UnInbox is an open-source communication platform that reimagines email for teams and professionals. Its README argues that email has changed little since the late 1970s while volume and noise have grown, so it builds a modern layer on top of email rather than trying to replace it. The project lists Hey, Front and Missive as products it is an alternative to.

Features described as native include team collaboration, conversation notes and a new-sender screener. It is built to work with your current email infrastructure or to replace it entirely, and the maintainers say email is only the start of a broader communication infrastructure. A hosted app is live at app.uninbox.com, and the team asks users to join its Discord for updates and feedback.

The stack is TypeScript with Next.js and React for the web app, Hono for the public API, Tailwind CSS and tRPC for type-safe APIs. The repository metadata lists the license as Other, so check the license file for the exact terms. It is positioned as open communication infrastructure that teams can build on.

Key features

  • Shared team conversations over email
  • Conversation notes for collaboration
  • New sender screener
  • Works with existing email infrastructure
  • Public API built with Hono
  • Type-safe tRPC architecture
