> AI email filtering that works inside the email app you already use

SaneBox is a filtering service that connects to an existing email account instead of replacing the email app. It learns which messages matter and moves the rest out of the inbox into folders such as SaneLater, and adds a daily digest, snooze folders, follow-up reminders and blocking of unwanted senders. It works with Gmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail and other IMAP or Exchange accounts, and plans differ by how many accounts and features they cover.

## Key features

- **SaneLater filtering:** Analyzes how you handle email to judge what matters, then moves unimportant messages out of the inbox into a separate SaneLater folder.
- **SaneBlackHole:** Send a sender to the BlackHole and their future messages are kept out of your inbox for good.
- **Daily Digest:** A daily summary of the unimportant, unopened email that was filtered. Digests can also be processed in the iOS and Android companion apps.
- **Snooze and follow-up reminders:** Snooze folders bring a message back to the inbox later, and SaneReminders flags sent emails that have not received a reply.
- **SaneDoNotDisturb:** Holds incoming email during quiet time set aside for focused work and delivers it afterwards.
- **Works with your current email:** Connects to Gmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail, IMAP and Exchange accounts, so its folders show up in whichever email client or device you use.

## Good for

- People who want to keep their current email app and add smarter filtering
- Inboxes crowded with newsletters and notifications
- Anyone who wants a reminder when a sent email gets no reply

## Worth knowing

- There is no free plan; a paid subscription is needed once the free trial ends.
- Snack covers 1 email account and 2 features, and Lunch covers 2 accounts and 6 features. Only Dinner includes everything.
- It is not an email client: the iOS and Android apps are companions for digests, snoozing and blocking senders.
- Prices here are the US App Store's in-app prices. SaneBox's own pricing page can show different figures and also sells a two-year term.
