HEY is a
premium email service launched by
Basecamp in June 2020.[1][2][3][4] The service may be accessed through the HEY website and through apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS.[5][6] Due to the service's
vertical integration, a HEY
mailbox cannot be incorporated into other email services or stand-alone
email clients.[7]
Around the time of HEY's launch, a stand-off between Basecamp and
Apple Inc. over Apple's policy on
in-app purchases in apps hosted by its
App Store was the cause of significant media attention upon Apple's policies.[8][9][10][11]
Features
An email from a new sender requires the user to confirm whether they wish to receive emails from that sender, and if not then emails from that sender are never shown again[6]
Blocks
tracking pixels (called a spy tracker in the apps) and informs the user if an email includes tracking[6]
A single place showing all attachments that have been received, regardless of sender[6]
