The shortcuts you know from Gmail work the same, and everything else is one ⌘K away.

Built to be used without a mouse and with VoiceOver.

Why Unico asks for access to Gmail

To show, search, archive, label, draft, and send your mail, Unico asks Google for permission to read and change your Gmail messages, labels, and drafts. The app on your Mac uses that access only to provide the email features you use in it. Unico does not sell your Gmail data or use it for advertising.

Unico does not use Google user data to develop, improve or train generalized or non-personalized AI or ML models, and does not transfer it to anyone for that purpose.

Why we built Unico

We wanted to get through our mail as fast as we can decide what to do with it. The fast email apps we tried charged a monthly price for AI features we rarely used, and made us switch between accounts.

So we built the one we wanted: one Inbox for every account, a key for every command, mail kept on your computer, and AI only when you ask for it, on your own key. And because we use it all day, the details get as much care as the speed.
