• Intelligent Assistant. Uses artificial intelligence technology to generate, summarize, and improve email text. It analyzes the content of incoming messages to identify actionable items, such as requests or deadlines. It locates contact information and relevant data within conversation threads. It can generate automatic replies based on the communication's context.
• Intelligent Scheduling. Allows delaying the sending of messages to a specific date and time. The Cloud Send feature guarantees scheduled delivery even if the computer is turned off or offline. It offers suggestions for optimized send times for each recipient, based on past email opening patterns.
• Email Tracking. Provides real-time notifications when a sent message is opened by the recipient. It logs the approximate geographic location, the device used, and the number of times the email is viewed. For messages with multiple recipients, it individually identifies each person who has opened the message, also working from mobile devices.
• Message Snooze. Temporarily hides emails from the main inbox and automatically returns them at a specified time. Messages can be scheduled to reappear on a future date, a specific day of the week, or when the sender writes again.
• Contact Management. Centralizes contact information with a unified profile that aggregates all email exchanges, attached notes, and pending tasks. It displays the complete communication history with each person and the status of sent messages, including whether they have been opened or not.
• Email Signatures. Creates and manages multiple HTML-formatted email signatures. Allows custom design with different fonts, colors, images, and element arrangement. Signatures can be assigned manually or automatically based on the email address from which the message is sent.
• Message Templates. Stores predefined texts for frequent replies and communications. Templates can include variable fields that are filled in manually with each use, such as names, dates, or specific details. Speeds up the composition of repetitive messages while maintaining consistency in communication.
• Task Management. Converts emails into actionable items with due dates and reminders. Tasks can be linked to specific contacts or conversation threads. Allows prioritizing and categorizing pending activities directly from the email client interface.
• Notes System. Adds textual annotations to individual contacts or email conversations. The information is stored permanently and accessible from the contact's profile or the message thread. It serves to record relevant details of conversations, preferences, or established agreements.
• Team Collaboration. Shares resources such as contacts, notes, tasks, signatures, and templates with other members of the same work group. Maintains consistency in the team's external communication. Modifications to shared resources are synchronized among all users with access permissions.
• Attachment Reminder. Automatically scans the message text for keywords suggesting the intention to attach a file. If it detects terms like "attached," "you'll find attached," or "file," and no file has been added, it shows an alert before sending to confirm the omission.
• Undo Send. Sets a grace period between the moment "send" is pressed and the actual departure of the message from the server. During this interval, the user can cancel or recall the email to make modifications. Prevents the premature sending of messages with errors or incorrect recipients.
• Cloud Attachments. Uploads large files to online storage servers and includes them in emails as download links. Overcomes size limitations imposed by email providers. Provides download statistics to know if the recipient has accessed the file.
• Automatic Replies. Configures out-of-office messages with specific date scheduling. It can send different responses to contacts inside and outside the organization. Automatically deactivates replies once the set period has ended.
• Unified Inbox. Aggregates multiple email accounts into a consolidated view displaying all incoming messages. Allows filtering and searching across all accounts simultaneously. Maintains organization by folders and labels specific to each email provider.

Product development began in 2014, with the main objective of extending the native capabilities of the Apple Mail client. The first commercial version was released in 2015. The software is built using a combination of programming languages, including Objective-C and Swift for integration with the Apple ecosystem, JavaScript for interface components, and a Python backend for cloud services. The architecture follows a plugin model that integrates directly with the Apple Mail API.
