Hey Hunters 👋 I'm Kapil, maker of Dzong Mail.

Every AI email assistant makes the same quiet ask: give us your inbox.
Your messages on their servers, their model reading them, $20–30/month for the privilege.

We asked a dumber question: why does the mail have to travel to the assistant?

It doesn't. The assistant can travel to the mail.

Dzong Mail is a full AI email client that runs entirely on your computer:

🧠 Local AI via Ollama, works offline. Or bring your own OpenAI / Anthropic key
✍️ 3 draft replies per email, written the way YOU write to that specific person
🌙 Morning briefing: overnight mail labeled, drafts waiting, your inbox priced in minutes
🧹 Bulk unsubscribe, ranked by how much of each sender you actually read
📊 Inbox health score + reply debt (warning: humbling)
↩️ Every automated action logged and undoable
📬 Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, iCloud, any IMAP. Unlimited accounts
💸 $0. Forever. No "AI plan", no seats, no trial. There's no cloud to bill you for. 🫡
🔓 MIT licensed. Read every line of code that touches your mail.

Why "Dzong"?
Bhutan's fortress-monasteries, where communities kept their records behind walls they owned. Walls were never the problem. Whose walls is the question.

3 things I'd love you to try:

Let the local model draft a reply, then pick from 3 takes
Open Analytics & check your inbox health score (be brave)
Connect your $3/month IMAP host, not just the big two

Brutal feedback welcome, especially from people who've sworn off email assistants.

What would make you switch? 👀
