I'm making Letterslot, a native mail app for Apple devices. Sorry about the name. A lot of mail, box, mime-related names were already taken, and eventually you have to get on with making the thing.

I was fed up with the constant stream of liquefied garbage entering my inbox. I'm guessing some of you are too. So I decided to build the mail app I wanted.

The idea is simple: you screen your senders. The ones you want land in your inbox. The others get archived.

Labels work a little differently too. Apple Intelligence labels emails as they arrive. You choose which senders should skip your inbox, and Letterslot sorts those emails automatically.

Letterslot keeps its labels and other metadata inside the app, without rubbing them all over your Gmail labels or Outlook folders.

But my favourite feature is the search. It's so good. Silky smooth. Ask for “flights from 2014” and it'll find flights you booked in 2014, as well as flights you took in 2014 but booked in 2013. That's an extremely clever "- 1" I did in the code. You're welcome.

It's in beta, and I'm looking for guinea pigs. I mean, early adopters.

I'm trying to store as little customer data as possible. I can't see what you're doing in the app, which is how I want it. It does mean that if something breaks, I'll need you to send a bug report if you can.

The whole idea is to put your privacy first, make your inbox feel like yours again, and say f*** off to trackers.

Hope you enjoy.
