A reply to a price question
A stranger asked on Saturday what a booking app would cost. Jonas's rule drafted a reply with the three questions he always asks first. The rule only drafts, because that's how he wrote it.
An email app with an assistant for your client work
Svanja is an email app for freelancers and small agencies. It keeps the notes and files of each client next to their emails. When you ask, the assistant prepares the reply or looks into the problem, using your notes on that client.
Works with the mailboxes and tools you already use
- Gmail
- Microsoft 365
- GitHub
- Google Drive
- Dropbox
- Notion
- Asana
- Slack
What is waiting for you on a Monday morning?
An example. Jonas is a developer with six clients. When he opens Svanja at 8:40, three things are already done.
A fix for a client's bug
His biggest client reported an empty export on Sunday night, and Jonas's support rule started a task. Svanja ran the failing test on its computer and wrote a fix with the help of the client's notes. A draft pull request and a reply in German are waiting for Jonas.
A comparison he asked for on Friday
On Friday evening he asked for a comparison of three hosting offers for a client. It's in the client's Space now, with sources. Svanja had one question on Saturday, and he answered it from his phone.
What can you do with Svanja?
Is it a good mail app on its own?
Yes. Svanja works with the mailboxes you already have, like Gmail or Microsoft 365, and any other mailbox with IMAP. Your provider keeps your mail, so there is nothing to move.
You can work the whole inbox with the keyboard. Snippets and reminders are built in, and you can leave internal notes for the people you work with.
- Next to each email you see the sender's company and your notes on it
- Writing styles that sound like you
- Search across all your mailboxes
What can I ask the assistant?
You can ask about your mail or a client's notes, and it can search the web. Short questions get an answer right away.
Bigger jobs become a task with a live card in the chat. You keep talking while it works, and you can steer the task in a side chat.
- Pick a Space, and it follows that Space's instructions
- Auto picks the model, or you choose Economical, Standard or Deep
- Big jobs show an estimate in credits before they start
What happens while a task runs?
The task page shows each step, like the files it read and the tests it ran. When it needs you, it asks one question and waits. You can close your laptop and the task keeps going.
The draft sits in the thread and the PDF in the client's folder. You can undo each change it made inside Svanja.
- Stop a task, and everything it started stops
- Save a task that went well as a skill
- Each task shows what it cost
Where do my notes and files live?
In Spaces. You get a personal Space, and each client or project can have its own. Notes are Markdown with links between them, and Svanja keeps every change with the name of the person who made it.
Each Space is also a private Git repository. You can clone it and open it in Obsidian or VS Code.
- Import an Obsidian vault, a folder or a Git repository
- Go back to any earlier version, or undo one change
- Write instructions for the assistant once per Space
Can it start work while I'm away?
Yes, when a rule you wrote says so. A rule says when it runs and what Svanja should do, in your own words. For example, when someone you haven't marked as a client asks what a project costs, the rule can prepare a reply using your note on price questions.
Before you turn a rule on, you can test it on the emails of the last 30 days. A test doesn't write or send anything.
- Rules can start from an email, a schedule, a form or another tool
- Rules that only file and label mail use no credits
- Each rule lists what it may send or change outside Svanja
Why does it need a computer?
For work a chat window can't do. Svanja's cloud computer runs Linux with a terminal and a web browser. It can clone a repository and run the tests, or use a website that has no API.
You can watch the browser live and take over at any time, for example to sign in. Svanja doesn't record the passwords you type.
- The computer sleeps when no task needs it
- Pair your own machine if you prefer
- Computer time costs 1 credit a minute
Who decides what leaves your account?
You do. During a task, Svanja works inside your account without asking. It drafts replies and updates notes and contacts, and you can undo each change.
An email to a client or a change in someone else's system is different. Svanja only does that when one of these is true:
- You asked for it, for example "tell Halden that Thursday works"
- A rule you turned on allows it
- You pressed the button on the one card that asked
It never asks twice for the same thing, and each email it sent shows up in the thread with a note on who allowed it.
Which tools does it work with?
Connect your mailbox first, then the tools where your work happens. Svanja can read what you can read there. It asks before it changes anything, unless your request or a rule says it may.
For a tool without a built-in connection, you can add its API key. Svanja keeps the key, and the scripts it runs never see it. For a website without an API, you can sign in through the browser on Svanja's computer.

Made for the keyboard
The inbox has a shortcut for each action. In the chat, a slash opens your skills and @ finds threads and notes.
History and Trash
Notes and rules keep their history, and deleted items go to Trash first. You can export your whole account at any time.
API, MCP and a command line tool
Use Svanja from Claude Code, Codex or your build server. The
svanja command
line tool also runs a local MCP server.

Questions people ask
Why early access?
New accounts go through a waitlist for now. Sign up, and you get an email when your account is ready.
Do I have to move my email?
No. Your mail stays with your provider, and you can keep using your old mail app next to Svanja.
What are credits?
Credits pay for the assistant and the computer. One credit is worth one euro cent. Each task shows what it cost, and a big job shows an estimate before it starts. Everything else, like mail and notes, uses no credits.
What happens when my credits run out?
Tasks pause and keep what they have done so far. Your mail and your notes keep working, and so do rules without AI. New credits come at the start of the next month. On Pro and Team you can also buy a pack.
Who can see my data?
You, and the people you share a Space or a mailbox with. To answer you, the assistant sends what a task needs to the company that runs the AI model. The privacy policy names each of these companies.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. You can export your whole account at any time, and each Space is a Git repository you can clone.
