Lumen Mail
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lumen is a mail app that does mail, and nothing else. No account to create, no ads, and no servers of ours in between. Your mail travels directly from this device to your mail provider; your password lives only in the system Keychain. What it does: - Receive, read, reply, archive. That's the whole feature list. - Reader mode turns cluttered newsletters into clean, readable text. - Long message? Tap Summary. Generated on your device; nothing leaves it. - Opens instantly from a local cache; the latest messages are fetched ahead of time so they're ready when you tap. - New mail arrives in real time while the app is open, with no polling. - One app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. What it doesn't do: No calendar, no to-dos, no team features, no "smart" feeds, no cloud AI of ours, no AI-written replies, no tracking pixels of our own, no analytics SDKs. This isn't a promiseβit's how the app is built. Currently supports iCloud Mail and NetEase Mail (163, 126, yeah.net, and 188). iCloud uses an app-specific password; NetEase uses an authorization code. The app walks you through getting either one.
