Features

Just enough, done right

Board inside Gmail It's not another tab you'll open twice and never again. It lives where you already spend all day.
Value and due date Two fields per deal, and the total per column. Enough to know if the month's going well or so-so.
Private notes “Invoice under the parent company's name.” It lives on the card, not on a sticky note that falls off your monitor.
100% customizable columns Create them, rename them, reorder or delete them. Whether you sell, hire, or manage projects: the board is called whatever you want.
The thread, one click away Every card keeps its conversation. Open the deal and see what you talked about without digging through your inbox.
Built on your labels Columns are Gmail labels. If you ever uninstall, your organization stays right there.

A real CRM

Extremely powerful. And empty.

You import contacts one Sunday and never come back. You copy-paste emails by hand just to “keep a record.” €29 a month for fourteen fields you never fill in. Just another tab that never gets opened.
KanbanMail

Fewer things. You actually use them.

Your customers are already in there: they're your emails. The record is the thread itself, not a copy. Free 100% customizable columns, no settings menu required.

What people say

“I'd been promising myself for two years I'd use a CRM. I started actually using this the same Tuesday I installed it.”

Marta Vidal Independent consultant

“There are three of us selling and nobody knew where each account stood. Now we open Gmail and the whole pipeline is right there.”

JR
Javier Ruano Sales, Estudio Roble

“I don't sell anything, I manage vendors. I renamed the columns and it works just the same.”

FAQ

What people usually ask

What do you do with my emails? The board's columns are Gmail labels, and deal data lives alongside them, in your own account.
Is it free? Free. No hidden Pro plan, no card limit, no credit card required.
What if I uninstall it? Your emails stay labeled the way they were. You lose the board, not the work.
Can I change the columns? They're 100% customizable: create them, name them whatever you want, reorder and delete them. Nothing is fixed.
Does it work for teams? Today it's one board per account. If you share a mailbox, you all see it; otherwise, everyone has their own.
Safari? Firefox? Outlook? Gmail only, on Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. Other inboxes and other browsers, not yet.
How many emails can I add? As many as you want.

Start with the email you still haven't answered

The one you've been staring at since Tuesday. Install it and turn it into a card.
