ThreadCrunch turns messy email threads into clean, readable URLs. Forward to share@threadcrunch.io → get a shareable link Forward to process@threadcrunch.io → get AI analysis (tone, intent, action items, draft reply) No extensions. No integrations.

Forward to process@threadcrunch.io instead 2. Same parsing, but then the...
