No, Forage connects to your Gmail account and works seamlessly with any mail app that you use to view emails in that account. You can continue using your preferred email app while enjoying Forage's inbox organization and your Daily Forage email.

Forage manages your email directly inside your favorite mail app (like Gmail). It connects to your email account and works in the background to filter emails as they arrive. You can continue checking your email in Gmail, Apple Mail, Superhuman, Spark, or wherever else you check email.

Forage uses AI to sort emails into preset categories. When it determines which category an email should be in, it will apply an Auto Label to the email. It learns your preferences based on feedback you provide. You can also set custom filters to decide how specific senders are handled.

A label is added to every email that Forage categorizes. Based on your filters, the email will then be left in your inbox or moved to a folder. All emails processed by Forage remain searchable from any email app.

Please note: If you set any category to "Move to trash", those emails will be deleted after 30 days when Gmail empties your trash on its own schedule.

There are a few reasons why a labeled email may be kept in your inbox:

You can change all of these settings in your Preferences.

Yes, you can choose when your daily forage is delivered in your daily forage preferences.

Yes, you can choose between Once Daily or Twice Daily summary emails. You can also choose when you'd like these emails to be delivered. You can adjust both of these settings in your daily forage preferences.

Yes! Forage comes with default email categories like Calendar, Events, Transactions, Updates, Promotions, Newsletters, etc. These are designed to keep your inbox organized.

You have full control over how Forage treats these categories. Whether you want emails in these categories delivered directly to your inbox, summarized in your daily summary email, or automatically archived to reduce clutter, Forage lets you customize the experience to fit your needs.

Yes, you can create custom filters for specific senders! In your filters preferences. Click the “NEW” button in that section to create your own filter.

If an email is categorized incorrectly, you can let Forage know in a few ways:

In the auto label preferences, you will find three different treatments that can be applied to your emails.

When you unsubscribe from a sender, Forage will follow the unsubscribe link in the email and complete the unsubscribe action for you.

It is common for senders to not respect your unsubscribe request, so we also add the sender to your Block List. Once on your Block List, all future emails from that sender will go directly to trash.

In some cases where the sender doesn't have an unsubscribe link, Forage will send an email to that sender to request that your email be unsubscribed from their mailing list. This is standard practice for mail clients with unsubscribe features.

When you unsubscribe from a sender, you will also have the option to Archive All emails from them that may still be hanging around in your inbox.

No, Forage will not categorize personal emails that you send to yourself. They will stay in your inbox.

By default Forage does not delete your emails. Emails that are included in your daily forage are archived and moved to a label/folder (not deleted). Archived emails are still searchable in Gmail and visible in folders.

However, there are two scenarios where emails can be deleted:

The Move to trash option does not delete emails immediately. It puts the emails in Gmail's trash folder, where it will be deleted automatically by Gmail after 30 days.
