How it works
Four levels. One tidy inbox.
Scroll down and watch a scan play out. No grinding required.
Level 1 · The swamp
Your inbox, right now.
Thousands of emails nobody sorted. Receipts buried under promos, newsletters you stopped reading months ago. Scary. Let's fix it.
Level 2 · Tag party
Every email gets a tag.
Jev, TypeSafe's decision model, reads the sender, subject and a short preview, then picks one of 11 colored tags in your language. Receipts and contracts also get Important.
Level 3 · Trash run
Junk goes to the Trash.
Old promos, expired alerts and spam are suggested for deletion. You see the exact count and confirm. Starred mail is never suggested, and the Trash keeps everything for 30 days.
Level 4 · Boss fight
Unsubscribe in one click.
One click when the sender supports it, an email when it doesn't, a link as the last resort. Never for spam. Then the newsletters stop coming. Victory.
Power-ups
Seven power-ups for a tidy inbox.
All unlocked from day one. On as many Gmail and Outlook accounts as you like, with one TypeSafe key for all of them.

Rule zero: nothing happens on its own.
Every action needs your click and shows the exact number of emails first. Starred and flagged mail is never touched.
Privacy
Your mail stays on your computer.
There is no EmailHandler server. The app talks to your mailbox and to Jev directly, with your own sign-in and your own key.
- Sign-ins and your TypeSafe key are encrypted by your operating system (Keychain, DPAPI, libsecret).
- Scan results stay in a local database, one per account. Email bodies are never stored.
- No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. Read the full privacy policy.

Gmail is in beta
While Google reviews the app, Gmail sign-in works for invited testers, and Google shows "Google hasn't verified this app" (click Advanced, then Go to EmailHandler). Outlook and Hotmail work for everyone. Want in with Gmail? Write to me with your Gmail address.
Is EmailHandler free?
Yes. The app is free. To decide what each email is, it uses Jev, TypeSafe's decision model, with your own TypeSafe API key. TypeSafe bills that usage directly; it costs a fraction of a cent per email.
Can EmailHandler change or delete my email without asking?
No. Scans only read and suggest. Tagging, moving to Trash and unsubscribing happen only after you click, and you see the exact number of emails first. Deleted emails go to Trash; only Empty Trash deletes for good, after a confirmation.
Where does my email go?
The app talks directly to Gmail or Outlook with your own sign-in, and to TypeSafe with your own key. There is no EmailHandler server. Results stay on your computer and sign-ins are encrypted by your operating system.
Which email accounts does it work with?
Gmail and Google Workspace, and Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, MSN and Microsoft 365. You can connect several accounts.
Why does my computer warn me when I open EmailHandler?
The app is free and isn't signed with a paid Apple or Microsoft certificate. On macOS open System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway. On Windows click More info, then Run anyway. You do it once.
