Description
It’s “you’ll never go back” better
HEY replaces workarounds, messy hacks, and daily frustrations, with built-in workflows, effortless organization, and clever features that levels-up email in meaningful ways.
Screen emails like you screen calls
You screen your calls, so why can't you screen your emails? With HEY, you can. HEY puts you in complete control of who's allowed to email you. Don't want to hear from someone? Screen them out and won’t hear from them again.
Naturally grouped
Inboxes are typically an intertwined mess of new and old messages haphazardly mixed together. Yuck. With HEY, new messages are always grouped together at the top, and previously seen emails are always at the bottom. Neat and orderly by default. No need to wade through the inbox jungle with a machete.
Spread ’em out, read ’em together
Let's say you have 7 unread emails. Why do you have to open one, close one, open one, close one, open one, close one, and so on. It's rediculously inefficient. With HEY, you can open multiple emails at once and just scroll though them, just like you would a newsfeed. It's a revolutionary way to read your emails. You'll never go back to the old way.
Find files without pulling your hair out
If you’re looking for an attachment, why should you have to find an email first? That’s backwards. With HEY, you get an attachment library that gathers up every attachment you’ve ever received in one organized, siftable place.
Just set it aside
Sometimes you get emails you need to reference later - travel info, handy links, numbers you need, etc. With HEY, you can 'Set Aside' any email in a neat little pile for easy access whenever you need it. At hand, but out of your face.
Put receipts in The Paper Trail
Receipts, confirmations, and transactional emails getting in your way? With HEY, you can send those types of emails to The Paper Trail where they'll be out of your way, but easy to find when you need them.
Blocking email spies 24/7/365
Many companies track which emails you open, how often you open them, and even where you were when you opened them. It's a massive invasion of your privacy. HEY blocks these trackers and tells you who's spying on you.
Fix bad subjects without busting threads
If you don’t start the thread, you're often stuck with other people’s generic, non-descriptive email subjects. With HEY, you can rename a subject so it makes sense for you without changing things for the other person.
Add private notes to any email thread
Conversations may start in email, but they may continue somewhere else. Some emails turn into lunches or calls or video conferences. Where do you put the notes from those - especially if they relate to the initial email conversation? With HEY, you can add personal, private notes (and files) to any thread. This way you keep everything related to the conversation on one page, even if it didn't all happen via email.
Notifications you control
HEY push notifications are off by default so your phone doesn’t steal your attention every time an inconsequential email hits your inbox. However, HEY lets you selectively turn them on for specific contacts or threads so you don't miss the things you really care about.
A built-in ‘Reply Later’ workflow
What if you need to reply, but you don't have time right now? With HEY, just click the “Reply Later” button to move an email to a dedicated ‘Reply Later’ pile at the bottom of the screen so you don’t lose or forget it.
Stop heavy senders from dominating your inbox
When you get lots of emails from someone, they can take over your Inbox. With HEY, you can choose to bundle a sender into a single row. This means no matter how many emails they send you, they'll only take up a single row in your Inbox. Clean, controlled, and calm.
Get off threads without having to ask
Stuck on a mega email chain and want off? Good luck asking someone to remove you. With HEY, you can unfollow any thread and replies won’t show up as new emails anymore. Out of your face forever.

Ratings and Reviews
Love, love, love
Look I know this email system won’t be for everyone but boy is it what I’ve been searching for. I read the few negative reviews and while I respect those people to express what they feel, please don’t think the low number of stars are because Hey is bad - it just wasn’t for them. What it is, is different. You get a two week free trial to see how you like it before being required to pay US$99 per annum. If you’re really happy with your current email arrangements then okay maybe stick with that. But if you want more from email or looking for something different then I implore you to give this a try. It’s beautifully designed and works brilliantly. What Hey isn’t is just yet another email client. In my view Hey’s developers have seriously reinvented a better email mousetrap and I for one seriously love it.
A brilliant, life-changing email revolution
HEY is a fundamental rethink of email. It’s the app you don’t know you need, until you try it. Once you do, you’ll never go back.
I’ve tried Fastmail, Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail, and Exchange. I’ve tried self-hosting email using things like Roundcube. I’ve tried ISP-provided email. I’ve tried local and cloud solutions. I’ve tried over-laying apps and services to improve the experience and my productivity.
Nothing has created such a sense of excitement (like I had in the lead up to Gmail’s launch) or challenges such a fundamental rethink of what email could look like or how it could work in the way HEY does.
HEY is a pleasure to use. It sparks joy. It comes with a beautiful, fast, and modern interface that’s both foreign and familiar. Writing and reading email is no longer a dreadful task to be delayed!
In one day, HEY has unseated every clunky hack and email bandaid at my disposal. I wholly encourage you to dive in and give it a try.
Simply fantastic
How email should be. Where the user is the customer, rather than a target for ads. My biggest fear was that the auto-sorting capability wouldn't be come close to, say, Gmail - but it does all I need just fine. So I'm now spending far less time 'just checking' emails - it's ezactly what I need.
I've also found it required far less adjustment than some of the commentary suggested it would - just get in and go!
