# Canary Mail

> AI email client with PGP encryption for Mac, iOS, Windows, Android

Canary Mail is an email client for macOS, iOS, Windows and Android that connects to existing Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Exchange and IMAP accounts rather than hosting mail itself. The Free plan covers a unified inbox, snooze, pinning and templates. The paid Growth plan adds an AI Copilot, a calendar and Send Later, and Pro+ adds PGP encryption, SecureSend and phishing protection. Paid plans are sold per user, by the year or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

## Ways to pay less

- **Lifetime licenses for Growth and Pro+** (Lifetime license): Both paid plans can be bought once instead of yearly: $100 for Growth and $300 for Pro+. A lifetime license covers one user on up to 5 devices across all four platforms. Source: https://canarymail.io/pricing

## Key features

- **Unified inbox for every account:** Reads Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo Mail and other IMAP accounts in one inbox. Unlimited mail accounts are included on the Free plan.
- **AI Copilot:** Drafts replies, suggests subject lines, rewrites messages in a chosen tone and summarizes long threads. It is part of Growth, and Canary says email is not used to train AI models.
- **Read receipts, snooze and Send Later:** Lite read receipts, snooze, pinning and templates are free. Full read receipts and Send Later need Growth. A Chrome extension offers read receipts only.
- **PGP encryption and SecureSend:** Pro+ adds PGP end-to-end encryption and SecureSend, which sends password-protected messages that can be set to expire.
- **Phishing and impersonation protection:** Pro+ alerts you to suspicious links and spoofed senders and adds impersonation detection and misdirection prevention.
- **Calendar and scheduling:** Growth includes a built-in calendar with scheduling tools, so meetings are handled in the same app as mail.

## Good for

- One mail app across Mac, iPhone, Windows and Android devices
- People who want PGP-encrypted email without a separate tool
- Buyers who prefer a one-time lifetime license to a subscription

## Worth knowing

- It is a mail client, not a provider: it connects to existing accounts and does not create addresses or host mail.
- Apps are listed for macOS, iOS, Windows and Android only. There is no web or Linux version.
- AI Copilot, the calendar and Send Later need Growth, while PGP, SecureSend and phishing protection need Pro+ at $100 per year.
- There is no monthly billing. Paid plans are yearly or lifetime, bought inside the app, and the Free plan is limited to 2 devices.
