Private email assistant for Mac

Only the emails that need you.

Postling reads your Gmail on your Mac, quietly files the noise and writes you a short briefing of what actually matters. Your email never leaves your computer.

  • Runs 100% on your Mac
  • No servers, no account
  • Pay once, no subscription

Example briefing

Mute the noise

Most of your email doesn't need you.

Newsletters, receipts, notifications, promotions, login codes. Postling files each one under the right label and takes it out of your inbox, so the few emails that do need you are never buried. Nothing is deleted: it's all a click away.

Labelled and archived. An example day; your labels are your own.

How it works

Set up in ten minutes. Then it just runs.

  1. Connect Gmail

    Sign in with Google in a secure window. Postling never sees your password, and your sign-in is kept in your Mac's Keychain.

  2. Tell it what matters

    Pick your focus areas, such as your children's school, your clients or a job search. Keep the labels and filters you already have.

  3. Read your briefing

    Up to three times a day, in the app or by email. Every item tells you what happened, what's new and what to do by when.

What it does

More than a summary. It organises your mail.

Sorts every email

Each email gets a label and a priority from P0 to P3, using categories you choose.

Keeps only what needs you

Questions for you and things to do stay in the inbox. Everything else is filed away.

Briefings with the whole story

Marked new, updated or pending, with dates, amounts and next steps, so you rarely need to open the email.

Learns when you move an email

Move an email to another label and Postling learns from it. It always shows why it filed something.

Dates go in your calendar

Appointments, deadlines and events from your email land in your Mac's calendar.

Share a briefing

Send your partner just the school and family items, without giving them access to your inbox.

Works with your setup

Keeps your existing labels and filters, and never touches labels it didn't create.

Safe by habit

Login codes are hidden from briefings, and tracking images are blocked when you read an email.

Private by design

Your email stays on your Mac. All of it.

Most AI email tools send your messages to their servers to be read by a model in the cloud. Postling has no servers. The AI runs on your Mac, so there's nothing of yours for anyone to read, sell, leak or train on.

Questions

Good to know

Does my email go to an AI company?

No. Postling uses the AI model built into your Mac, plus a small model it trains on your own mail, on your Mac. Your email goes from Gmail to your Mac and nowhere else.

Which Macs does it run on?

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence turned on.

Does it work with Outlook or iCloud Mail?

Postling starts with Gmail and Google Workspace. Outlook and other email providers are planned; join the beta and tell us which one you use.

What does it change in my Gmail?

It adds its own labels, archives emails that don't need you and marks them read. It never deletes an email and never touches labels it didn't create. Your stars stay where they are.

What if it files something wrongly?

Move the email back to your inbox or to another label, in Gmail or in the app. Postling learns from that, and every decision shows the reason it was made.

Does my Mac have to be on?

Yes, Postling works while your Mac is awake. If it was asleep, it catches up when you open the lid and sends any briefing it missed.

How do I stop using it?

Choose Disconnect in Settings. That revokes Postling's access at Google. Delete the app and its data folder, and nothing remains, because nothing was ever stored anywhere else.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once. Updates for the first year are included, and renewing updates after that is optional.
