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.

HEY Email Reviews

Excited to use

me.shahid.me on

Pakistan

I couldn’t have been any happier to respond to emails than I am to have Hey on my phone. Kudos to developers and Godspeed

Cumbersome swipe actions in latest update

Heftyfunseeker on

United States

It’s incredibly slow to swipe emails as seen. What happened?! It often does fully swipe and requires like 3 to 4 swipes to mark something as seen now.

iOS Requirements

nicknamesystemisbad on

United States

Its an email application. There is no reason I can think of to be blocking me from using because I’m not on the latest iOS

Good while it lasted

Kuku for Samin on

United States

Can’t use it anymore because it requires an update to the OS

Are you serious 37s?!

gcallantii on

United States

I know you didn’t force me to update versions, just to pop up some obfuscation banner telling me I HAVE to update iOS versions just to read my email. Right?? What motivation could you possibly have by locking me out of my email on a device that Fapple decided wouldn’t support 17? What could my email possibly “require” that only 17.2 allows?? Please fix. Please don’t force me to drop my longtime sub just so I can use my email without buying another unnecessary phone…

Lacking basic features

StepBroBD on

United States

Cannot add email addresses that use StartTLS, no IMAP/SMTP for HEY domain address.

Don't force iOS updates

Solomon456 on

United States

Don't force iOS updates

Absolutely Love!

JustCathryn on

United States

I freakin’ love this email platform! I don’t use it for work, just personal use & it has been amazing!!! Never going back to “regular” email use again!

No keyboard shortcuts in mobile app for iPad

Tardum on

United States

The iPad app works like the iOS app. Which is fine, except without keyboard shortcuts it’s not very useful. Better to use it in the browser on iPad. The mobile apps have also been buggy lately when taking actions on email (not returning to the previous screen automatically, etc)

Abandoned and disillusioned after years of use

Spam.Sencer on

United States

Update: **Another** year with no significant updates or improvements. The product just has not gotten better at all, and does not justify the recurring subscription. I was on the waitlist and joined Hey when it launched. It was an incredibly promising concept and felt like the refreshing change I needed in email. Unfortunately, there have been almost zero improvements to the service or the app in nearly an entire year (except for an email they sent us all touting some new calendar functionality coming “next year”). The number one biggest issue with Hey is that neither their iOS nor Mac app is native. It’s just a weird wrapper around a webpage with some (bad) keyboard shortcuts mapped to it. Feature discovery is low. It’s difficult to get back and fourth between different views / folders / messages. And, because the apps aren’t native, they don’t do the most basic things you’d expect from a native app, like remembering your scroll position. Part of me wants to be forgiving of this… it’s costly to ship a native product to every platform. But after years, I’d expect significant improvements to the web-based experience so it feels more native, or a jump to native. If they opened up an API, I’d make a native client in heartbeat… Second big issue: search. It’s buggy, unreliable, rarely provides the results you’re looking for, and oftentimes the UI just completely freaks out and suddenly you’ve got no idea what you’re looking at. Again, if this was a native app, maybe this wouldn’t be an issue, but since it’s a webpage inside an app… it’s a mess. Third: The Screener. This was the feature that got me to switch to Hey in the first place! What a great idea! Except that they’ve completely abandoned it, haven’t made a single improvement to it, added any of the tools myself or other customers ask for, and don’t seem to be phased by it’s rigidity and difficulty to use. I enrolled in the Spam Corps program thinking it might improve things… it hasn’t. Then there’s a plethora of little annoyances and issues throughout the app / service that make it almost painful to use. Why is everything just shoved into the “Hey” junk drawer / hamburger menu? I have to scroll through an asinine list to get to my “Clips” (another of their flagship features), which would be super useful… if I didn’t have to dig through endless UI just to get to them. Why can’t I set a specific TIME to “Bubble up” a message? Bizarrely, the only options are today at 6pm… or just pick another day. I could go
