Command palette
Press ⌘K and type what you want: move, label, switch account or change theme.
Fast email. No subscription.
If you love Superhuman's keyboard flow but not paying for it every month, try zora.
A calm, keyboard-first email client for the Mac that you pay for once.
Your fingers already know it.
zora is built around the keyboard, so the habits you picked up in Superhuman carry over.
Familiar shortcuts
J K to move, E to archive, R to reply. The mouse is always optional.
Search that narrows
⌘F to search, then filter by sender, dates, excluded words or attachments.
Fast, because it's local.
Opens instantly
Mail is cached on your Mac, so the inbox is there the moment you open the app, even offline.
A real Mac app
Native window, menus and notifications. System font, light and dark, nine color themes.
Gmail and more
Gmail with its labels and threads, plus iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo or any IMAP account, in one window.
What zora leaves out.
zora does less, on purpose. Better you know before you switch.
No AI by default
No AI plan to pay for and nothing reading your inbox out of the box. Summaries, suggested replies and writing help are optional: turn them on with your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or leave them off.
No read receipts
zora doesn't track whether people opened your mail, and blocks remote images so others can't track you either.
No snooze or send later
Not yet, anyway. If you live by these, Superhuman may still suit you better, and that's fine.
Pay once. Keep it.
A lifetime license costs about as much as a few months of a premium email subscription. Then it's yours.
No subscription. One payment. Try every feature free for 14 days first, no account needed.
No server in between. zora talks straight to your mail provider. Nobody else receives your mail, including me.
One person, no investors. No growth targets, no upsells, no acquisition email.
Keep the speed. Drop the bill.
Requires macOS 14 or later.
