The honest take

Which tool for which job?

Choose Senticly if…
You want to ask questions about emails you’ve already received — across any mailbox — and you care that the service can’t read your data. Privacy-first, no client switch.
Choose a fast email client if…
Your main goal is processing and replying faster with keyboard-driven speed and AI-assisted writing, and you’re happy to move into a new email app.
Choose an inbox-filtering tool if…
You mainly want to cut noise — auto-sort, snooze and triage incoming mail — rather than query the content of past messages.

See the difference yourself

Connect a mailbox and ask it something only your inbox knows — free to start.
