Shipping every week.

What changed, by date. Every line is a commit you can find.

  1. 2026-09-17

    Swipe to pin, or to nukeImproved

    Drag a conversation right to nuke it, left to pin it — and the pin lands in the cluster at the top rather than going anywhere. Nothing this gesture does is permanent, which is why it works with a mouse now too.

  2. 2026-09-17

    Search has its own pageImproved

    The search box no longer sits on your inbox taking up room. Press the magnifier, or just press /, and search fills the screen.

  3. 2026-09-17

    Your labels are a menuImproved

    The lane you are reading is named at the top with a chevron; everything else is one tap away instead of a strip you had to scroll.

  4. 2026-09-17

    Arrange your pinned peopleNew

    Drag the tiles at the top of your inbox into the order you want them. Who is pinned follows you to every device; the arrangement is this one's.

  5. 2026-09-17

    Payment requests have a cardImproved

    A request you send through Venmo, Cash App or PayPal now shows as a card with the amount and the note. It carries no link and no handle — nobody can be paid from a message.

  6. 2026-09-17

    The new Soda Road, everywhereNew

    Cameron's design, on the web, the Mac and the phone: one inbox for mail and chat, pinned people at the top, and a conversation that finally looks like one.

  7. 2026-09-17

    Photos, GIFs, stickers, voice and video notesNew

    Everything you can send now draws where you sent it. Hold the round button to record a video message; drag away to throw it out.

  8. 2026-09-17

    Reactions, and a face for one personNew

    React to any message with one tap. Pick a specific face for a specific person and they keep it everywhere — the inbox, the header, every bubble.

  9. 2026-09-17

    Themes and emoji packsNew

    Dress the whole app: ten built-in looks, your own uploads, and packs you can add to your picker — including four hundred emoji from 2008.

  10. 2026-09-17

    Rename and reorder your labelsNew

    Hold a label to rename the lane it files into, or move it. Saved to your account, so the change is there on every device.

  11. 2026-09-17

    Polls you can make from anywhereImproved

    Write a poll on the phone or the Mac, not just the web — with "allow multiple answers" when one choice is not enough.

  12. 2026-09-11

    A first-run tourNew

    Five steps you click through once. Backed by your account, not your browser, so it never comes back on a second device.

  13. 2026-09-11

    An empty inbox is allowed to be emptyImproved

    A brand-new account no longer sees placeholder mail. What it sees is the truth, and a way to change it.

  14. 2026-09-10

    Annual billingNew

    Two months free on a yearly plan, and the credit grant now follows exactly what the invoice collected.

  15. 2026-09-10

    One-time codes on the rowNew

    A verification code arriving at your Soda Road address shows on the inbox row with a Copy button for fifteen minutes.

  16. 2026-09-09

    Import contacts from GoogleNew

    Read-only, asked once, never merges two people and never resurrects a deleted contact.

  17. 2026-09-09

    Reply all, on both inboxesImproved

    The native and Gmail boxes share one recipients table, so reply-all behaves identically wherever the message came from.

  18. 2026-09-09

    Pictures in the body are shownImproved

    Inline images render in place, served only when the bytes really are an image.

  19. 2026-09-09

    Disconnect GmailNew

    Revokes at Google, clears the mailbox, leaves your Soda Road address and native mail standing.

  20. 2026-09-09

    Phone verification and password reset by SMSNew

    Recovery codes are gone. A confirmed number is how you get back in.

  21. 2026-09-08

    Native inbox at your own addressNew

    Receive at you@sodaroad.com through our own MX, with an inbound gate for spam and spoofing.

  22. 2026-09-08

    Claim an address as the front doorNew

    Your address is your account. You no longer need an email somewhere else to start.

  23. 2026-09-07

    Sign in by email linkNew

    A link in your mail signs you in. Google sign-in still works for accounts that already exist.

  24. 2026-09-05

    Channels run deterministic rulesImproved

    Describe a rule in plain words and Soda Road drafts it; from then on it runs the same way on every message.

  25. 2026-08-30

    Agents as chat membersNew

    Put an agent in a chat. It can be asked to send mail on the group's behalf, and the request needs a human approval.

  26. 2026-08-24

    Polls and buttons in chatNew

    Structured actions inside a conversation. Email guests vote by replying with a word.

  27. 2026-08-20

    The email bridgeNew

    Anyone with an email address can take part in a chat from their own inbox.

Take your address.

Free to talk. Your address is the account, and there is nothing to install.
