HEY Email
HEY is a revolutionary email and calendar service created by 37signals (the team behind Basecamp). It represents a complete rethinking of how email should work, designed from the ground up to protect users' privacy and time.
Unlike traditional email services like Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, HEY introduces a fundamentally different approach to email management. The service puts users in control of who can reach them, automatically organizes messages into meaningful categories, and includes a fully integrated calendar.
