Daily AI email brief · Gmail, Outlook & IMAP
Your inbox, down to what matters.
Every morning, MailBrief reads your inbox and sends one 2-minute brief: what's urgent, who's waiting on your reply, and which threads went quiet after you hit send. You keep the inbox you already use — no new app to learn.

Why MailBrief100+ emails a day.
100+ emails a day.
Only a handful actually need you.
The rest is receipts, newsletters, notifications, and noise — buried right next to the message your client is waiting on. Triage shouldn't be the first hour of your morning.

How it works
Set it up once. Then just read your brief.
Three quiet steps. No new app to learn, no inbox to migrate — MailBrief works alongside the email you already use.
It reads & sorts
MailBrief's AI reads what's new and classifies every message into one of six clear statuses — so the ones that matter rise to the top and the rest fall away.
Skim it, act on it
A short brief lands in your inbox at the times you pick — morning, afternoon, or both. Open your dashboard any time to work through tasks in full context and check them off as you go.
The six statuses
Every email gets one clear label.
No more guessing what's actually yours to act on. MailBrief sorts everything into exactly six buckets — so a glance tells you where to look.
Urgent
Time-sensitive and waiting on you right now. These sit at the very top of every brief.
Needs reply
Someone is genuinely waiting on your response. The people who'll notice if you go quiet.
Follow-up needed
You sent something and got silence back. A gentle nudge before the thread goes cold.
Platform actions
Stripe, Shopify, Calendly, DocuSign and the like want something — invoices, signatures, bookings.
Spam check
A real reply or invoice can land in spam by mistake. MailBrief catches the legit-looking ones and flags them to verify — so nothing real slips past you.
On your radar
Coming up, but nothing to do yet — a heads-up so future-you isn't caught off guard.
The dashboard
A brief you finish, not a report you read.
The email is the daily read. The web dashboard is where you work through it — check items off as you handle them, and cleared threads stay out of your next brief.
- Check items off — the progress bar moves; done means done.
- Past 30 briefs — scroll back through any morning you missed.
- Send me one now — an on-demand brief whenever you want.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything you'd want to know before connecting your inbox.
Does MailBrief send email for me?
No. MailBrief is strictly read-only. It reads your inbox to build your brief and never sends, replies to, or deletes anything on your behalf.
Does it work with Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP?
Yes. Gmail and Outlook connect in one click through secure OAuth, and you can link any other mailbox over IMAP. Either way, we never see your password.
How much does it cost?
MailBrief is $9/month after a 7-day free trial — one plan, everything included, cancel anytime. Waitlist members get first access and a founding price at launch.
When can I start using MailBrief?
We're in final testing — join the waitlist and early members get first access when we open the doors. We'll email you the moment you can connect your inbox.
Is my email safe?
Yes. Connection tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, the AI runs on zero-data-retention endpoints, and your email is never stored or used to train models. You can disconnect and delete your account anytime.
Can I pick when the brief arrives?
Yes — choose a morning slot, an afternoon slot, or both, and pick which days of the week, all timezone-aware. You can also hit "send me one now" from the dashboard anytime.
Who is MailBrief for?
Anyone who lives in their inbox for work — founders, managers, freelancers, and ops or account people who get more email than they can keep up with.
