Premail
Filters your inbox in the background using your own AI key — no Premail account or server.
Premail runs in the menu bar or system tray next to Gmail, Outlook or iCloud in whatever client you already use, classifying incoming mail and archiving, trashing, filing or quarantining it by your rules. It uses your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, or a local Ollama model that keeps everything on your machine — there's no Premail account or server reading your mail in between. Every account starts in Learning mode, showing what it would have done without touching anything, until you trust it enough to flip it to Live.
What holds up
- +No Premail account or server — it talks to your mail provider directly.
- +Learning mode shows what it would do before it touches anything.
- +Free for two personal inboxes, with an allowlist for senders you never want filtered.
Mind the limits
- −Needs your own Anthropic/OpenAI key or a local Ollama setup — not plug-and-play AI.
- −Unlimited custom rules and Reputation Shield need a subscription or Lifetime license.
