Avec, a new mobile email app, reimagines inbox management by presenting emails as swipeable cards, similar to dating apps. Users swipe left to defer emails, right to archive, and down to filter less important messages. The app also incorporates voice input and AI-powered drafting, offering a context-aware approach to email replies. Currently available on iPhone in the US, Avec aims to combat inbox fatigue and improve mobile email experiences.
Email apps have spent years trying to make inbox management feel faster, smarter, and less soul-crushing. But Avec seems to have looked at all that and decided the real answer was right in front of us.
Just make the emails behave like a dating app. Avec is a new mobile email app that presents your inbox to you as a stack of swipeable cards instead of the usual list view. While it may sound like a big change, the idea is pretty simple in terms of functionality. Swipe left to deal with an email later, swipe right to mark it done or archive it, and swipe down to throw less important messages into an “unimportant” pile that the app can later group together for easier cleanup.The card-based interface is the headline here, and yes, the Tinder comparison is doing a lot of the marketing work. But Avec is aiming to reduce in-box fatigue on mobile phones, where email usually feels cramped, tedious, and too easy to ignore. The app includes a regular list-based inbox for people who aren’t ready to fully make the jump to a swipe-card style.But this design alone could’ve made Avec into just another quirky email client. Instead, it is also leaning into voice inputs and AI.Avec lets users hold a button to dictate an email reply by voice. And once you stop speaking, the app turns that recording into a draft that you can review, edit, and send. This, according to founder Jonathan Unikowski, gives Avec an edge over separate keyboard-based dictation tools because the app can see the full email context, understand names, and better match tone and writing styles.For now, Avec is only available in the US, and it is exclusive to the iPhone. Though it is free to use for Gmail users. Outlook support is reportedly in the works, and the company says paid tiers will come later. However, what these premium features will offer has yet to be finalized.
