Why people switch to Curo
- It does the work, not just the sorting: triage, drafting, and a unified view in one app instead of a filter on top of your old client.
- Every account lives in one place, triaged together, instead of SaneBox running account by account.
- Curo drafts replies in your voice, so the inbox moves forward instead of just looking tidier.
- End-to-end encryption protects your mail, with a teaching loop that gets sharper the more you use it.
SaneBox is excellent if all you want is a reliable filter that quietly sorts your existing inbox into folders. Curo is the better fit if you want an AI that actually reads, prioritizes, drafts, and unifies every account, not just one that tidies the pile.
Questions
Is Curo a replacement for SaneBox or an add-on?
Curo is a full replacement, not an add-on. SaneBox layers folders onto your existing client; Curo is the inbox itself, handling triage, drafting, and a unified view of every account in one place.
Does Curo sort mail into folders like SaneBox does?
Curo goes further than folders. Instead of moving mail into buckets you still have to check, it surfaces only what truly needs you and leaves the rest handled, so there's no second folder to babysit.
Can Curo draft replies? SaneBox doesn't.
Yes. Curo drafts full replies in your own voice, which SaneBox doesn't do at all. SaneBox stops at filtering; Curo carries the email forward to a ready-to-send draft.
Does Curo work across all my email accounts?
Yes. Curo unifies every account into one triaged inbox. SaneBox typically operates per account on top of each client, while Curo reads and prioritizes across all of them together.
