Adjust type, density, badges, dates, and status icons until it feels right.
Encrypted backups protect newsletters, Letterboxxes, rules, highlights, and settings.
Light, dark, e-ink, newspaper, Kitty Cat, and more. Because this is a Mac app.
Your email inbox is built for messages, replies, and triage. Letterboxx is built for essays, digests, roundups, research, and the publications you actually meant to revisit.
How it works
Pick the mail folders that contain the things you want to read. Letterboxx downloads local copies into your Mac reading library, while original messages remain on the mail server unless you delete them.
What changes
Instead of treating every newsletter like another inbox item, Letterboxx turns recurring subscriptions into collections you can read, highlight, search, and keep.

Newsletter Workspace
Choose the mail folders that contain newsletters. Letterboxx downloads local copies to your Mac, leaves originals on the mail server unless you delete them, and turns those newsletters into a searchable, highlightable reading library.
Calmer Reading
Newsletters are essays, analysis, updates, digests, product notes, research, local coverage, and niche publications worth coming back to.
Clean View
Clean View trims trackers, ads, embeds, and messy email HTML so long-form newsletters feel calmer, faster, and easier to finish.
Custom Letterboxxes
Create Letterboxxes for topics like investing, design, local news, research, work, or weekend reading, then keep each one separate from everyday mail.
Auto-Delivery
Auto-Delivery rules send new issues to the right Letterboxx as they arrive, so your reading library stays organized without another cleanup habit.
Highlights + Recall
Highlight useful passages in familiar colors and return to saved ideas later, even after the newsletter has moved out of view.
Message Diagnostics
Inspect sender identity, source details, composition data, and Clean View changes when a newsletter looks strange or deserves a closer look.
Backup
Encrypted backups help preserve newsletters, Letterboxxes, rules, highlights, and settings so your reading history is not fragile.
Connect the email accounts you already use, or use a dedicated newsletter address. Letterboxx gives your favorite reads their own calm, organized home on your Mac.
