A Smart AI Assistant for Email
Canary Mail is an innovative email app that provides a host of AI-powered features to make email management easier. The star of the show is AI Sidekick, Canary's built-in AI assistant. Sidekick can write emails for you; just tap the magic wand and tell it what you want to say. I found the AI-generated emails were well-written, polite, and got the message across effectively. This is a huge timesaver when you need to send quick responses or follow-ups.
Another handy AI feature is email summarization. For long email threads, Canary will summarize the key points so you can get the gist without reading every message. The AI also helps prioritize your inbox by highlighting important emails and muting notifications from low-priority senders. Overall, the AI capabilities make email feel smarter and more manageable.
However, Canary does have some limitations around filtering and organization. Unlike some email apps, you can't create custom folders or filters based on senders, keywords, etc. I also couldn't find a way to get notifications for emails by skipping the inbox and going to default folders. So you need to manually check folders to make sure you don't miss anything.
But the AI features more than make up for these shortcomings, in my opinion. Having an AI assistant handle mundane email tasks is a huge productivity boost. In my opinion, much more AI integration would make this program hard to beat. Think of: Smart filtering, better email writer (option to insert your own OPEN AI API key for example) If you want a smart email manager that can actually write emails for you, Canary Mail is a great choice. The AI integration sets it apart from most other options out there. I would recommend giving Canary a try to experience the AI magic for yourself!
Canary Mail does a lot of things right that other email apps just don’t, like its seamless design and user interface, and its refreshing customization options. I’ve encountered a couple bugs, and they do that thing where they stick the paid features right there on the home screen to tempt and frustrate you, but it’s better than any other email app I’ve tried so far—which is quite a few!
This is the best email I have used and I have tried a bunch of of them. It’s easy to use and it crosses over to all of Apple devices so when I delete from my watch I don’t have to worry on my other devices and that’s huge for me.
Canary is one of the best looking Mail client for Mac and iOS around. It is very well integrated an synced among devices. The Pro features are mostly worth it and make it an incredibly complete and desirable product, especially given that they offer a one time purchase alongside the subscription. Overall a great app, the one star is missing for now due to some useful intelligent email sorting that are missing and would make a difference, and some bugs here and there. In spite of this, I totally recommend it!
