Buyer questions
How is Canary Mail different from Gmail, Outlook, and other email apps?
Canary Mail is an email client that connects to your existing Gmail or Outlook account—it doesn't replace your email provider. It stands out by using AI to identify important emails, draft replies, and suggest actions to save time. It's also privacy-first with end-to-end encryption, phishing protection, and tracker blocking, with a clean, modern interface available across Mac, iOS, Android, and Windows.
Is Canary Mail HIPAA and GDPR compliant?
Yes, Canary Mail is HIPAA compliant and GDPR compliant. For HIPAA requirements, you can request a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). The app uses a privacy-first approach and does not use your emails to train AI models.

When you download Canary Mail, you get access to all paid features (Growth and Pro+ plans) for 7 days at no cost. No credit card is required and there is no auto-billing. At the end of the trial, you can upgrade to a paid plan or your account moves to the Free plan automatically.
Can I use my own PGP encryption keys with Canary Mail?
