You’ve set up Focus modes for work and weekends, built Shortcuts for repetitive tasks, and rearranged your Home Screen until everything is perfect. But then your phone buzzes with another notification for a newsletter, shipping update, or sale. Meanwhile, the important email you need to follow up on is buried under everything else. You’ve put thought into how your devices work for you, but are you in charge of your email or is it in charge of you?
SaneBox brings that same attention to detail to your email. Its AI filtering sorts your messages with nothing to install, and since 2010, it has helped people separate the messages that need attention from the ones that can wait.
SaneBox’s SaneLater folder keeps messages that can wait in a dedicated folder, so you can focus on more important things. SaneNews collects newsletters in one place, ready for when you can take a break. And if the same unwanted sender keeps interrupting your day, move one of their messages to SaneBlackHole to keep their future messages out of your inbox.
There are tools for staying on top of ongoing conversations, too. SaneNoReplies collects conversations where you haven’t received a response, so you can follow up. When you need an answer before a deadline, SaneReminders can remind you to check back. You can snooze messages, too, putting something aside until you have time.
SaneBox works with the account and apps you already use. It sorts messages on your mail server, so its folders are available in Apple Mail, Outlook, or whatever other email app you use on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
SaneBox also learns from your email habits, and you can teach it your preferences. If a message belongs somewhere else, move it and SaneBox will use that folder going forward. Plus, the Daily Digest brings together unread messages in your SaneBox folders, so you can review everything when you’re ready to wrap up your day.
Privacy matters, too. SaneBox sorts using message headers, not the contents of your emails, and it doesn’t store full messages or attachments. Its security is reviewed every year as part of Google’s verification process, audited independently by Leviathan Security Group, and tested through HackerOne.
All of that adds up to less time managing email and more time for everything else, which is why more than 100,000 people rely on SaneBox and have given it a 4.9 rating across more than 1,000 reviews.
Best of all, SaneBox fits elegantly into the email system you already know and use. Start a seven-day free trial with no credit card required, and get a $25 credit toward a SaneBox subscription, the equivalent of three months of use.
