SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 21, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Today, BuildForever launches Extra, a new email app for iOS and web that organizes your inbox around your life, not around subject lines and folders.
“Email quietly became the operating system of our lives, but the interface never evolved," said Naveen Gavini, CEO of BuildForever and former Chief Product Officer of Pinterest. "Your life runs through email — flights, birthday parties, school updates, appointments, packages — yet you're still expected to do all the work: sorting, searching, triaging, hoping you didn't miss something. Extra changes that. Unlike most email apps, Extra isn’t about replying faster, it’s about knowing what’s going on in your life.”
Built for real people and everyday lives
Extra is designed for the billions of people who use email every day but have often been overlooked by email innovation. Most recent email tools focus on power users and enterprises, adding AI agents, prompts, and workflows to help people get to inbox zero. Extra goes in a different direction entirely. Extra is built for personal email; for the people who open their inbox to check their flight status, track a package, make an appointment, and stay on top of their life.
Your day at a glance, your life organized
Extra puts your life at the center of your inbox, not the other way around.
- Today view: Extra summarizes everything important into a daily, actionable overview that updates in real time so your day is always current.
- Designed around your life: Extra automatically organizes emails into custom categories that represent what matters to you - categories like trips, newsletters, my family, and finances.
- Proactive by design: Extra doesn't just surface what needs action; it's already working before you open the app: drafting replies, flagging events, tracking expenses, and more.
- Talk to your inbox: Extra’s built-in assistant helps you find anything instantly, unsubscribe in seconds, and reply using your voice. Just ask, and Extra helps.
- Designed to feel good: The goal isn't just fewer clicks; Extra is personal, warm and visually beautiful.
“We’ve spent our careers building products for hundreds of millions of people,” said Albert Pereta, co-founder and former Executive Creative Director of Pinterest. “With Extra, we’re not trying to ship another productivity tool or a slightly faster email client. We’re bringing the same craft, empathy, and ambition that defined Pinterest to make email feel magical again.”
