AI email sorter for Microsoft Outlook

Your inbox, sorted by AI that never phones home.

SafeSort AI automatically sorts your Outlook mailbox into folders — using an AI model that runs entirely on your own computer. No cloud required, no accounts with AI providers, and in Private mode not a single email leaves your machine.

Set it up once. It sorts your mail every day.

SafeSort AI works the way you would — it just does it automatically, for every email.

STEP 01

Install and connect

A normal Windows installer, no IT skills needed. SafeSort finds your classic Outlook profile and downloads a local AI model sized to your hardware — from 2 GB to 9 GB.

STEP 02

Pick a preset, or describe your folders

One click sets up the Eisenhower Matrix: four priority folders — Do Now, Plan, Quick Wins, Later — each with pre-written sorting rules. Or describe your own folders in plain English: “Invoices — supplier bills and payment reminders.”

STEP 03

Watch a dry run, then go live

First it only shows where each email would go, with a “Why here?” explanation. When you trust it, switch to live sorting — with one-click undo for any run.

Two speeds. You choose the trade-off.

Private mode is the default and our whole reason to exist. Turbo mode is there when you have five years of backlog to clear.

Default

🔒 Private mode

~15–40 s per email · local AI

The AI model runs on your own CPU or GPU. It sorts quietly in the background while you work — new mail is usually filed before you'd get to it anyway. Zero data leaves your machine.

works offline · no API key · no per-email cost
Optional

⚡ Turbo mode

~2 s per email · cloud AI

Plug in your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key and clear thousands of emails in minutes. Strictly opt-in: the app tells you plainly that in Turbo mode, email text is sent to the provider you chose.

your key, your provider, your choice — switch back anytime

Cloud AI reads your email. This one can't.

Every popular AI inbox tool sends your messages to someone else's servers. That's a problem if your inbox holds client contracts, patient details, or anything under an NDA.

  • The AI model runs on your CPU/GPU — unplug the network and it keeps sorting.
  • GDPR-friendly by architecture: no processing agreement needed, because there is no processor.
  • No telemetry, no analytics, no account. The app talks to the internet only to check for updates.

Built to be trusted with a stranger's inbox.

Yours included. Every design decision assumes your email is irreplaceable.

💬 “Why here?” for every email

Each filed email carries a one-line explanation of the decision, so the AI is never a black box.

↩️ Undo any run

Every sorting run is logged. One click moves everything back exactly where it was.

🧪 Dry-run mode

Preview where emails would go before anything moves. On by default for new setups.

🗑️ Nothing gets deleted

SafeSort only moves emails between your folders. Delete doesn't exist in its vocabulary.

⚙️ Three model sizes

Swift, Balanced, or Precise — pick what fits your hardware. New models arrive as free updates.

🌍 English today, more soon

The interface is English-first, with more languages on the roadmap. The AI already understands emails in dozens of languages.

Simple pricing. Your data stays priceless.

Monthly or annual — both include every feature, every model size, and all updates while subscribed. Both start with the 14-day free trial, no card needed.

Questions, answered.

Which Outlook versions are supported?

Classic Outlook for Windows (Microsoft 365, Outlook 2016 and newer desktop versions). The “New Outlook” app isn't supported yet because Microsoft removed the local integration it relies on — support via Microsoft's cloud API is on our roadmap. If you use New Outlook, you can switch back with the toggle in its top-right corner.

What hardware do I need?

A Windows 10/11 PC with at least 8 GB of RAM. With 8 GB choose the Swift model, 16 GB runs Balanced comfortably, and 32 GB unlocks the Precise model. A modern GPU speeds things up but isn't required.

How fast does it sort?

In Private mode, the local AI takes roughly 15–40 seconds per email depending on your hardware and model size. That sounds slow — but it runs quietly in the background, so new mail is filed within a minute of arriving without you lifting a finger. For clearing a large backlog, optional Turbo mode uses your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key and sorts an email in about 2 seconds.

Do I have to set up folders myself?

No — the built-in Eisenhower Matrix quick start creates four priority-based folders in Outlook (Do Now / Plan / Quick Wins / Later) with pre-written sorting descriptions, so you only pick an AI model and start. You can also keep your existing folder structure and describe it in plain English instead, or combine both.

Is my email really never uploaded?

In Private mode — the default — really. The AI model is downloaded once and then runs on your machine; the app makes no network calls while sorting, which you can verify with any firewall or by unplugging your network cable. Turbo mode is different by design and says so plainly: it sends email text to the AI provider whose API key you supplied. It's off until you turn it on, and one click switches back.

Why does Windows warn me during installation?

Because we're honest about where we are: SafeSort AI is a new product from a small company, and the installer isn't code-signed yet. Until it is, Windows SmartScreen may show a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen when you run it. To continue, click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. So you don't have to take our word for it, every release publishes a SHA-256 checksum on our download server — you can hash the file you downloaded and confirm it matches exactly what we built. Signed builds are on our roadmap; until then, we'd rather explain the warning than pretend it won't appear.

How does billing work?

SafeSort AI is a subscription: $12 a month or $99 a year, and the launch code LAUNCH takes 30% off either — $8.40/month or $69/year. Paying gets you a license key, and renewals happen automatically for as long as you stay subscribed. Cancel anytime — there's nothing to uninstall or return; your key simply expires at the end of the period you've paid for.

What happens when I cancel?

Nothing dramatic. Your license keeps working until the end of the period you've already paid for, plus a short grace period — so a card hiccup never stops your mail being sorted mid-week. After that, sorting pauses but nothing is lost: your emails, folders, settings, and history stay exactly where they are, and the app remains installed. Subscribe again whenever you like and it picks up where it left off.

Do I need to be online for my license to keep working?

Sorting itself never needs the internet — that's the point of SafeSort. For licensing, the app quietly refreshes your key in the background whenever it has a connection, so most people never think about it. And every renewal also sends your current key by email as an offline fallback: if your PC stays offline, paste the key from that email into the app and you're set.

What's your refund policy?

The 14-day free trial exists precisely so you can find out — on your real inbox — whether SafeSort is worth paying for before any money moves. If you buy the annual plan and change your mind anyway, email us within 14 days of the charge for a full refund. On monthly, cancelling is usually simpler than a refund — you keep the rest of your month and are never charged again — but the same 14-day window applies to your first monthly payment.

Can it mis-sort or lose an email?

It can occasionally file something into a different folder than you would — that's why every email carries a “Why here?” explanation and every run can be undone with one click. It can't lose or delete anything: SafeSort only moves emails between your own folders, and protected folders like Sent and Drafts are never touched.

The email sorter Outlook forgot to ship.

Outlook rules can sort email by sender or subject line — but they break the moment a supplier changes their address or a client writes from a new domain. SafeSort AI is an automatic email sorter that reads each message the way you would and organizes your mailbox by meaning: invoices with invoices, client threads with clients, newsletters out of your way.

Whether you call it email sorting, inbox organization, or mailbox cleanup — the result is an Outlook inbox that empties itself into the right folders, on a Windows PC, with your data staying yours.
