Brand newMac & Windows

Pontius Desk — the human side of Pontius

A beautiful native email app for the moments you want to read and reply yourself. Multi-account inbox, real-time notifications, conversation threading, snooze, keyboard shortcuts, drag-and-drop attachments, and one-click unsubscribe. No AI buttons cluttering your view — just email, the way it should feel.

Included in your existing $99 license. No extra purchase. No subscription.

What's in this release

Desk

All your accounts, one inbox

Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, Fastmail, Yahoo, Zoho, or any custom IMAP server. Unified view across every account.

Desk

Real-time inbox

New emails slide in the moment they arrive, with a native macOS or Windows notification. No refresh button needed.

Desk

Conversation threading

Emails group naturally into conversations. Your replies sit alongside the messages you received — full context, in order.

Desk

Snooze emails

Not ready to deal with it? Snooze until later today, tomorrow, next week — or any custom time. Comes back when it should.

Desk

Keyboard-first

Move through your inbox at speed. J/K to navigate, E to archive, R to reply, B to snooze. Familiar and fast.

Desk

One-click unsubscribe

Done with a newsletter? Hit unsubscribe and Pontius handles the rest — properly, no maze of opt-out pages.

Shared

Instant new mail detection

Real-time push under the hood means Desk and the CLI both know about new emails the instant they arrive — no polling delay.

Shared

One config, both tools

Desk and the CLI share the same accounts, aliases, contacts, knowledge base, and CRM. Set up once. Use everywhere.

Desk

Knowledge & CRM in the sidebar

Browse contacts, templates, rules, and the sales pipeline right inside Desk. Reference everything you've built without leaving your inbox.

“Each release makes the knowledge system smarter. Each feature makes your inbox lighter.”

Unlike AI tools that reset to zero every session, Pontius gets better over time.
