🔑 Hunters please use the invite code: 'producthunt' Thanks for the hunt 💬 We’ve started Hop with the vision to radically improve the way people and businesses communicate over email. We’ve made Email conversational, clutter free, fast and enabled real group collaboration over email with Hop Groups. 🔒 Today, we're excited to announce our first step in upgrading Email Privacy with Hop EEM (Encrypted Email Messaging). Privacy is a very important element of any communication (especially email). It grants you the comfort to speak, collaborate and share information freely, without worrying about cybercriminals, hackers or ‘officials’ who might be listening... We’ve designed Hop EEM to be as simple to use, you can quickly toggle between regular Email and Encrypted Email using the lock button, no codes, passwords or hustle required. When active, the message and all attachments are safely encrypted. Encrypted Messages are seamlessly visible to all participants using Hop and one tap away for non Hop users. Hop EEM works by creating a per message encryption key and splitting the key between Hop and your Email Provider, making “bad actors” access virtually impossible.
Such a great UX! I'm like 10 times faster to reply to my emails thanks to Hop!
This could be really interesting! Have you guys written any more about how the encryption works? There's this at the end but I was after a bit more detail... > Hop EEM works by creating a per message encryption key and splitting the key between Hop and your Email Provider, making “bad actors” access virtually impossible.

we're in the process of finalizing the system, once we do we'll publish a full write-up. When you turn on EEM, we encrypt the message and attachments using AES256, the sent email contains only part of the encryption key plus unique identifiers plus other stuff :)
Alright, cool. To second what said, the on-boarding is excellent!
Desktop app in works? This a great app but needs a desktop client also.
Maker
on it 😉
any eta?
I just installed it, the conversational UI for the on-boarding process is superb. Well done guys!
My favorite mail app by far. It really drastically increased my productivity. Thanks guys!!
This is cool!!
10X better than any other email app. GREAT job!
Will there be a full write-up on the storage and transmission model? It's hard to say how little "cybercriminals" could glean, or even how much "officials" could subpoena, from emails with what's just here.

yep, we're in the process of finalizing the system, once we do we'll publish a full write-up.
Who is ChatFlow? Encryption is great when you have trust and transparency behind the vendor. Can you get more info on who Guy and Erez are and why they made these great tools! I love the idea of merging email and chat in a secure app, but I think you could go much further with it! Get Snowden or Assange's paid endorsement for some real traction!
if both users have to have the app to view/respond to the emails (from what I can see) why would someone not just use Whatsapp with encrypted messaging built in?

1. email works way better for business communication 2. don't mix business & personal 3. email address identity
Liked HOP, didn't realize Encryption is such a priority.
Maker
our mission is to upgrade all aspects of email communication including privacy :)
