Canary Mail is the mail app you need, security and features in one, wrapped up and delivered to you! There is a lot more you can do with it - everything is systematized, organized and with an easy User Experience!
Hi PH, we're excited to be here again! Special thanks to Kate & Ben, for being very responsive and helpful!
Canary is an exciting new email client for Mac that offers a full set of powerful features with one key difference - your emails are not stored on a 3rd party server.
Every facet of Canary has been designed in accordance with our core philosophy of ensuring complete user privacy and offering reliable & snappy performance. Unlike other apps/services, using Canary is not contingent on providing access to your data.
Over the last couple of months, we’ve worked closely with our amazing group of beta testers to continuously refine & enhance performance and UX to ensure that Canary is a joy to use. For a limited time, Product Hunt users can download and try the beta right away via our website!

@sohelsanghani A quick question, why do when I click archive some mails get archived and some don't ? Maybe because I have over 250+ archived emails or ?
Wowowow. Awesome work, you guys. Was just pulling out my hair a few days ago over the sad state of desktop mail clients, and voila, here you are. As for desktop clients, there are barely any contenders, and even among the best there are too many compromises. In my opinion, Canary nails most of what I want, and it does so with with panache.
On a related note, I think it's silly that so many of the new mail app developers keep B-lining for mobile. Yes, everything is going mobile, but the mobile mail space is already super crowded, and the existing solutions are just fine. Apple's Mail app for iPhone isn't amazing, but it gets the job done, whereas Apple's Mail app for desktop is a buggy monstrosity. If you accept that mobile and desktop will probably merge at some point in the not-too-distant future, it makes sense to penetrate the market from the other angle (desktop), where the competition is small-time at best.
Anyway, great job again, @sohelsanghani and team. Just made this my default mail client.
P.S. The one thing Canary needs is an undo send feature. Super croosh.
@benbelser "Canary nails most of what (you) want, and it does so with with panache" makes for a great tagline 🙃 Glad to have you onboard, Ben! And yes, we're working on undo send.
Great job! I was using Polymail but the bugs added up and became too much of an issue for me. This mail app has been great for me --- no bugs so far, great interface, super fast and all the features I need. Well done!
It is really a wonderful email client. Very fast, responsive and with tracking, auto-theme, attachement view etc. it has some great features. Can't wait to beta test the iOS version!
Looks like a beautiful UI. I'm using Nylas and Polymail right now. Looks like everyone is aiming at the same feature set: read receipts, snooze, send later, etc.
The one thing that isn't talked about a lot but is probably the single most important thing (as I'm realizing) is security.
> How does Canary handle email to be secure? Data at rest / in transit policies, etc.
@desmondduggan2 Thanks Desmond! Canary uses SSL to connect securely to your email provider. The local database on your Mac is also encrypted. And most importantly, we do not ask for or store your credentials, access tokens and/or emails on our server - unlike many other new apps/services.
@steven_barragan1 Hi Steven, Canary is in beta currently, which is free to try. We'll have both free and paid versions when we launch on the App Store!
@sohelsanghani@steven_barragan1 You might want to add that to the site. Honestly the first thing I looked for was "how is this app monetized." For core apps (email, calendar, etc) privacy, data security, and - by extension - monetization strategies are quite important to me.
I'm a big, big fan of Canary Mail but I'm a bit confused as to what it is doing on the featured page of PH. I'm happily running the lastest beta-version 0.6 (123). Is that the official release? And what the heck does '2.0' mean? Has there been a version 1.0 that I have missed completely?
@t55 Hi Ton, we're still in beta! But since the app has been redesigned with a lot of new features since we were first featured on PH in Feb, this post is titled 2.0 (123 is the correct, latest version) 😊
@sohelsanghani Awwwright. That explains the 2.0. Just wondering what'll happen when Canary Mail 0.6 will turn 1.0. A whole lot of Googling I suspect :-)) Version numbers aside I'm looking forward to the Slack'd daily new features extravaganza of Canary Mail for iOS :)
For years I've been reluctant to use a desktop client for no particular reason, but I'm converting now! Everything has been great so far and I'm up and running.
Questions: is there a way to make my Unreads "sticky" at the top? That seems to be my only request at the moment!
Great work.
@dannyfiorentini Hi Danny, thanks for the note! You can preview unread emails by selecting the 'Unread' filter via the top bar. But making them sticky is also a nice idea - we may add that soon :)
@andrealbuq94 For starters, we don't store emails on our server - Canary connects directly to your email provider, which means there's never any downtime on our account. And we already support most IMAP providers.
At first I thought: "Not ANOTHER email client for Mac, how many more are there gonna be!?"
But I must admit you guys have done a great job. A performant native mac application, that's what I want! I won't name any, but there have been a few email clients built on electron, which is basically a chrome wrapper with some native app features, and these apps are just as powerhungry as chrome itself. A No-Go for a simple Mail Client.
I really want to give this a try!
I REALLY want to make this my default mail app, but it's not going to unseat Airmail 2 at this point. Some differences in UI between the two. I like the Canary seems to load the actual message as it would render in Outlook and how that looks to others, but the overall layout and display of Airmail 2 is just easier for me to read. Their sections and contrast is better. Canary is just a bit lacking in contrast and difference between the left bar and the two reading panes. Really great work so far. Looking forward to seeing more!
@texasjuicer not all emails work. I tried some of my startups email and depending on here it is hosted it will not allowed you to (ex : goDaddy website don't) try using a gmail account and it works :)
Have been using this for last couple of weeks and it's already the best Mac email client I've tried (and I've tried a lot!). It seems like a simple thing to get right, but yet so many miss the mark. This is a simple as possible, with all the features I feel I need. Updates roll out very quickly, and the Canary Mail team are very open to suggestions and feedback. Fantastic.
