Software Guru Makes Email Fashionable Again

BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest version of Inky®, a free, cloud-enabled desktop email client for Mac and Windows, is now available for download at http://inky.com. "Inky is a completely new take on the traditional email reader. It brings all your email accounts together in one beautiful, uncluttered app. We built Inky from the ground up so we could introduce deep innovation to a market that many thought was done," said Dave Baggett, CEO of Arcode, the company that created Inky. "Inky's 'Smart, Simple, Safe' approach helps users speed through their inboxes and get on with their day."

Dave Baggett enjoys challenging software problems. Prior to Inky, he co-founded flight search company ITA Software, which sold to Google for $730 million in 2011, and was co-creator of the Crash Bandicoot video game franchise.

Inky works with any IMAP or POP email account, and adding them is easy with Inky's automatic account discovery. Users can view all their email accounts in one unified inbox or individually. Inky's intuitive design is simple and elegant, yet robust.

Inky has standard email features like sorting email by day, author, and message size, and Inky introduces something new – sorting your email by personal relevance. Inky's algorithms determine what messages users will want to read, and ranks them first.

In addition, Inky's Smart Views can automatically isolate high volume email – social notifications, newsletters, daily deals – so users can focus on what's important. Users save time without creating complicated filter rules. "Using Smart Views is like having a personal assistant instantly group your email into categories so you can read specific kinds of email, like newsletters, when you want to," said Baggett.

A beta version of Inky was favorably reviewed last year in Lifehacker, Forbes, TechCrunch, and other news outlets. Since then, Inky acquired users in 177 countries whose feedback helped improve the current version.

"Arcode takes privacy seriously. Inky connects to your email providers and processes your mail on your machine. Your email data never passes through Inky's servers," said Baggett. By using a cloud-based platform to store personalized settings but not the email itself, Inky makes it seamless to switch between work, home, and, soon, mobile email. The configuration, customization, and settings stay in sync no matter where users are. "We are testing our iPhone and iPad versions, and developing Linux and Android versions, so that soon you will use one login for all your email accounts on all your devices," he added.
