Narra — Every inbox. One thread.

Head to head

The comparison, plainly

	Narra	Superhuman
Truly unified inbox	✓ One Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Archive, Snoozed, Trash	✗ Switch between accounts
Gmail + Microsoft 365 together	✓ Both providers, one stream	✗ One account at a time
Per-account identity	✓ A color you pick per account; any single account one keystroke away	—
Keyboard-first triage	✓ `j`/`k`, `e`, `#`, `h`, `⌘K` — your muscle memory transfers intact	✓ The gold standard
Where your mail lives	✓ Your own single-tenant Postgres database	Their servers
AI	✓ Bring your own key (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini) — optional	Theirs, bundled
Platforms	Web, native macOS, native iOS	Web, desktop, iOS, Android
Price	Early access — waitlist open	$30/month

To be fair: Superhuman is a great product. It taught the world email could be fast. It just keeps your accounts in silos — and that's the one decision Narra exists to reverse. We built it because we run multiple companies from multiple mailboxes across both providers, and switching tabs isn't a workflow.

Under the hood

Fast by architecture, not adjectives

A server-side sync engine mirrors your mail into Postgres — Gmail API and Microsoft Graph delta queries, plus push webhooks — so navigation and full-text search are instant, never waiting on Google's or Microsoft's servers.

Every action writes back through the providers' own APIs: an archive in Narra isn't "archived in Narra," it's an ordinary archive in your real mailbox. Nothing proprietary, nothing destructive. Leave tomorrow and your mailboxes are exactly as you left them.

Trust, by design

Your mail lives with you — no homework required

Narra is single-tenant: your mail syncs into your own Supabase Postgres project. Yours to query, yours to take with you, never a shared pool — and you use it like an email app, not like a server you administer.

OAuth tokens and AI keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We won't show you fake testimonials; the architecture is built so you never have to take our word for anything.

Already built, not roadmapped

Everything else you'd expect

Triage at typing speed — j/k move, e archive, # trash, h snooze, ⇧U unsubscribe, ⌘K palette, / search across every account at once. Press ? for the full map.

Time control — snooze (presets or custom), send later, undo send (0–30s, your call).

Snippets — templates that expand from a ;shortcut mid-compose.

Contact intelligence — press i for photo, title, company, and your full history with that person.

Renders right — designed emails as authored, plain ones theme-adaptive; inline images; attachments to 25 MB.

Native everywhere — macOS dock unread badge and notifications; a SwiftUI iOS app with swipe triage, AI summaries, and compose.

Optional AI — summaries, drafted replies, rewrites with your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini key, proxied server-side, encrypted at rest. Fully usable without it.

Re: Term sheet — ready to move

Attached the redline. If the board seats work for you, we're prepared to wire by Friday.

Asked and answered

Will Narra mess with my real mailboxes?

No. Every action is a standard Gmail or Microsoft Graph operation, reversible in the real mailbox.

Can I connect mailboxes in tenants I don't own — like a client's Microsoft 365?

Narra signs in through Google's and Microsoft's standard OAuth consent screens, requesting ordinary mail read/write scopes — nothing exotic for an admin to vet. Tenants that restrict third-party apps may need admin consent, same as any mail client.

Won't merging accounts make one giant mess?

That's what the colors are for — and any single account's view is one keystroke away.

Do I need an AI subscription?

No. AI is bring-your-own-key and entirely optional.

Android? Windows?

Web works everywhere today; native apps are macOS and iOS.

What does it cost?

Not public yet — we won't invent a number. Waitlist members hear pricing first and get in first.

Multiple inboxes. One brain.
Something has to give.

You don't have an email problem. You have a switching problem.
