About Emailens
Emailens finds the parts of an email that break in different inbox clients before it is sent. It reads the email source and reports problems, such as unsupported CSS properties or invalid Outlook VML, for 21 clients including Gmail, Outlook Classic and New Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo and Samsung, with fix snippets written for React Email, MJML and Maizzle.
It runs where developers already work: a CLI, a GitHub Actions step, an MCP server for Claude and Cursor, a REST API, a Figma plugin and a Chrome extension. An AI Builder generates emails in React Email, MJML, Maizzle or plain HTML and repairs its own output across the supported clients, and an AI Fix feature turns compatibility warnings into patches.
The core engine is open source and the product is free to start, with Dev and Pro plans that raise the AI Builder allowance. It sits between building and shipping rather than replacing the email framework, and the site also offers free HTML email templates, free developer utilities and a CSS support table for the 21 clients.
