🆚 Gmail vs Talanoa

Same inbox. Entirely different experience.

Gmail is powerful. But let’s be honest: it wasn’t built for clarity or calm. Talanoa reimagines email from the ground up — with you in control, not the algorithm.

✨ Why People Switch

1. From Chaos to Clarity

Forget 17 labels and 30 unread tabs. Talanoa organizes your emails by who sent them, not what time they arrived. People matter more than timestamps.

2. Inbox = To-Do List

Every message can be turned into an action. With Talanoa, you get a native Kanban board to triage, track, and complete tasks — without switching tools.

3. No More Notification Overload

Social, marketing, and random app alerts? Instantly filter them away. Or better: block them forever.

4. Privacy By Design

Talanoa stores all data locally. Nothing is sent to the cloud. No tracking. No analytics. You’re not the product here.

5. Fast, Light, Delightful

Built with modern tech. Runs like butter on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It’s email that doesn’t feel like a chore.

🤝 But wait, we don’t hate Gmail.

Gmail was revolutionary in 2004. But email needs a new shape for the way we work and live today.
Talanoa doesn’t try to be better at Gmail’s game, it plays a whole new one.
