Common questions

Does Alrighty read my email?

Your mail is kept and searched on your computer. Alrighty talks to your mail provider directly. When you use an AI feature, such as a question about your mail or a reply draft, the emails it needs go through Alrighty's server to an AI company, Anthropic or Together AI, to write the answer. The privacy policy lists every company that handles what we send.

Which accounts can I add?

iCloud, Gmail and Outlook, including Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live and Microsoft 365 addresses. Other providers aren't supported yet.

Why does Alrighty download a model the first time it opens?

Search by meaning runs on your computer instead of on a server, so it needs a model of its own. It is about 350 MB and downloads once.

Search doesn't find an old message.

Alrighty indexes each account newest first, up to its newest 50,000 messages. Until an account has finished, its server's own search fills in older mail. Trash, Junk and Drafts aren't indexed. See Search your mail.

Can a sender see where I opened their email?

No. Alrighty's server fetches each message's images, so the sender sees our server, not your address. A tracking pixel can still tell them the message was opened.

Can an AI assistant send email as me?

Only if you let it. An assistant writes a draft in a tab you can watch, and you click Send. If you turn on Send without asking in Settings → General, the assistant sends without waiting for you. See Connect an AI assistant.

Is there a version for Windows or Linux?

Yes. Alrighty runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. Download it for your computer.
