GlanceMail
GlanceMail
Forward your email to your own @glancemail.com address and get a brand-new inbox: AI kills the junk, summarizes the noise, and puts what deserves your attention up top. Your old inbox stays untouched. You just stop living in it.
Flip the auto-forward switch in Gmail or Outlook once. From that moment, every message you receive lands in your new GlanceMail inbox, organized and safe. That's the whole setup.
Your entire email stream flows into GlanceMail from day one. Spam and scams die, phishing never gets a chance to be clicked, newsletters arrive clean and summarized, and your new inbox shows only what matters. Nothing gets bounced back to your old inbox, so there are no double copies and no forwarding loops. Your address, your accounts, your history: all unchanged.
Once you have it, you can also give you@glancemail.com to newsletters, stores and trials so your real address never spreads further. Nice to have, not required. The protection works either way.
You keep your address. Your old inbox keeps every original as an archive. You just get a far better place to read.
Every signup hands your real address to another list, another data broker, another breach. The important stuff drowns under promotions and tracking pixels. And the dangerous stuff still gets through.
Phishing is the most reported cybercrime in the FBI's internet crime report, and modern spam filters still let convincing fakes land. One click can cost a password, a 2FA code, or a bank account.
More than a quarter of the average working week goes to email. Newsletters are mostly ads. Unsubscribe links half-work or just confirm you're a live target.
The free inbox-cleanup apps make their money selling your purchase data. Alias forwarders relay the junk unfiltered. In-inbox AI acts after the mail has already landed.
"Three people at the same company clicked one phishing email, then typed their Google password and their two-step verification code into a fake login page. The URL wasn't even close to real."
A true story I heard recently, and the moment I decided to build this. Those three people never should have seen that email. A filter that stands in front of the inbox catches it before anyone gets the chance to click.
Three steps, and the third one runs around the clock without you thinking about it.
You get you@glancemail.com. It's your new inbox: same mail, none of the junk, nothing to migrate.
Flip the forwarding switch in Gmail or Outlook. Every message you receive now lands in GlanceMail, and your old inbox keeps its copy as an archive.
Each email is checked for spam and phishing, cleaned of ads and trackers, summarized, and scored for importance before you ever see it. Sensitive mail like login codes skips the AI and lands untouched.
The result: an inbox that shows only what matters. Everything else waits in a searchable archive and a weekly roll-up, one tap away.
Scams and credential-stealing fakes are blocked before they ever reach your eyes, not filed into a folder you still have to clean.
Newsletters arrive clean, and tracking pixels are removed server-side so senders can't tell when you opened.
A tight summary on top of anything worth reading, so you skim your week in minutes instead of an afternoon.
Login codes, receipts, banking and real messages from real people are detected and pinned to the top of your inbox in seconds, without the AI ever touching them.
It actually sends the removal request and confirms it, instead of just hiding the sender from view.
Your newsletters are archived, ad-stripped and summarized into one calm weekly digest and a searchable library you can actually use.
GlanceMail opens as the clean place you read your mail. Next comes one-click Google sign-in so you can reply from your own address without leaving GlanceMail, then search, snooze and sender controls. The plan is simple: a modern mail suite where the AI already did the sorting.
It's a brand-new inbox with HEY's calm, without changing your address. It's SimpleLogin with a brain.
Alias tools give you an address but forward everything blindly. AI assistants connected to your inbox only help when you ask: they can summarize on demand, but they can't stand guard. GlanceMail is active filtering plus a clean place to read. It works on every message, around the clock, before a single one reaches your eyes, and your old inbox keeps every original untouched. That's a position the big providers structurally won't take, because their business is keeping you inside their inbox.

The reason GlanceMail is a paid product is so your mail never has to be the thing being sold. The data-broker inbox apps are free because you are the inventory. This one isn't.
Honest version: your mail is read by machines, only to run your service, never stored longer than needed, and never used to target ads or train models. No agent ever sits inside your real mailbox.
The same address is programmable. An API, signed webhooks, and an MCP server let your agents sign up for services, pull login codes and magic links, and read clean structured summaries, without you handing over your real inbox. This is a separate surface for developers.
# wait for a login code, get clean JSON GET /v1/addresses/you+bot@glancemail.com/otp?wait=30 { "code": "481920", "magic_link": "https://...", "sender": "Acme Login" }
No free tier, because a free address that intercepts all your mail is either a cost I can't sustain or a reason to sell your data, and I won't do the second one. Reserving an address is free and holds your spot. A 30-day money-back guarantee instead of a trial.
Prices are planned and may change before launch. That's part of why I'm gauging interest first.
It locks your @glancemail.com address so nobody else can take it, and it holds your place in line for early access. Reserving is free. When your invite arrives you decide whether to activate it.
Everyone gets a numbered spot in the order they reserve, after the first 451 early invites that are already spoken for. Every friend who reserves through your invite link moves you up 25 spots, and 10 friends puts you in the first invite batch. That's the whole system, no tricks.
No. Your address stays yours. You auto-forward your existing Gmail or Outlook to your GlanceMail address and start reading your mail in GlanceMail instead: same mail, organized and safe, starting with the very next message. And one-click Google sign-in for replying from your own address is coming right after launch, so nothing about how people reach you ever changes.
No. GlanceMail is where you read, not a relay: it never sends your mail back to your old inbox, so there is nothing to duplicate and no loop to create. Your old inbox quietly keeps its original copies as an archive, and Gmail can even auto-archive those so it stays clean.
At launch you read, search, restore and unsubscribe in GlanceMail, and for the occasional reply you pop back to your old inbox, which still holds every original. Right after launch, one-click Google sign-in adds replying from your own address without leaving GlanceMail. That's the path to a full mail suite with the AI doing the sorting.
You can, but that's on-demand: it answers when you ask. It can't do active filtering, so the phishing email still lands, the newsletter ads still load, and the spam still buries the important stuff until you think to ask about it. GlanceMail organizes every message, 24/7, whether or not you're looking.
The AI never takes actions from what an email says. It only labels and summarizes; the real decisions (what lands in your inbox, what gets unsubscribed) are made by strict rules in code, not by the model. Anything sensitive like login codes and banking is detected and delivered untouched, without the AI seeing it. And no agent ever lives inside your old mailbox. GlanceMail only sees what you forward to it.
When it's unsure, the message stays visible in your GlanceMail inbox instead of being archived. Must-deliver mail (2FA codes, receipts, password resets) is pinned to the top automatically. And everything it catches sits in a searchable archive, so a single tap restores a message and tells GlanceMail to always allow that sender. Worst case, your old inbox still has the original.
Yes. Your old inbox keeps every original message untouched, so you can open it any time and everything is still there. Nothing is deleted, nothing is locked in. GlanceMail just becomes the place you actually want to read.
Never. It's a paid product specifically so your mail never has to be sold. No ad targeting, no data brokers, no training models on your mail.
