Avec: Email Inbox Zero Meets Mobile Swipes
9 Apr
Summary
- Avec app uses Tinder-style swipe cards for email management on mobile.
- Voice replies can be recorded and transcribed for drafting emails.
- The app raised $8.4 million in funding from investors like Lightspeed.

A new mobile application named Avec aims to streamline email management, offering a fresh approach to achieving inbox zero. Available initially on iOS, Avec employs a Tinder-style card interface where swiping left postpones an email and swiping right archives it.
The app integrates voice replies, allowing users to speak their responses, which are then transcribed into draft emails for review and sending. This feature, along with its contextual understanding of email tone and personal style, sets Avec apart.
Founded by former Replit engineer Jonathan Unikowski, Avec has garnered $8.4 million in funding from investors like Lightspeed and Haystack. Unikowski believes that email, a system largely unchanged for decades, can be significantly improved through innovative design and AI.
Avec is currently free for Gmail users in the U.S., with Outlook support planned. The company is considering paid tiers for future premium features, signaling a strategic growth plan for the email client.
