Three steps. No plugin, no new inbox.
MailTag works inside the email app you already use. Labels just appear.
MailTag reads each new email and files it as Urgent, Needs reply, FYI, Newsletter, Receipt, Promotion or Notification — as a Gmail label or IMAP folder. You open your inbox and know exactly what to do first.
Connect your mailbox
Paste an app password for Gmail, iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo or any IMAP server. No OAuth screens, no access to your main password.
Pick your categories
Start with the defaults or write your own — each one is just a name and a one-line description.
Let it run
Every 5 minutes MailTag reads new mail and applies a label (Gmail) or keyword/folder (other IMAP). Every decision shows up in your activity log with a confidence score.
Paste an email. Watch it pick.
This is the real classifier running on our servers, with the default categories. Nothing you type is stored.
It doesn't write. It picks.
Most "AI inbox" tools send your email to a chatbot and hope the reply contains a valid label. MailTag uses the OpenJev "semantic if" technique: the model reads the probability of every category you allow in a single forward pass, and the highest one wins.
- Can't hallucinate a label. The output is always one of your categories — there is nothing else it can return.
- Deterministic. Same email, same category. No temperature, no prompt roulette.
- A real confidence score. Every label comes with a probability, not a guess dressed up as certainty.
- Fast and cheap. One forward pass instead of generating text — that's how we can price at $9.
- Open-weight models we host. Your email is never sent to OpenAI, Google or any third-party AI API.
| MailTag (OpenJev) | GPT wrapper | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | One of your categories | Free text, parsed after |
| Invalid labels | Impossible | Happens |
| Same email twice | Same answer | Can differ |
| Confidence | Per-category probability | None |
| Who reads your mail | Our own servers | A third-party AI API |
Route the important stuff where you work.
Attach an outgoing webhook to any category. Send every Urgent email to Slack, every Receipt to your bookkeeping Zap, every Needs reply to your task list.
- Per-category webhooks on every plan — works with Slack, Discord, Zapier, Make and n8n.
- Signed requests. Every delivery carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature in the
X-MailTag-Signatureheader. - Triage API (Pro). Classify any email over HTTP — plug it into Postmark inbound, Cloudflare Email Workers or Mailgun routes.

Built to touch your email as little as possible.
MailTag has one job: add a label. Everything else is locked down.
Encrypted credentials
IMAP app passwords are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We never see or store your main account password.
Content not stored
Email content is processed in memory and discarded. We keep only sender, subject, category and confidence for your 30-day activity log.
Labels only
MailTag never sends email and never deletes email. It only adds labels, keywords or folders.
Revoke in one click
Delete the app password in your provider's settings and our access ends instantly. No support ticket needed.
