Spark has positioned itself as the ultimate email app for iPhone, Android and desktop. Its sleek interface, superior message organization, and intuitive keyboard shortcuts make it an excellent choice for users who want a dedicated email tool.
On mobile, Spark allows users to customize essential functions like snooze, mark unread, delete, and archive. This versatility extends across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. To get started, simply download the app, sign in with an existing email address such as Gmail, and sync your settings across devices. The app ensures offline access by downloading messages to your device.
The desktop version of Spark shines with its comprehensive set of keyboard shortcuts, facilitating fast navigation and actions. Users can browse, reply, forward, and switch between messages without ever touching the mouse. It offers four sets of shortcuts, including those for Apple Mail and Gmail, and users can tailor these to their preferences. The Actions bar enables users to execute any action with a simple press of Enter, making Spark both responsive and user-friendly.
The premium version introduces the Home Screen function, which helps manage email consumption by hiding your inbox until specified times. You can schedule dedicated periods to check your email, with a welcome message and photo displayed outside these intervals. While this feature aims to minimize email distractions, some may find it a bit restrictive.
Spark embraces a modern approach with features like snoozing messages, setting reminders, and scheduling emails. It intelligently prioritizes messages from genuine contacts while filtering out notifications from apps and newsletters. The Priority Emails function highlights important senders and pins crucial messages, while the Gatekeeper feature flags unknown emails, prompting you to accept or reject them. Notifications for this can be adjusted in settings.
Though AI integration in email responses is not yet widespread due to the personalized nature of emails, Spark’s premium AI features allow users to draft replies, adjust message tone, and modify length.
Spark offers three versions: a free option for individuals and students, a premium version for professionals at $59.99 per year, and a team plan at $6.99 per month per user.
