Zero

Zero is an open source email client for people who want control over how their inbox looks, works, and handles their data. It connects to your existing email accounts rather than replacing them, so you keep your address while gaining a client that doesn't track you or monetize your behavior.

Privacy is the core design decision here. Unlike most email apps that run on shared infrastructure with opaque data practices, Zero is built to be self-hosted. Your email stays on your terms. For anyone already thinking about secure email providers or tools like Tuta, Zero sits in a different category: it's a client layer, not a new email provider.

Key capabilities include:

• Account connectivity: Works with your existing email accounts, so there's no migration or address change required.
• Self-hostable: You run it on your own infrastructure, keeping your data off third-party servers.
• Open source codebase: Fully auditable, with no hidden telemetry or proprietary components.
• Customizable interface: Built to let you shape the inbox experience to fit how you actually work.

Zero suits developers, privacy-conscious users, and teams who've grown tired of email clients that treat their inbox as a data source. It's a practical alternative to tools like Inbox Zero or Twake Mail when your priority is owning the stack entirely.

Because it's open source, the interface and behavior can be modified directly. You're not waiting on a vendor to add a feature or remove something you didn't ask for.
