About HEY
HEY is a hosted email and calendar service from 37signals that rethinks how an inbox works. Instead of letting anyone email you, it asks you to approve new senders first, so only mail from people you want reaches your inbox.
It aims to cut down on spam, long lists of unread messages and manual sorting. It includes a separate calendar app. HEY suits people who want to leave Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo Mail for an opinionated service with its own address and workflow.
Strengths
- Screens first-time senders before they reach the inbox
- Email and calendar from one provider
- Privacy-respecting positioning
Limitations
- Opinionated workflow that differs from traditional email
- Hosted service that requires a paid account
- Closed source
