How it reads

Email that reads like your chats.

Every person is one chat and every email a message in it. Nothing to sort into folders, no thread to scroll back through.

  1. 1

    Write the way you text

    mwoyo adds the “Dear…”, the subject line and your signature on the way out. Formal or personal is set per person — mwoyo guesses, and you can change it. Your own words go exactly as you wrote them.

  2. 2

    Read just the message

    Incoming email is tidied: greetings, signatures, disclaimers and the quoted history are taken out, and the bubble says what was. The original is one tap away under “View as email”.

  3. 3

    Let the noise file itself

    Newsletters go to Subs, read like a list of headlines. Promotions and junk stay out of your chats, and a sender who uses a fresh address every time is still one chat.

What you get, free

Less to do. Nothing missed.

🛡️ Scams flagged before you tap

mwoyo checks senders and links on the way in. A look-alike like “paypa1-alerts” is called out, and anything doubtful is held back from your chats.

🧾 Receipts that look like receipts

Orders, deliveries, invoices and refunds show the shop, the total, the order number and a Track link, and they all wait in one Purchases list.

📎 “See attached” — with nothing attached

Caught before it goes. Big files go as a download link instead of bouncing, and 2 GB of space comes free.

🔐 Files behind a PIN

Lock an attachment with a 5-digit PIN you share another way — and, if you like, let it open only once.

✍️ Replies drafted in your voice

Tap once for two replies written the way you write. Free for your first two weeks, then 5 a week — or up to 40 a day on Plus.
