Inboxed vs. Notion Mail
Notion Mail brings Notion's organizational philosophy to email. But like all Notion products, it's cloud-first. Inboxed gives you smart email without the cloud dependency.
| Feature | Notion Mail | Inboxed |
|---|---|---|
| AI Processing | Notion Cloud (OpenAI) | Local LLM (Apple MLX) |
| Privacy | Emails processed in cloud | 100% On-Device |
| Cost | Free tier + paid plans | Free (Pro: $1 lifetime) |
| Offline AI | Requires internet | Full offline AI |
| Platform | Web-first | Native macOS (Rust) |
| Email Providers | Gmail focus | Any IMAP account |
Intelligence without the cloud.
Notion Mail is a natural extension of Notion's ecosystem — but that means your emails flow through Notion's servers and their AI partners. For confidential communications, that's a non-starter.
Inboxed provides the same smart email experience — summaries, categorization, smart replies — powered by a local LLM that never sends data anywhere.
