Hello Product Hunters!
I’m super excited to be here. Thank you @kwdinc for hunting us!
A little background-
We launched CloudMagic mobile apps around 2 years ago, with the aim of providing the best emailing experience on mobile devices. We take pride in the fact that we are a 4.5 star rated email app on both Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and being used by 3 million users.
Why we built a Mac app-
After iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android, a desktop app was the natural next step. Our mobile users had also started banging our doors for a native Mac app. Moreover, we wanted to provide a consistent user experience across all devices.
CloudMagic for Mac (https://cloudmagic.com/k/mac?ref...) is the most ambitious thing we have ever done, and perhaps the most opinionated email app ever made for the desktop. Here are some of our best features so far:
- We support all types of email accounts, including all versions of Exchange: ActiveSync (EAS), EWS & IMAP
- Handoff: Automatically “hand off” what you’re doing from iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch to Mac.
- Easily manage your emails from Inbox View with one-click actions (Archive, Delete etc)
- Keyboard shortcuts that help you get things done quickly (A - Archive, R- Reply etc)
I’ll be here all day answering your queries.

@rohitnadhani Was not sure how to request the promo code. Assume this is the request)
@nikitakorotaev@rohitnadhani We are giving away promo codes at random to hunters who visit our website through product Hunt. We reserved 25 for Product Hunters. Apple only provides 100 and hence the limit. Let me see if I can get you a promo code :)

@karthiksuroju ditto on the request - I don't see anything on the page
@cohix right there with you. Been quite happy with Polymail so far, but would love the "organise by person" feature of UniboxApp then I could die happy :)
@lassejansen@cohix I took a look at the website but didn't see any support for email tracking, send later, dropbox/grive integration etc? I would definitely use Unibox if I knew those things were available.
Love the design of this, but I prefer email clients that have a list of emails along the left, then when you click on one, the preview of that email appears on the right. This allows me to jump between emails really fast because the list never goes away. It looks like in this UI the inbox list is full-width, then when you click on one the preview takes up the whole screen. Seems like this would add a lot of clicks going back and forth between viewing your inbox and viewing a specific email (Gmail also works like this).
Other than that, solid work!
@jmsuth Thanks! But, don't you think this will help you focus more on the email that you are reading/composing? You can use arrow keys to navigate between email easily.
@karthiksuroju Not really, there's enough screen real estate to focus. I can understand why on smaller devices the paradigm works, but it doesn't make sense to me on larger screens
@jmsuth our philosophy is to keep the experience clean, remove the distractions while reading emails. Once you start using the app, I'm sure our opinions will align :)
@karthiksuroju@jmsuth I think this is fair for reading/writing long emails, but when you want to quickly process a whole bunch of short/irrelevant emails, all the clicking and switching views would be frustrating.
@bellebcooper@jmsuth Our Mac app allows you to act on emails from the inbox view itself. Just hover over an email to take quick actions. You can discard the unwanted emails from the inbox view itself and then 'act' on the important ones. Yes, the important ones are the emails that we 'read'/'write'. By allowing you to focus on what matters the most, our Mac app will make your emailing pleasant. I say, give it a try and decide :)
@romainbarissat@orliesaurus they harvested emails from Slack communities, without the permission of the community mods, and most importantly the users. In my opinion, starting off your product launch with something as dishonest as this is not cool, not cool at all.
So I've been using Cloudmagic for a really long time and love it.
And I actually paid the $20 for it because I do love the iOS versions on my iphone and ipad (and everything is already setup in Cloudmagic anyway).
But unless I am missing it, the Mac version does not have the integrations with Evernote, Asana, and Trello. And if true, then it's really disappointing. And not worth the $20. Please say it isn't so?!
We are seeing some confusion around how our Promo Code give away strategy, let me throw some light on it -
Because of the app store restrictions, we had to have a limit on number of promo codes that we can offer. We saw others on Product Hunt commenting the promo codes and felt it is an unfair advantage for early birds. hence we tried something new -
Hunters who visit the website from our Product Hunt page have a one-in-a-hundred chance of winning an exclusive PH promo code. We have randomized the entire process so that the 1st person is as likely to win as anyone else. Here's what you'll see if Lady Luck smiles on you -

@karthiksuroju Does it ONLY tell you if you've won and say nothing at all if you didn't? That's a bit confusing. You would eliminate much of the confusion if everyone that landed on the page from PH was shown a Win or Lose message accordingly as opposed to only showing WIN messages to those 25 people
@mobilegreg@karthiksuroju Only the ones who win will see the form. We didn't want to show any message to all the others, as we thought it'll not add much value. But, didn't think it would confuse people. Like I said, this is something we tried for the 1st time on PH. We'll keep this in mind if we do something similar next time :)
@karthiksuroju@bvatere Don't understand what the inbox look like. Is there a left side nav? Do you have cards like in the mobile app? Based on the screenshot, it looks like a web app, not a native app
@bvatere The inbox is in the centre with Grey area around. This will allow you to focus on your emails. No, cards are not part of the 1st version of our Mac app. We'll get them on Mac soon.

Gah... I know email is important, but it's crazy how often email apps are at the top of PH... PHers must really love their productivity!
@gratefuldays I'm not that surprised, actually. For me, email on the Mac hasn't been solved yet. Most of the available desktop apps that are widely available (i.e. not Polymail or Nylas N1, which are still testing early versions) are buggy, clunky, or ugly. Since Sparrow was bought out by Google I think the space has been open for something as good and nothing's really filled that spot.
* Update *
Hey Product Hunters!
Just wanted to let you know that we've exhausted the 25 exclusive PH promo codes. Congratulations to the lucky winners! Hope it was a pleasant surprise and we managed to bring a smile on your face :)
We tried something new and hope you've enjoyed it. I've always hated the 'first-come, first-served' policy. Hence we tried to come up with something innovative to even out the odds of winning a promo code. Let us know what you think of our approach. Or please share your ideas, if any, around this.
Cheers!
Rohit, Karthik, Umesh, Vinit,
I am so excited that you released CloudMagic on Mac! Theres something I want to tell to the makers of this app: don't get shaken by some of the negative comments on here. People can be crabby. Although it is good for you to get feedback and ideas - you have the vision - you know your customers better than anyone on this thread. Plus - I have been using CloudMagic on iPhone for a while now and I think that it is a pretty damn good indicator at what the Mac App is like so not having a free trial isn't as big of a deal for me than for others.
Thanks for making such an awesome product!
Take care,
John
