File 002 · The Mission
We rejected both bad deals.
Email forces a choice nobody should have to make: keep your inbox and surrender your privacy, or win your privacy and abandon your inbox. We refused to pick. This file is why.

§ 01 · The Two Bad Deals
Pick your poison, they said.
If you care about email today, the market offers you exactly two contracts — read the fine print:
Deal A · “Free”
The convenience deal.
Keep the inbox you’ve used for a decade, the address everyone knows, the search that just works — and pay with your privacy. Your mail is read, profiled, and monetized. Convenience, purchased with your secrets.
Deal B · “Private”
The privacy deal.
Finally get real encryption — and pay by abandoning your address, your archive, your contacts, and most of what made email bearable. Privacy, purchased with your life’s inbox. Then convince your bank, your accountant, and that website from 2012 to update your contact. Good luck.
Keep the inbox you already love. Make it dramatically better to live in. And seal the words that are nobody’s business.
That’s the whole company. You don’t sell your soul either way — all the power, none of the surveillance, zero switching cost.
§ 02 · Product Law
Five promises we don’t break.
These aren’t values-page decoration. They’re the rules the product obeys — if a feature violates one, it doesn’t ship.
You never leave your inbox.
Same address, same archive, same everything. We sit on top of the mailbox you already have — Google, Microsoft or Zoho by a direct sign-in, anything that speaks IMAP from the desktop app. Zero migration, ever.
The everyday is delightful; privacy is built in.
You get a faster, calmer inbox — and the sealing happens without ceremony. Security that demands ceremony gets turned off.
It just works.
One tap. No key management homework, no manuals. If your grandmother can send a birthday card, she can send a sealed one.
We make nothing from reading your mail.
We can’t read it, so we can’t sell it. Our incentives are aligned with yours — that’s why we can offer what the “free” inboxes never will.
Nothing is ever taken away.
Every feature is additive. Using Unlike Mail costs you nothing you had — you keep your inbox, and gain the lock.
§ 03 · The Switch
Sealed mail shouldn’t feel like homework.
The soul of the product is one simple idea: when you write something that’s nobody else’s business — a contract, a health thing, a salary number, a hard conversation — it becomes for-your-eyes-only. From that moment, only you and the person you chose can ever read it. Not your provider. Not us. Not an advertiser, an algorithm, or anyone who breaks into anything. We built it so that we couldn’t read your mail even if someone forced us to — that’s not a setting, it’s the foundation.
The honest trade, said out loud: when mail is sealed, no machine can read it — which means the clever machine tricks step politely aside for exactly those messages. You trade a little convenience for total privacy, only where that trade is obvious. Most products hide this. We print it, every time, because trust is the product.
§ 04 · The Name
Why “Unlike Mail”?
Because every other service is basically the same thing with a different coat of paint. Same broken protocols, same server-side reading, same “we’re secure, trust us.” We looked at the entire category and asked: what if we built something actually unlike it? Something that can’t read your mail. Something that seals on your device. Something that doesn’t ask you to change your address, and costs less than a coffee. The name is a mission statement. (And no, it’s not a typo. We know. That’s the point.)
§ 05 · The Company
Adamanture Private Limited.
A small team building software that respects humans. No 200-person sales org, no growth hacks fed by your data — working software, a clear vision, and real email addresses that real humans read.
Beta, honestly
Unlike Mail is in open beta. Some UI corners are still being polished — they will be. What is not in beta is the cryptography: standardized primitives, a written threat model, and a design where your data is useless without you. Found something weird? Don’t leave a bad review — leave a detailed bug report. We read every single one.
