Key Features

• Cold Outreach Follow-Up Sequences – Build multi-step cold email drip sequences (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3) with customizable delays in days and hours for prospects who don’t respond.
• Smart Response Detection & Instant Auto-Stop – The moment a prospect replies, all future scheduled follow-up emails are automatically cancelled so prospects are never spammed after answering.
• AI & Manual Takeover Modes – Choose how to handle replies: Manual Takeover (desktop alert with conversation drawer for direct reply), Autonomous AI Autoresponder (instant smart reply via your LLM), or AI Draft for Review (pre-generated response for 1-click human approval).
• RFC 2822 True In-Thread Email Stacking – Follow-up emails and AI replies carry In-Reply-To and References headers, stacking emails directly inside the same conversation thread in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail for up to 3x higher response rates.
• Native IMAP Inbound Sync – Zero-dependency background inbox watcher connecting via Port 993 (SSL/TLS) to detect inbound replies from outreach prospects in real time.
• CAN-SPAM & GDPR Auto Opt-Out Compliance – Prospects replying with “Stop”, “Unsubscribe”, or “Not interested” are automatically unsubscribed, follow-ups halted, and added to the global Do-Not-Contact compliance blocklist.
• Mid-Campaign Prospect Enrollment – Add new leads to running sequences anytime from CRM lists, Email Contacts, or copy-pasted text with automatic deduplication.
• Multi-Channel Messaging – Manage conversations across WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, TikTok, and SMTP Email from a single desktop app.
• AI Assistant & Auto-Reply – Connect your own AI provider API key (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Mistral, Cohere) to power smart conversational chatbots and auto-replies across all channels.
• Personal CRM – Organize contacts, customer details, company info, notes, tags, and complete interaction timelines.
• Unified Inboxes – Access two-way incoming and outgoing conversations from different channels in one responsive dashboard.
• Scheduled Restart-Proof Campaigns – Queue bulk outreach with human-like randomized throttling delays that survive system restarts.
• Message Templates – Create reusable response templates with dynamic personalization variables ({{name}}, {{first_name}}, {{company}}, {{previous_subject}}).
• Analytics Dashboard – View communication activity, reply rates, sequence progress, and engagement statistics.
• Privacy Focused – 100% local execution; all data and credentials remain encrypted on your own machine.
• Rebrand Ready – Effortlessly customize the application name, logo, icons, colors, and support branding.
