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.

It’s weird: I’m actually excited by an email program

AppleClown on

I echo the comments of some other posters. This is, perhaps, the best email system since Gmail and I have absolutely no problem paying for the service. It takes about a week to get used to the work-flow, but after that, the program is intuitive and customer support has been great whenever I’ve needed anything (only once so far!). They also have handy guides for switching from Gmail and/or other services if you’re worried. Definitely give it a try.

Going offline

pgp on

I canceled my subscription while planning a trip to a location where internet would be spotty when I got there & while traveling. I feel uncomfortable not knowing if I can access emails related to travel on a plane with no internet. I love HEY but I’ve been stung once and now print emails or save as a PDF. But HEY Calendar schedules might also suffer from this. I literally do not want to test and validate that I’ll need internet to see an itinerary or events in general. This isn’t a feature that hasn’t been implemented, it’s a flaw.

Loved until…

spiderlockhart on

I really liked Hey. I found the interface and organization well conceived. Then, somehow, I lost my password. Oh oooh. The bucket of codes I was required to copy at install didn’t, work. Not one. Support seemed indifferent and eventually said they could reimplement but I would be a number of days without email. I guess they don’t get how email is used? So, I contacted all my accounts and contacts that I had moved to Hey returned them to a responsible provider and then just let the subscription expire as they wouldn’t provide refund without original mail which I couldn’t provide because… well, you know. Kind of a small time operation supporting a big time app.

Not Worth Using

LucasNomad on

Hey Mail promises a revolution in email management, but falls short on delivering any real value for the price tag. UX is clunky and cartoonish. Save $$ and stick with a more user-friendly email solution.

I was all in Until…

Myndmelt on

I realized you can’t use existing email accounts. It’s for Hey accounts only. Nice feature set but this isn’t for me.

Be upfront

Kaleo on

Only well after the fact, you are informed that you have to pay $99/year to keep your hey.com email address.

Please bring back the original app icon

ChrisMalcolm on

It doesn’t have to be the default but at least make it an option.

Bring back the old icons.

Hodhoer on

New icon blows hard. Ugly as ****

Interoperability

HMCIV on

What I really want is to be able to use Hey’s email service on my favorite mail App. I hate being locked in.

Major win for email!

JenBarsotti on

Hey cut my email processing time by huge amounts — 60+ minutes a day in my email before I switched to Hey, down to 10 minutes or less in total in a day (often even less)! It’s really that revolutionary. Not sure how. Not much seems to have changed in the grand scheme of things, I guess, but man oh man how my email processing just FLOWS so quickly and easily and stress-free now! My sincere thanks goes out to the entire Hey team for their vision and effort! Solid work.
