PostFach - The Inbox Zero Email App Inspired by Mailbox by Dropbox

PostFach is a community-driven, opinionated mail app designed to keep your inbox clean and focused. Archive, delete, or snooze — nothing more. More then all: we want to bring back an email client that is as intuitive as Mailbox was 10 years ago.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Peter, a punk rock dad and indie dev from the Netherlands, and I am building PostFach – a clean, privacy-first mail client inspired by the golden days of Mailbox. 💡 Why PostFach? Like many of you, I was obsessed with the original Mailbox app. The swipe actions. The sense of calm when reaching Inbox Zero. Then Dropbox bought it... and killed it. Since then, everything’s either bloated, SaaSified, or trying to “revolutionize” email. I didn’t want a revolution. I wanted something small, fast, and focused. So I started building it. And I want you to build it with me! ✨ What makes PostFach different? ✅ Built around Inbox Zero – nothing more, nothing less 📬 Thread view per contact – like chatting, but for email 📎 One tab for all your attachments 🔒 No data tracking, no creepy analytics 💸 One-time purchase, no subscriptions, no upsells 🧠 Made for humans, not growth hacks ⚒️ What’s under the hood? PostFach is handcrafted in my spare time (usually after bedtime stories and band rehearsals). It’s not venture-backed, and it never will be. I’m just trying to build something I love and maybe break even someday and if there is a profit - I'll use it to spend time with the kids. 🎯 Who’s it for? Inbox Zero nerds 🧼 Indie software lovers 🛠 People tired of email clients trying to be CRMs 🙃 If that sounds like you, I’d love for you to join the waitlist and help shape the future of PostFach. 👉 Check it out: https://two-trick-pony-nl.github... ❤️ Upvote if you miss Mailbox too. Thanks for reading – and feel free to AMA in the comments! – Peter
