Hey

HEY is an opinionated email service that screens senders first and keeps the inbox focused. The first time someone emails you, you choose whether to let them in; everyone else stays in a screening area you can check when you like. The result is an inbox that contains only people and services you actually want to hear from.

How it works

Inside, HEY organises mail into three simple places: the Imbox for messages that need you, the Feed for newsletters and receipts, and the Paper Trail for things you file away. It includes a built-in calendar, file sharing, and a clean, ad-free reading experience with no tracking.

HEY costs $99 a year, with a free trial. It is a deliberate, opinionated choice for people who are tired of inbox overload and are willing to change how email works for them.
