Email you pay for once.

Most good Mac email apps now cost something every month, for as long as you use them.
zora is a lifetime license: €99 once, and the app is yours.

Why it can be one payment.

Subscriptions usually pay for servers. zora doesn't have any.

No server in between

zora talks straight to Gmail, iCloud or your IMAP provider. There's no zora cloud to keep running.

No AI bill to pass on

AI features are optional and use your own OpenAI, Anthropic or xAI (Grok) key, so you pay the provider only for what you use.

One person, no investors

No growth targets to hit, so no reason to turn a good app into a monthly fee.

What the one payment gets you.

Gmail done properly

Labels, nested ones included, threads, drafts, spam and trash, the way they work in Gmail.

Any IMAP account

iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo or your own domain, with server settings filled in for common providers.

Keyboard first

A command palette on ⌘K, plus J K to move, E to archive and R to reply.

Fast and offline

Mail is cached on your Mac. It opens instantly and stays readable without a connection.

A calm, native app

System font, native window and menus, light and dark, nine color themes.

Every feature

There's no Pro tier. The trial and the license include the same app.

Fair to say.

So you know exactly what you're buying.

Mac only

One license, for the Mac. There's no iPhone, Windows or web version.

No Exchange yet

Gmail and IMAP only. Outlook and Microsoft 365 accounts can't connect yet.

Future versions

The pricing model may change for future versions, but that never takes away a license you already bought.

Do the math.

€99 is about what a few months of a premium email subscription costs. After that, zora keeps working and you stop paying.

Try it first. Every feature free for 14 days, no account and no card needed.

Keeps working. zora doesn't need a zora server to read or send mail, so it doesn't stop if a payment does.

Taxes included. €99 is the full price, with taxes included where applicable.

One payment. Then just email.

Requires macOS 14 or later.
