# Privr

> Privr is a fast, privacy-focused email client for macOS. Built with Rust and Tauri, it features end-to-end encryption (E2EE), encrypted local storage, tracker blocking, JMAP and IMAP/SMTP account support, and RSS feeds.

## What is Privr?

Privr is a native macOS desktop email client designed for users who value privacy and speed. Unlike web-based email clients, Privr runs entirely on your Mac with no browser engine — just native performance. All data is stored locally with AES-256 encryption, and no email content ever leaves your device unencrypted. Messages between Privr users are automatically end-to-end encrypted after one email exchange — no setup required. Privr supports modern JMAP accounts, common IMAP/SMTP providers, and RSS-style feeds in one workspace.

## Key Features

- **Native macOS app**: Built with Rust and Tauri for maximum speed. Starts in milliseconds, stays responsive with thousands of emails.
- **End-to-end encryption (E2EE)**: Automatic end-to-end encryption between Privr users. After one email exchange, all subsequent messages are encrypted using Ed25519 and X25519 cryptography. Key exchange happens over email itself — no external servers needed.
- **Encrypted local storage**: All cached emails are stored in an encrypted database (SQLCipher). Credentials are protected in an encrypted vault (IOTA Stronghold with Argon2).
- **Tracker blocking**: Detects and removes tracking pixels from dozens of known services. Cleans tracking parameters from URLs.
- **Phishing & spam analysis**: On-device analysis detects phishing, spoofing, and suspicious attachments. Every email gets a safety score with explanation — no data shared externally.
- **Multi-account & Unified Inbox**: Manage multiple email accounts in one place. View all inboxes combined or switch between accounts.
- **JMAP and IMAP/SMTP accounts**: Uses JMAP (RFC 8620/8621) where available, with IMAP/SMTP presets for common providers and custom servers.
- **RSS, Atom, and JSON Feed subscriptions**: Follow feeds beside email, refresh feeds, mark items read, bookmark items, and customize feed columns.
- **Real-time push notifications**: Instant push notifications with native macOS dock badge.
- **Rich text composer**: Formatting toolbar, auto-saved drafts, reusable templates, multiple sender identities with signatures, and drag-and-drop attachments.
- **Undo send**: 10-second grace period after sending. Cancel a sent email and return to editing.
- **Snooze & Send Later**: Schedule emails to send later, snooze messages to a better time, and mute busy threads.
- **Sieve mail filters**: Create, edit, and manage server-side filter rules directly from the app. Includes vacation autoresponder.
- **One-click unsubscribe**: Automatically detects unsubscribe options and offers one-click unsubscription.
- **CardDAV address book**: Full address book with sync, contact groups, Apple Contacts import, and smart autocomplete.
- **Conversation view**: Emails grouped in conversation threads with chronological history.
- **Keyboard shortcuts**: Native macOS shortcuts for all actions, triage keys for quick sorting, bulk operations.
- **Customizable UI**: Classic and modern layouts, adjustable columns, font size, UI density, dark mode, multilingual interface (Dutch, English, German, French & Spanish).
- **Link safety**: Homograph attack detection and URL mismatch warnings before opening links.
- **Dual content sanitization**: Email content is filtered in two layers for maximum protection against malicious messages.
