Midday Email Client Interface
From the Founder

Why build a new email client?

@tdinh_me
Have you noticed that most of your emails aren't from real people anymore? Our inboxes are flooded with automated notifications, newsletters, and promotional noise from companies and services. The way we use email has changed, but the email apps we use haven't. That's why I'm building Midday — a new email client that helps you spend less time in your inbox without missing what really matters. Try Midday today and take back your time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Midday.

Any email provider that supports IMAP can be used with Midday. This includes popular services like Gmail, Fastmail, ProtonMail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, and more. You can connect your account using IMAP credentials or OAuth where supported.
Midday is an email client (using IMAP), so it needs all standard email permissions: read, send, delete, and manage emails.
All your data is stored locally in an encrypted SQLite database on your device. No one has access to your data. The app itself does not send your emails to any external servers. Midday is designed with privacy and security as a top priority.
Midday is a self-hosted NodeJS web app that can be run directly on your desktop or hosted on a private server. While it is not a native app, it provides a smooth and responsive user experience similar to native applications. You can also install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for a more app-like experience.
Midday uses PWA as its mobile app, which provides an equivalent experience to native apps. You can install it directly from your mobile browser (like Safari or Chrome) onto your home screen for easy access. To use Midday on mobile, you have to self-host it on a private server that is accessible from your mobile device (instead of running Midday directly on your desktop).
Yes. Since Midday is self-hosted, you can access it from any device with a web browser. All the devices will share the same data stored on the private server you deployed.
There are a few steps during the initial setup that may require some technical knowledge, such as installing NodeJS or (optionally) setting up a private server. However, we will make everything more streamlined and user-friendly in future releases. Ideally, you can just download and run the app without any technical knowledge.
Midday uses Anthropic API to use the latest Claude model to detect OTP codes and magic links in your emails. You need to bring your own Anthropic API key to use this feature. Midday only sends the email content to Anthropic servers during OTP detection which is activated manually by clicking a button, so your email data is not continuously sent to Anthropic. In future releases, we will make it possible to use local AI models for OTP detection and other AI-related features to further enhance your privacy.
