Emailyst

Your email app already blocks some spam. But a lot of junk still gets into your inbox: ads, newsletters you never asked for, and fake emails pretending to be companies like McAfee or PayPal.

Emailyst finds that junk and moves it out of your inbox for you.

How it works:

• Open Emailyst and pick your inbox.

• It reads each email and puts it into groups, like ads, newsletters, receipts and login codes.

• You look at the groups and choose what to move.

• It moves the junk into a folder. It never deletes anything, and you can put any email back with one click.

Why it's different:

• It works right on your Mac. Your emails are never sent to any company or website, and it even works with the internet turned off.

• You don't make an account or type your email password. It uses the email accounts already in your Mac's Mail app.

• It learns. When you say "keep this one", it remembers and does the same next time.

• It spots fakes. It checks who really sent each email, so emails pretending to be big companies get caught.

• It can keep going by itself and clear out new junk every day.

What you need: a Mac with an Apple chip (M1 or newer) running macOS 26 or newer.

Price: free for your first 1,000 emails in each email account. The full version is $29, paid once forever. No monthly fee.
