Spike Email

Spike Email takes a cue from an app like iMessage or Facebook Messenger, and it brings that same look to email. So many of my emails are short messages (think Slack style), and Spike builds a design that helps make you more efficient. It strips away things like headers, signatures, etc and help you focus on just the content. It also includes a priority inbox to help keep your inbox with just the important stuff, so you can get right to work.

Another unique feature is the Groups feature that Spike offers its users. You can create groups for work departments, sport teams, etc. There is no need to download another app for messaging.

Spike AI

2023 has been the year of AI usage and AI tools after the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. While there are a lot of dedicated AI tools launching across the internet, I believe that the future of AI is being built into your existing tools as a feature. Spike has just launched its new “Magic AI” functionality into its email app that works with its own Spike for Teams email service as well as when you add your iCloud, Gmail, Outlook, etc. to the app.

Despite all the new messaging services, project management tools, and chat-based ecosystems, email remains essential. Signing into iCloud (and email) is one of my first tasks when setting up a new Mac. Signing up for almost any service on the Internet requires an email address, so it’s a universal digital identifier. Even with the popularity of web-based services like Gmail, many still prefer a desktop app to pull in multiple email addresses, use desktop plugins, and have a more native Mac experience. So what’s the best email app for the Mac?

Spike is a streamlined email client that aims to feel more like iMessage instead of a traditional email client. It removes the introductions and signatures to focus just on the actual message. It includes a streamlined user interface along with adding in features like notes with collaboration, tasks, and a built-in calendar. Its latest update added the ability to mark it as the default email app on iOS 14 and iPadOS 14.

I’ve been using Spike as my primary email client since early February, and while it takes a bit to unlearn some of your existing email habits, I find it to be the best email app for my use case. I find myself processing emails faster than I could ever do in a traditional email app. If you haven’t heard of Spike, I highly encourage you to read my review. Today, Spike released a new version of its app with two new additional components of the app: Spike tasks and notes. I’ve been testing these features for the past few weeks, and I am excited that it’s now out for general release.

Email apps have come and gone over the years. It’s a hard business to build something. Company after company has tried to make email work better. In the aftermath of apps like Sparrow and Newton dying, we’ve seen services like Slack and Microsoft Teams spring up to help companies manage internal communications – particularly in the age of hybrid and remote work. Everyone is trying to recreate the base layer technology, but IMAP and SMTP are amazing technologies. What we need to a new vision for email apps, and I’ve found that in Spike.

I’ve been watching the Spike Email app for a few months now. Spike Email takes a cue from apps like iMessage and Facebook Messenger, and it brings that same look to email. So many of my emails are short messages (think Slack style), and Spike features a design that helps you be more efficient. It strips away things like headers, signatures, etc. and helps you focus on just the content. It also includes a priority inbox to help keep it filtered to what’s important, so you can get right to work. Another unique aspect is the Groups feature that Spike offers. You can create groups for work departments, sport teams, etc. There is no need to download another app for messaging. While a lot of the corporate world is looking for things like Microsoft Teams and Slack to reinvent messaging, Spike is building it on top of a platform we already use and now Spike Email has now added a Send Later function to its macOS app.
