“I signed up for one webinar, and now forty companies think we're friends.”

Before, and with Rookery

Your inbox. Your guest list.

A first email

BeforeAnyone with your address lands in your inbox, right next to your family.

With RookeryIt waits in New senders until you decide.

Deciding

BeforeYou unsubscribe, set up a filter, and it still gets through.

With RookeryOne tap lets them in. One tap keeps them out for good.

People you know

BeforeEveryone gets the same treatment.

With RookeryAnyone you've written to is let in automatically. Reply to someone waiting and they're in.

The one that matters

BeforeA real first email is buried under the pitches.

With RookeryToday tells you when someone's waiting, so it doesn't sit unseen.

How it works

Three steps.

  1. Turn it on.An owner or admin switches it on in Settings. It's off until you do.
  2. First-timers wait.Their email goes to New senders, not your inbox, and the helpers leave it alone.
  3. Decide once.Allow them, and their mail arrives as normal from then on. Block them, and it stays out for good. Nothing is deleted.

Scout: 2 new senders are waiting. Let them in, or keep them out for good.

What it doesn't do yet

The honest bit

  • In the app it's still called the Screener. The new name is on its way there. Everything else on this page works today.
  • It's made for your own mail. It's one setting for the whole workspace, so if your team shares an inbox with customers, a new customer would wait too.
  • A real person can wait too. That's why Today and your daily brief tell you when someone's at the door.
  • Blocked mail isn't deleted. It stays out of your inbox, and search can still find it.

Questions

Will I miss something important?

Today shows a card when new senders are waiting, and nothing is deleted. Search still finds mail from people waiting or blocked.

Does the sender know?

No. Nothing is sent to them either way.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. Allow someone from the Blocked list, or just write to them: anyone you email is let in.

Who can turn it on?

Owners and admins, in Settings. It's off until you turn it on.

When can I start?

We're inviting a small group first. Request early access and we'll reply personally.
