Changelog
Every feature, fix, and improvement. Pontius gets better with each release.
Version 2.0.0 — Pontius Desk
May 2026
The biggest release since launch. Pontius Desk arrives — a native email app for Mac and Windows — alongside major upgrades across the CLI. Both included in your existing license.
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
All your accounts, one inbox
Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, Fastmail, Yahoo, Zoho, or any custom IMAP server. Unified view across every account.
Real-time inbox
New emails slide in the moment they arrive, with a native macOS or Windows notification. No refresh button needed.
Conversation threading
Emails group naturally into conversations. Your replies sit alongside the messages you received — full context, in order.
Snooze emails
Not ready to deal with it? Snooze until later today, tomorrow, next week — or any custom time. Comes back when it should.
Keyboard-first
Move through your inbox at speed. J/K to navigate, E to archive, R to reply, B to snooze. Familiar and fast.
One-click unsubscribe
Done with a newsletter? Hit unsubscribe and Pontius handles the rest — properly, no maze of opt-out pages.
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.
One config, both tools
Desk and the CLI share the same accounts, aliases, contacts, knowledge base, and CRM. Set up once. Use everywhere.
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.
