See your email.
Like never before.
Birdseye is the first email client built from the
ground up for tablets. Birdseye is a finger friendly,
visual overview of your inbox with intuitive actions

The email problem
We are drowning in mail. From overflowing
inboxes to never-ending follow-ups, we
constantly are inundated with messages.
And, like you, we're fed up.
"It seems that most everyone I know wants to quit email."
MG Seigler, TechCrunch
"Email was not designed to be used the way we use it now."

Q: How do you make your inbox manageable?

Birdseye.
Our take on tackling the email problem.
Stream your email
The humble inbox hasn’t changed much since its
inception--until now. Birdseye makes use of the
iPad’s stunning display by rendering full previews
of your email in a beautiful visual stream.
Beautifully designed templates
Email doesn’t have to appear utilitarian.
We’ve designed beautiful templates for various
email formats, optimizing typography and image
presentation to make your emails look amazing.
Do more with actions
Interact with emails directly from your inbox.
Smart actions let you perform tasks specific
to email type. Place a bid on that auction.
Follow someone back on Twitter. Or unsubscribe
from that annoying newsletter.
We're not alone
Great people are doing some great things.
We're excited to be a part of a growing community
of entrepreneurs and organizations working to
change the way we interact with email.
Mailbox
A new entrant to the scene. While
currently only a mobile application,
Mailbox uses gestures to quickly
manage your inbox.
Shortmail
By limiting email message length
to 500 characters and not allowing
attachments, Shortmail is stripping
away the clutter and bringing email
back to the basics.
Inbox Pro
Pursuing a slightly different
approach, Inbox Pro creates
structured communication by
showing the sender statistics
around expected read and reply
time based on the type of message
being sent.
Mail Pilot
A Kickstarter backed project, Mail
Pilot pro turns your email into a
to-do list complete with calendar,
due dates and dropbox integration.
Inky
A client built for the desktop that uses “smart views” to allow emails from important contacts to float to the top, while pushing spam to the bottom of your inbox.
Other Inbox
A customizable form of inbox management, Other Inbox allows the user to add multiple plugins to their existing email accounts to perform specific tasks.
This is just the beginning.
While we think Birdseye is a pretty great starting
point, we realize that tackling an intense problem
like email takes time. And, we need your help to
keep the conversation, and the solution moving.

Developers
Build better email through the semantic web and Open Graph
Web developers everywhere are striving to make the web truly semantic. The Open Graph protocol hopes to achieve this. Many developers are already using Open Graph in web pages for Facebook's platform. This allows unparalleled customizations, interactions, and engagement with your audience regardless of platform or application.
Why not apply this same easy framework to email? We love the idea of publishers taking control and creating custom actions and presentations for their content. Birdseye supports the Open Graph protocol, and we want to see the creative ways developers and publishers and take advantage of it. Check out our developers area to learn more about this.
