With Canary Mail for iOS, we believe we’ve achieved something unprecedented – cutting-edge PGP security in an app that’s beautifully designed and feature-rich. This enhances security, performance, and reduces bandwidth and battery use. While apps like Trove and Astro also offer some of these features, what’s special about Canary is that the AI is built into the app – we don’t send user data over the internet to be parsed on remote servers. So like Apple Mail, we decided to give users the option to switch to Fetch – where email is fetched from and stored directly on the device, with a small delay in new notifications.įinally, we wanted to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance certain functionality and make our iPhone mail app even more effortless to use. A beautiful design and user experience that makes dealing with today’s email volumes as effortless as possible, especially on the iPhone, but also optimized for iPadĪdditionally, there’s also the challenge of delivering push notifications securely, which all apps including Outlook, Spark, Airmail, Edison Mail, Newton Mail, etc must deal with – we’ve described this in detail here.Universal IMAP support, including Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, iCloud, FastMail, etc.Minimal server footprint, with the option to store zero personal data on 3rd party servers. Natural language search which works on emails, attachments, and contacts.Productivity-enhancing features such as AI writer, read-tracking, snooze, follow-up reminders, smart bulk mail handling, and smart inbox filters, optimized for iOS.Seamless email encryption, similar to how WhatsApp does it for chat.With Canary, we faced the additional challenge of translating the amazing design, performance and feature set of our Mac client to our iOS mail app.Īs we’ve described in our rationale for developing the best Mac mail app, in our view, the best email app for iPhone & iPad should also have: Email on iPhone is tricky – there’s a large amount of data to be parsed within a set of strict constraints – screen size, battery & bandwidth use, and variable connectivity.
