Canary Mail - Easy, elegant email for Mac

Hi PH, we're excited to be here again! Special thanks to Kate & Ben, for being very responsive and helpful! Canary is an exciting new email client for Mac that offers a full set of powerful features with one key difference - your emails are not stored on a 3rd party server. Every facet of Canary has been designed in accordance with our core philosophy of ensuring complete user privacy and offering reliable & snappy performance. Unlike other apps/services, using Canary is not contingent on providing access to your data. Over the last couple of months, we’ve worked closely with our amazing group of beta testers to continuously refine & enhance performance and UX to ensure that Canary is a joy to use. For a limited time, Product Hunt users can download and try the beta right away via our website!

Wowowow. Awesome work, you guys. Was just pulling out my hair a few days ago over the sad state of desktop mail clients, and voila, here you are. As for desktop clients, there are barely any contenders, and even among the best there are too many compromises. In my opinion, Canary nails most of what I want, and it does so with with panache. On a related note, I think it's silly that so many of the new mail app developers keep B-lining for mobile. Yes, everything is going mobile, but the mobile mail space is already super crowded, and the existing solutions are just fine. Apple's Mail app for iPhone isn't amazing, but it gets the job done, whereas Apple's Mail app for desktop is a buggy monstrosity. If you accept that mobile and desktop will probably merge at some point in the not-too-distant future, it makes sense to penetrate the market from the other angle (desktop), where the competition is small-time at best. Anyway, great job again, @sohelsanghani and team. Just made this my default mail client. P.S. The one thing Canary needs is an undo send feature. Super croosh.

Great job! I was using Polymail but the bugs added up and became too much of an issue for me. This mail app has been great for me --- no bugs so far, great interface, super fast and all the features I need. Well done!

It is really a wonderful email client. Very fast, responsive and with tracking, auto-theme, attachement view etc. it has some great features. Can't wait to beta test the iOS version!

Looks like a beautiful UI. I'm using Nylas and Polymail right now. Looks like everyone is aiming at the same feature set: read receipts, snooze, send later, etc. The one thing that isn't talked about a lot but is probably the single most important thing (as I'm realizing) is security. > How does Canary handle email to be secure? Data at rest / in transit policies, etc.

How do they make money? 😕

I'm a big, big fan of Canary Mail but I'm a bit confused as to what it is doing on the featured page of PH. I'm happily running the lastest beta-version 0.6 (123). Is that the official release? And what the heck does '2.0' mean? Has there been a version 1.0 that I have missed completely?

For years I've been reluctant to use a desktop client for no particular reason, but I'm converting now! Everything has been great so far and I'm up and running. Questions: is there a way to make my Unreads "sticky" at the top? That seems to be my only request at the moment! Great work.

Hey, @sohelsanghani Looks like a great app. Two questions, how do you think it differs from a Polymail. Can you send later and stuff?

At first I thought: "Not ANOTHER email client for Mac, how many more are there gonna be!?" But I must admit you guys have done a great job. A performant native mac application, that's what I want! I won't name any, but there have been a few email clients built on electron, which is basically a chrome wrapper with some native app features, and these apps are just as powerhungry as chrome itself. A No-Go for a simple Mail Client. I really want to give this a try!
