Hey

Hey is a modern email service and client designed to rethink how people manage, triage, and respond to email. Its primary purpose is to reduce noise, prioritize important messages, and give users more control over how email reaches and occupies their attention. Built as a complete alternative to traditional inboxes, Hey combines a hosted email service with a carefully structured interface and workflow.

Key features include the Screener, which forces new senders to request access before landing in your inbox, helping eliminate unwanted email at the source. Messages are automatically organized into distinct sections such as the Imbox (for important mail), The Feed (for newsletters and automated updates), and Paper Trail (for receipts and confirmations), making it easier to process different types of email. Built-in reply-later queues, focus modes, and inline note-taking support more deliberate, context-aware communication. Hey also offers powerful search, attachment browsing, and privacy protections, including blocking tracking pixels.
