Canary Mail is a secure, cross-platform email client with optional AI that connects with your existing email accounts, task tools, and devices without replacing your workflow. This page covers every direct integration, every supported email provider, and every platform where Canary Mail runs - so you can answer "does it fit my stack?" in under a minute.
Quick Answer:
Direct Integrations
Canary Mail currently has two direct third-party integrations: Asana and Todoist. These are the only tools with a built-in connect flow inside the app. Other email providers and platforms listed on this page work with Canary Mail but are not direct integrations.
Asana
Turn emails into Asana tasks without leaving your inbox. Once connected, open any email, tap the more options menu, and create a task directly in your Asana project with a deadline and details already filled in.

Todoist
Convert emails into Todoist tasks in a few taps. Select the project, set a deadline, and save - the email becomes an actionable item inside your Todoist workflow.

To connect either integration: go to Canary Mail Preferences or Settings, click Integrations, select Asana or Todoist, and log in to your account.
Works With Major Email Accounts
Canary Mail is an email client, not an email provider. It works with the email accounts you already have. You keep your existing address and email history - Canary Mail is the app you use to access and manage them.
This includes personal accounts, work accounts, and multiple accounts at once. Canary Mail's unified inbox brings all of them into a single view.

Workflow Compatibility
Calendar Workflow
Canary Mail includes built-in calendar handling. You can view upcoming meetings, check availability, and handle calendar invites directly from the app - without switching to a separate calendar tool.
Apple Ecosystem Workflows
Canary Mail is available on macOS, iPhone, and iPad. If your primary device is a Mac and you use an iPhone, cross-device sync keeps your accounts and supported settings consistent without repeated manual setup.
For Apple users looking for the best setup: Mac Email Client and iPhone Email App.
Outlook Ecosystem Workflows
If your organization runs on Outlook or Exchange, Canary Mail connects to your existing account. You do not need to change your email provider or migrate data.
Cross-Device Sync
Canary Mail supports cross-device sync across macOS, Windows, iPhone, iPad, and Android. Sign into the same Canary Mail account on each device and sync activates automatically for supported data.
