What it does
Extra is an AI-powered email app for people who want a daily view of important messages and next steps. It analyzes email and presents a Today view with items such as needs-action messages, time-sensitive updates, and lower-priority mail. Smart categories organize messages into purpose-specific views, including news, packages, shopping, receipts, and travel.
Users can ask questions about inbox content, dictate text for rewriting and draft replies or follow-up actions. Multiple email accounts are supported. Mac lists Gmail and Outlook; the Apple mobile listing also names iCloud and IMAP support. Mac requires macOS 15.6 or later; iPhone and iPad require version 18.6 or later. Connecting Gmail requires Google OAuth authorization. Downloads are labeled free, but ongoing use and feature entitlements need confirmation. Review original messages and proposed actions before relying on summaries or sending replies.
