Your mail stays yours
Mailwell is an app on your Mac, not a service in the middle. Your passwords live in the macOS Keychain.
Nothing in between
Mailwell talks straight to Gmail, iCloud, Fastmail or whoever you use. No copy of your mail sits on anyone else’s server.
No sign-up, no tracking
The app doesn’t report what you do. Trying it needs nothing, and buying goes through Polar, for your receipt and license.
AI only if you want it
Off until you turn it on. Then it uses Apple Intelligence or your own key, and sign-in codes are taken out before anything is sent.
Try it for two weeks
Free for 14 days, no card needed. Then buy it and keep it. There’s no subscription.
