutes before tasks with a time. SEARCH Use ⌘K or the magnifier to search titles, notes, subtasks and project names. In solo mode also via Spotlight, which you can turn off. NOTES, STEPS, LINKS Every task has formatted notes, checklists, subtasks and links. Recurring tasks automatically create the next instance when completed. YOUR DATA, YOUR ICLOUD In solo mode everything is stored in your private iCloud database and synced via CloudKit between Mac, iPhone and iPad. In team mode, shared projects live on your own team server. No account with the developer, no tracking, no ads. Export a backup as a file, deleted items stay in the archive for 30 days. AI BUTTON, NO AI BUILT IN Kendoshi does not include a language model. The AI button on every task breaks it down, clarifies it or helps you get started: without a key as a ready prompt for Claude or any other AI, with your own API key as a suggestion with a preview. Data is sent only when you click and after your consent, directly to your provider. On the Mac, in solo mode, your own AI client can also connect, locally only and off by default. TEAM MODE IN DETAIL You get the Kendoshi server from the developer and install it on your own machine, your own NAS or your own hosting. You unlock team access there, then connect the app to your team: shared projects, people, assignments, comments and the team ICS feed. Everyone on the team uses the same app from the App Store. Team mode is never required to use Kendoshi. DESIGN Calm interface with few lines, three themes (Light, Dark, Paper) and freely selectable colours. Interface in English or German, switchable at any time. Kendoshi grew out of the daily work of a music project and independent label, where it is used by the team every day. It was built by a person with ADHD; it is not a medical application and promises no therapeutic effect.
