Notion Mail Arrives on iOS with AI-Powered Inbox

Notion has officially launched Notion Mail on iOS, bringing its AI-powered email client to the iPhone months after its Mac debut.

This expansion means Notion users can now access a smarter inbox directly from their phones, seamlessly integrated with Notion Calendar and the core Notion workspace.

Marketed as “the inbox that thinks like you,” Notion Mail uses AI to automatically categorize and prioritize emails based on what matters most to you. Users can train the system to recognize important messages, which the app then sorts and labels for faster navigation. However, there’s a catch: the AI setup still requires the Mac version before it can fully function on mobile – a surprising limitation in today’s mobile-first era.

Beyond its AI capabilities, Notion Mail includes productivity-friendly touches such as customizable swipe gestures for instant archiving and custom inbox views tailored to your workflow. A built-in rich text editor allows for polished email composition, making your messages stand out compared to plain text alternatives.

Notion’s move puts it head-to-head with established email challengers like Spark and Superhuman. Spark leans on collaborative features, while Superhuman courts speed-obsessed professionals with premium pricing and shortcut-heavy design. Notion Mail plays a different card: deep integration with the Notion ecosystem. For users who already plan projects, track tasks, and manage their work inside Notion, linking email directly into that hub is a powerful incentive.

Still, cost remains a sticking point. While the app is free and connects directly to Gmail accounts, the advanced AI tools are limited unless you subscribe to Notion AI’s paid plan. That raises the question of whether the long-term benefits justify the price when free services like Gmail already do the basics well.

For now, Notion Mail’s iOS launch makes the app a far stronger contender for daily use, especially for productivity enthusiasts already tied into Notion’s ecosystem. The app is available worldwide and can be downloaded from the App Store today.
