Self-hosted alternatives to HEY
HEY is a subscription email and calendar service from 37signals that screens first-time senders and sorts mail into an Imbox, The Feed and Paper Trail. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.
Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features HEY describes on its own site.

HEY-style email client for Gmail, Outlook, IMAP and custom-domain mailboxes, with a built-in AI assistant
- What a HEY user would miss
- It has a single owner login and does not host a hey.com style address, and HEY features such as Speakeasy codes and snippets are not in the source.
- What it adds
- It also connects existing Gmail, Outlook and IMAP accounts in one unified inbox, and its AI assistant uses the owner's own model API key and drafts replies that are sent only after the owner presses Send.
- Yes The Screener for first-time senders. First-time senders wait in the Screener and a decision applies across all connected accounts.
