Hey Product Hunt 👋

Like most people, my inbox is secretly my to-do list. The problem is every email client shows it as one long pile sorted by date, so Tuesday's important thing gets buried under Thursday's newsletters.

So I built Kanmail: an email client that works like a kanban board. Your email becomes columns: To Do, Waiting, whatever matches how you work. Move everything around with the keyboard and inbox zero is actually possible.

What makes it different:

📥 Works with any IMAP account (Gmail, Fastmail, iCloud…), multiple accounts on one board
🔒 Private by design - mail syncs directly between your device and provider. Tracking pixels blocked, remote images hidden by default
⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts for everything, all customizable
💰 One-time license, no subscription. Free to download and try

I've been building Kanmail over 10 years and it has been my email client nearly as long.

How do you manage your inbox today?

- this approach to managing mail is awesome. Will kick the tyres with the free version for a few weeks, but expect I will be upgrading. And another bonus is it is a lifetime upgrade no subscription.

 - thank you for the kind words, glad you like it! Do let me know if you've any feedback/suggestions to further improve the app :)

ooh, color-coded accounts could save me a brain cramp. always forget which email app belongs to which account. might actually try this if i get sick of my tab overload.

they really do make a difference! Possibly by favorite bit of the app. Let me know how you get on if you get sick of those tabs

- been using for a few days now and enjoying.
