Talanoa turns email threads into conversations with a people-first inbox, Kanban tasks, and calendar. It removes quotes, signatures, and disclaimers so you can read emails like a chat and reply the same way. It includes local AI that lets you search your emails, check your calendar, and write replies in your tone without sending data to the cloud. It supports Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, and any IMAP mailbox. It runs offline so you can read, search, ask AI, and reply without a Wi-Fi connection.
