Teach your mailbox new tricks

A remote teamworking tool that works with your email inbox and adds new features, like channels, smart threading, voting and guests.

Why do I want this?

Because your team uses email the exact same way it was designed six decades ago, and it's bursting at the seams.

Aether turns your boring old inbox into a powerful tool for communicating with groups, customers, and coworkers that fits your workflows and business processes.

We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, just make the tools you know more powerful.

What does that mean?

Dedicated channels in your email inbox, shared mailboxes and threads, and messages that never get lost in a never-ending email thread.

How does it work?

It creates email addresses for every channel you have. When you email, it goes to everyone who joined that channel. It also processes your emails you send before delivering it to others. This processing is how we provide our unique features.

Seems there's also an app?

Yes, we also have a (really nice) app for advanced/frequent use. All features are available through both.

Aether Pro is a team discussion app that is deeply integrated with email. Every channel on the left side has an email address, and you can create an infinite amount of them at no extra cost.

Posts are threaded, so it remains easy to understand even when there are multiple discussions happening on the same subject.

Aether brings the more important content to the front, so you are required to read much fewer posts. The importance is determined by signals provided by users, two of which are upvotes and downvotes cast by members.

This is how you start a discussion. Creating a post here will send email to people who don't use the app, and a notification to those who have the app open.

The users choose which channels they want to sign up for. When you sign up to a channel, you get discussion in it as emails, or you can view it within the app. Both ways are equivalent in terms of functionality.

'Popular' is a good place to catch up with your team. Most up-voted posts rise up, so you can see most interesting discussions.

Your discussions double as easy-to-search documentation with no additional effort. All posts support Markdown and code highlighting.

User profiles is where you go to find the user's past conversations. This makes finding and linking to older decisions easy.

Easier to understand now, easier to remember later

Aether Pro adds structure to your conversations, and makes them easier to understand. They are better than chat logs because you can refer and link to them later.

Prefer email? Prefer apps? We got you covered.

Aether can work entirely through email, entirely through the apps, or something in between. Our emails are mini-apps, they let you do things normal email cannot do, like issuing commands to vote on replies, creating new channels, or even triggering third-party actions.

Love email? That's great — you'll never have to open the app. For regular users, everything on Aether can be accomplished through mail actions, our email-based command-line UI. For those who prefer the app, everything is available just the same.

Make the most of your time at work

More time in the “zone” means fewer bugs, fewer meetings, fewer revisions. Creating a stand-up thread means you can shorten or cancel your daily stand-up meeting.
