New updates and improvements to Talanoa.
Fresh new navigation menu to switch between Inbox, Todo, and Calendar (coming soon). Cleaner, faster, ready for what’s next.
You now have full control over how Talanoa notifies you about new emails:
Configure it your way:
Your inbox, your rules. Find these settings in Preferences.

Tired of clicking “Load images” for contacts you trust? Now you can mark a sender as trusted and their images will load automatically in future emails.
One click, and you’re done. No more repetitive approvals for people you know.

Notes are now a powerhouse! We’ve added everything you need to manage them like a pro:
Your notes are no longer just a place to jot things down - they’re a full productivity system integrated with your email workflow.
We’ve made composing emails faster and smarter:
Composing emails should be effortless. These improvements make it feel that way.
When you send an email, you’ll now see it appear in the thread immediately. No refresh needed, no confusion - just instant feedback that your message was sent.
Deleting emails just got a major UX upgrade:
Fast deletions when you need them, safety net when you don’t. This is how delete should work.
Small improvements, big impact on your daily workflow. This is what we’re here for! 🚀
This is a big one! You can now share Talanoa with the world, and we’re SO excited about what this means for the project.
Why this matters:
Share Talanoa, grow the community, and watch the app get better with every new user. This is how indie products become great - together.
Every email you send from Talanoa now includes a small “Sent via Talanoa” tag below your signature. It’s a subtle way to spread the word and help others discover the app.
Don’t want it? No problem! You can disable it in settings. Your emails, your choice.
Here’s the fun part: Earn points for every referral!
These points aren’t just for show - you’ll be able to use them to unlock:
The more you share, the more you unlock. It’s our way of saying thank you for being part of this journey.
Building in public, growing together. Let’s make Talanoa amazing! 🚀
You can now set your preferred default folder for downloading attachments! No more hunting through your Downloads folder - choose where attachments go and they’ll always land exactly where you want them.
Set it once, forget about it. Your workflow just got a little smoother.
Todo just got a major upgrade! You now have full control over your Todo columns:
Your Todo view, your way. Whether you’re tracking projects, priorities, or custom workflows, you can now build the perfect setup for how you work.
This one’s been highly requested, and we’re SO excited to ship it! You can now fully manage your labels in Talanoa.
What you can do:
No more clutter. No more scrolling through dozens of labels you never use. Just the ones that matter, right where you need them.

Set it and forget it! Create rules to automatically apply labels based on the sender.
Got a newsletter you want to auto-label? Done. Important client emails that need special tagging? Easy. Your inbox organizes itself while you focus on what matters.
This is the kind of feature that saves you hours every week. We’re genuinely excited about how much time this will give back to you.

We’ve updated the sidebar UI! You can now switch between Inbox, Todo, and Calendar (coming soon - we’re working on it! 🔜).
The new design is cleaner and makes it easier to navigate between different views.
We’ve been listening to your feedback, and here are some small but mighty improvements:
Building in public, shipping fast, listening to you. This is what indie hacking is all about! 🚀
Massive productivity boost incoming! You can now create and use pre-registered email templates to save time on repetitive messages.
Whether you’re sending follow-ups, standard responses, or frequently used messages, templates let you compose emails in seconds instead of minutes. Just select your template, customize if needed, and send. Your productivity just got a serious upgrade.
Clean up your email storage for good! The new “Empty Trash” feature lets you permanently delete all emails in your trash folder, freeing up space and keeping your account tidy.
You can now reorder your custom sections! Drag and drop to organize them exactly how you want. Your inbox, your way.
We’ve added a lifetime deal option! Pay once, use forever. No subscriptions, no recurring fees.
