About Spike

Spike brings your entire workspace into your Inbox: email, chat, calendar, calls, team collaboration, tasks to one modern Inbox. Spikes conversational email fuses traditional email with instant messaging eliminating cluttered email threads. With real-time conversations and live collaboration, Spike allows for better interactions and a more human communication experience.

Spike works on top of your existing email and is available on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows & Web. This gives you a single, unified, and fully functioning workspace for all your and your team's tasks.


Key benefits of Spike

  • Conversational Email: Email headers, signatures, and quoted text are automatically hidden to present conversations in simplified flows, and users can revert to original email formatting with a click.

  • Live Collaboration in Notes & Docs: Create, collaborate and share documents without leaving your Inbox. Use the built-in chat to discuss ideas, leave comments and collaborate with anyone.

  • Tasks & To Dos: Spike makes managing your tasks a breeze. Organize and prioritize your tasks, projects, and even your grocery list. Create, manage, track, set reminders and complete tasks all from your Inbox.

  • Priority Inbox: See important conversations first. Non-priority messages are sorted into a separate inbox to avoid distractions.

  • Real-time Awareness: View when someone in a conversation is typing, and when the recipients have seen their messages.

  • Unified Inbox: Multiple email accounts can be combined in a single inbox, and multiple calendars can also be consolidated into a single screen.

  • Email Triage: Users can send built-in rapid responses or create their own, and access shortcuts by swiping, to archive messages, delete messages in bulk, and more.

  • Customization: Notifications can be customized for each user, allowing for muting threads, setting unique notification sounds for each contact, and switching off notifications for non-priority messages.

  • Team Chat: Group chat within your inbox! No logins, no links, just everyone on the same page, all from your inbox. And the best part is that all you need to join, is your email address.

  • The Fastest, Search. Ever: Stop wasting your time on endless searches. Search all messages, files and contacts instantly, across all your inboxes and cloud storage accounts. Spike’s Super Search is the fastest way to find and attach anything.

  • See Through Walls (or files): Visually preview all attachments without having to download or open files one by one.

    An awesome email client

    Reviewed on 2020/10/13

    Overall - a great app and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

    Overall - a great app and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

    Pros

    The way Spike sorts emails is genius.
    It turned my inbox into a chat-like experience, where emails are grouped by people and not threads/topics - so it actually feels like I'm using a IM and not an outdated email client.

    Cons

    Some of the more advanced features still need some work.
    I'd love to see tagging in notes (so collaboration would be smoother), or the option to add a call link into an invite directly (like in Google Calendar).

    Response from Spike

    We're glad you're enjoying Spike's powerful inbox and conversational email client, Adir. Collaborative Notes are displayed on the right side of the note if you click on the little bubble on the upper part, providing you the name of the user, the time, and what was added by it, hope this is what you are referring to. If you ever need assistance, we're here: [email protected]

    eMail made modern, simple and transparent

    Reviewed on 2020/09/29

    It's a bit of a change of approach, coming from more classical email services, but I'm finding myself drawn more and more to this app, and it has effectively supplanted my use of all other mail clients. I find the message-centred (i.e. like a chat thread) approach enlightening and very efficient. The learning curve has been very shallow (i.e. I've learned a lot / feel comfortable using Spike in a short time) and I'm really enjoying using the App!

    Pros

    + The ease of use - everything is in one place, and it's easy to concentrate on the information in the messages, rather than filtering through quoted text or long emails that duplicate something already on my computer.
    + The modern approach - as much as business is still formal, and we value salutations and signatures, they distract from the message we are sending, and email is being supplanted by chats/blogs/... And Spike embraces this trend without losing the formality (it's just hidden)
    + The semi-automatic email account setup - Spike recognised (in most cases) what kind of email account I had (Gmail, or Exchange, or IMAP) and pre-filled parts of the server data (or eliminated me having to enter it at all) which made setting up accounts a breeze.
    + The incredibly fast customer service - The CS team is really fast (and personable, and friendly and helpful) when I have an issue. And I feel super well-taken-care-of. Not a given in today's fast moving automated world.

    Cons

    There are still a few growing pains, and some features are not fully implemented yet. Some things that aren't working perfectly are the calendar integration, .ics files/invitations, and sometimes Spike won't recognise the email/name I'm typing in to give me reasonable proposals....
    But these are minor details in the great scheme of things, and given the age of the app, there are truly very few bugs or glitches!

    Reviewed on 2023/07/30

    Pros

    I liked the voicemail messages and the text-to-speech. It makes it easy to multitask by having your email read out loud. Or on the other side, being able to record a message instead of typing out the email.

    Cons

    What I least liked about the product was sometimes there was a long delay in my message delivery. There were times when I didn't get the messages at all.
