As a person who frequently tries new mail apps for both iOS and macOS, I'm sticking with Spark. I've tried them all and keep coming back. Keep up the good work!

@kkdub I'm actually making the switch back to PC today, and I'm less excited about it now :X
@bauermetal Hope the move went well. It can be rough. Apply liberal amounts of high end beer/liquor/hot chocolate/pizza/ice cream as your preference & as needed. I assume you did so last night (good preparation is the key to success).
@kkdub I would really recommend checking out Hop email. It's free, easy to use, and works on top of your existing email and just enhances it's capabilities
Spark was very good on ios and now it comes to desktop. I just hope there will be no "newtonish" / pro paid switch. But I guess it's inevitable.
one request: if you could use the same Keyboard shortcuts as gmail it would be perfect (eg C to compose vers cmd+N)
nice. side note: now i have 2 sparks app on mac. the other is the desktop client of Devialet
Spark for Mac is such a nice experience that I look forward to getting new mail so I can use more features.
Switching to Android: is there a phone+desktop email client or workflow as smooth as Spark on iOS+Mac? Gmail Inbox is not even close 😔
The iOS app has actually changed my life a little, thank you. I've been able to maintain inbox zero for a while now and it keeps me much more focused.
So I have been using Spark for over a month now, and have to say it is the best email client I have used so far. It is very fast (I was using Airmail before which is annoyingly slow :/ ) and smart inbox feature makes it much easier for me to set priorities and don’t get lost in my inbox.
Reporting back after using it for two weeks, and I'm completely switched over, minus a few emails that I require a template for. For personal email, this thing is a joy. For work email, it just depends what tools you need. We'll see how the features evolve. (I'm hoping for email-tracking, more formatting features, and templates!)
For the first time in my life, I'm actually inbox zero. Imagine that. And I've tried a ton of different email clients, I've been incredibly impressed with the user experience of this one.
I hope to see it evolve though, although I hope pricing isn't a dealbreaker later. 😱
Hi guys,
Thank you all for the interest and comments. We've spent the last 2.5 years working on Spark in order to change the email experience for people with a busy inbox.
Readdle has a proven track record of creating amazing productivity apps that are used by 50 million people (Scanner Pro, PDF Expert, Calendars, Documents), but it was the time to take on a bigger challenge and solve bigger problems in tech. That's why Spark was born.
So what is Spark?
Spark is an intelligent email client that shows you what's important in your inbox. It bubbles emails from real people to the top, and allows you to take batch actions on your newsletters and notifications. We created it for people who live by their inbox and who want to have an amazing experience with email.
Here's how Spark intelligently helps you:
- Smart Inbox lets you quickly see what’s important and batch archive the noise
- Natural language search (i.e. search “email from Alex last week with a PDF”)
- Beautiful and minimalist design
- Amazing Calendar invite cards (this alone is a killer feature. See your schedule while accepting the invite)
- Quick Replies with emotions
- Smart notifications will only notify you about important emails (you can also teach Spark)
If that's not enough to make you switch:
- Spark supports Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro
- It will sync all your settings and snoozes across all your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac)
- iOS App was named one of “Best of the App Store 2015” by Apple.
- Spark for Mac is now "Editors' Choice" on the Mac App Store
The Business Model:
Spark 2.0 is already in the works and will be geared towards Team collaboration around email. Spark will remain free for personal use, but we will charge the teams on recurring basis.
Here's the story behind Spark and why we created it: https://readdle.com/blog/2016/11...
I hope to hear your thoughts and feedback. Please remember that this is version 1.0.
@denzhadanov Love it! Keep up the great work over there at Readdle. Just installed Spark on both my Macs. 😉
@denzhadanov Been a long time user on iOS and a beta user on the Mac. Brilliant app. I wake up to only relevant emails now. Sleep has improved. Needed that. Thank you!
@denzhadanov Great job guys! I have been using Spark on iPhone for a while and liked it a lot. Already installed on my Mac and happy so far :)
@denzhadanov I really enjoy it so far! I have been using Newton for a while and Sparks interface is much more compelling with multiple mailboxes. I think you should consider integrating mail tracking/scheduling :)
@denzhadanov would love to be able to set a default font (even better a default font stack so it matches my signature).
I think the filters need to be improved. I had more noise in my inbox with Spark than with regular ol' Gmail. - 200+ msgs in my inbox with Spark vs 16 in Gmail.
Also one feature I've set up for my gmail that i've found incredibly useful - auto archive unread after 7 days. i figure if i haven't read in 7 days (vacations withstanding), it's not important enough. my inbox stays relatively manageable with that.
@wjuschin I got an email a few days ago to now pay for Pro. All the features in Pro are what makes it unique. Its not that I do not mind paying for Pro but I have been using it since its beta launch on here and I cannot recall every being told I would have to pay for these features down the line. I have got a bunch of people to move to Polymail, all of which had no clue they would get charged for the original features that made polymail different. ehh. Also a lot of the time my mail is not even close to in sync.
@nivo0o0 thanks ! Did you like on boarding with Spark bot chat interface ?
