@_jacksmith Thanks, Jack! As a product designer, I'm excited other teams are trying to build intelligent and beautiful emails clients and not simply another proprietary platform. Keeps me on my toes and makes the space better for everyone. :)
@_jacksmith @soapko I am in total agreement, being a long time user of @NotionApp myself, I have definitely been able to get more productive by:
1. Focusing on emails that are important (although not a big fan of the design changes in the multi-swipe made in the latest update
2. Leveraging connection details and responsiveness info.
3. Following-up on emails I haven't answered, and
4. Removing FYIs in one tap.
Now these are the features that I enjoy using but I am sure there are multiple others like Alexa integration and smart alerting which I want to use going forward.
I have some data privacy concerns - what do you do to prevent data breaching and so on and so forth?
@orliesaurus Hi, thanks for the great question! See my response to a similar question above. Also, we share our details on our technical security approach and durability at https://notion.ai/trust under Security as well. We aim to be best in class in this area... Feedback welcome!
@guysuter I've read it over a few times. You say that the emails stored are "mine" legally. Does it mean you don't have access to them and that you encrypt them on the client side so that you will never read what I write about idk, "about last night"
@orliesaurus Notion is a cloud service, not a client-side only app. Email content hits our intelligence layer (software in the cloud) so the AI can do things like detect connection strength, analyze reply intent, and measure responsiveness to power features like Radar, smart notifications, our upcoming Alexa skill, etc. Many things wouldn't be possible with a client-side only approach.
The most pertinent part of our Privacy Policy on this topic is in the "Collection, Storage and Use of Private Email Messages" section. We aim to store as little data as practical to deliver features. Specific examples of that are there too.
You can also see open content at blog.notion.ai regarding our approach/actions regarding trustworthiness and privacy concerns. Our commitment is to be tremendously transparent and thoughtful on this subject so people can make their own well informed decisions.
You can remove all data Notion stores at anytime from within Settings in the Notion app. Your email content is stored locally on your device, as well, and it can be removed at anytime by deleting the Notion app.
@vladzima Hope not, we've both been using the name for a while now I think. We could help them think of other ones though if they were so inclined. ;) We actually use Notion.so pretty heavily here at Notion AI in sharing our design specs internally. I highly recommend Notion.so! We adore our "brother from another mother" has they have called us before. Hehe.
Just installed and it already looks super intuitive. I love the advances settings for swipe. Time will tell, obviously, but so far, it feels like an ultimate email app was just found ;) keep it up guys!
@yoavush Thanks so much! We have really sweated the hard stuff to get it right. Like developing multi-swipe to be fluid, intelligent, but also familiar. We're trying to put every ounce of AI into the design & experience in meaningful ways to make it effortless. There are plenty of easier things to do, too; features people want or expect. We'll get to those, too. :)
@joe_blau Yup. It's great to have consistency across mobile and desktop. We're deep in desktop design & dev.
i find the interface too "clear". it s really hard to spot an unread email vs an unread.
@ourielohayon Are you on Android or iOS? Unread emails on iOS have blue bars on the left. Android unread emails are bold.
@ourielohayon We continually refine design elements. I'll keep your feedback in mind. Thanks!
Looks like a great email client. Really cool onboarding that made me think it is a smart service. Except that when I added a second account, the bottom bar used names from the first one 😄
I use Gmail labels and filters heavily, so I'm curious to see how Notion will handle that. Oh and accents are not managed properly, e.g. my contact "Léo" became "Lo".
@the_minh Hey! I'm really sorry for the trouble. Both of these issues will be fixed up soon. ⚡️
@gibberish You may want to sign up for desktop release updates here: http://notion.ai/features/#desktop
@guysuter what about privacy and security? Do the emails touch your servers? Is the analysis done on my phone?
@andrewwarner Great question! We operate with "tremendous transparency" on this point. Notion is a cloud intelligence service. It's the best way to provide some of the experiences we envision. We very carefully consider what information is stored and why. Full details here: https://notion.ai/trust
This is one of the industry topics I am personally most passionate about. Check out some our discussion about trust and privacy on our blog...

Guy Suter just reminded me I've been using this product since day one – even that early version became a daily driver for me, and it's been great to see it grow and evolve. This is the best email client, with the most insightful features.
I've been using Notion for about 6 mo. It's the only app that's successfully replaced Mailbox for me. :-)
@mrahmadawais It's good to be wary. For us, trust is paramount. We cover our approach to security and privacy here: https://notion.ai/trust.
And one of our founders has written an article on the topic here: https://blog.notion.ai/how-we-ai...
@jeffnolan No timeline to announce today but it's definitely something we are working toward.
Love the Swipe to Archive feature for multiple emails at once. Brilliant. Can't wait to see more in the People Tab.
@cemkozinoglu Glad you like it! We had a lot of fun developing multi-swipe and I think it's a great example of how we approach product design.
I've tried so many solutions that promise to solve my email issues and jive with the way I work. All have failed. Definitely giving Notion a shot! Congrats @guysuter!
They just went live, backed by Drive Capital and Accel with $9.5m. Here's @sarahintampa's coverage in TechCrunch.
@rrhoover @sarahintampa Thanks Ryan! Sarah's coverage was a real treat and honor for our team here!
@guysuter @rrhoover @sarahintampa Great story! Reads well with the origin post, stellar writing :) https://blog.notion.ai/why-i-sta...
@guysuter Congrats on launching @NotionApp!
I'm (a week) late to the party, but I am REALLY digging it so far. I'm using it for both work and personal accounts, and this is just what the doctor ordered. I'm an #InboxInfinity kinda guy and have been waiting for an automated cognitive assistant to help determine what's important and/or needs a response.
Now that you've earned all of this media coverage, it's the perfect time for (me to plug) @PressTotem. We have a #Free4Three @ProductHunt special, which means we'll build you a killer press page and throw in 3 free months. /cc @rrhoover @sarahintampa
