What does SaneBox do?
SaneBox is an AI email filter that works inside the inbox you already use: it moves low-priority mail into folders, sends a daily digest and adds reminders, snooze and one-click blocking. Plans start at $5.42/mo billed annually, with a 7-day trial. It suits busy inboxes; skip it if you want a new email app.
- Works with your current email. Connects to Gmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail and any IMAP, Exchange or ActiveSync server; nothing to install.
- SaneLater folder. Moves mail it judges unimportant out of the inbox into a separate folder you check later.
- Daily Digest. A daily summary of unread, lower-priority messages so you can skim or open them.
- SaneBlackHole. Drag a sender into the folder to stop seeing their mail; SaneBox also offers one-click unsubscribe.
- Reminders and SaneNoReplies. Alerts you if nobody replies by a set time and tracks messages awaiting a response.
- Snooze. Snooze holds emails until a chosen time, such as Monday morning; SaneDoNotDisturb is one of the add-on features.
- Deep Clean. Included in every plan for clearing out a cluttered inbox.
- Privacy approach. SaneBox says it reads headers such as sender, subject and date, does not store full emails or attachments, and uses OAuth so you can revoke access.
