Features
What Echelon Inbox does.
Smart auto-archive
Newsletters, receipts, and marketing email can be archived automatically so the important mail stays visible.
Thread summaries
Summarize a long thread in one click and keep the summary for later.
Drafted replies
The AI writes a draft you can edit before sending. It can label, archive, and draft, but only you send.
Custom tags and AI search
Describe a tag in plain language and let the AI apply it, or search your mail by meaning with ai: queries.
Works while your Mac sleeps
Processing runs in the cloud, so your inbox is already sorted when you open the lid.
Keyboard first
Gmail-style shortcuts keep you moving without reaching for the mouse.
Bring your own model
Choose from AI backends including Workers AI, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Ollama, or run your own server.
Gmail stays the source of truth: tags are Gmail labels, drafts are Gmail drafts, and archive is Gmail’s archive.

Made for people like you.
Gmail and Google Workspace users on macOS who want to spend less time managing email.
