Rahul, the maker of GotEmail, was motivated to create the app due to his own experience with multiple email accounts, including personal Gmail, work Outlook, and iCloud address. He found that no Mac app could combine these inboxes without a monthly subscription or sending his mail through someone else's servers. This led him to build GotEmail, according to Product Hunt. The app is designed to provide a solution for users with multiple email accounts.
GotEmail was first shipped on October 8th as version 0.1, and since then, the team has released 32 updates in 12 days, with most of the updates based on user feedback. The updates include features such as sign-in codes, labels, and shortcuts for Outlook and Microsoft 365, which were added on the third day. The team also added features like Undo send, Send Later, and Snooze, as well as blocking tracking pixels, in the first week.
In the second week, the team added more features, including Contacts, calendar invites, and a Chat view for threads, as well as sync with iPhone. The latest update includes Apple Intelligence on Mac, Translate, and Notes & Templates. The team's fast shipping and responsiveness to user feedback have been key to the app's development. Product Hunt reported that more than 400 people have bought the app so far.
The iPhone app is currently in beta on TestFlight and allows users to take their accounts over from the Mac in one scan. This feature enables seamless integration between the Mac and iPhone apps, making it easy for users to manage their emails across devices. The app is available for a one-time payment, and users can use it on every Mac they own, with a 7-day full refund policy.
