What is Hiri?
Hiri is an email application designed specifically for Windows that aims to compete with mainstream email services and clients like Gmail, Outlook, and Thunderbird. Its key differentiators are:
- Speed and performance - Hiri is built with C++ for responsiveness. It claims to have fast search, low memory usage, and quick loading times compared to web apps.
- Ad-free interface - No banner ads or sponsored content to clutter the interface.
- Focused inbox features - Tools like send later, reminders, follow-ups, and templates to stay on top of important emails.
- Customizations - Dark mode, themes, customizable swipe actions, signatures, and more ways to personalize Hiri.
- Calendar integration - Built-in calendar with reminders and event tracking from emails.
- Microsoft Office support - Add-ins allow quick access to Office 365 right from Hiri.
On the downside, Hiri is only available for Windows currently. It also lacks more advanced features offered by services like G Suite or Office 365 like online collaboration or email security. But for Windows users wanting a free, simple, ad-free email client, Hiri aims to provide a quality experience and alternative to mainstream options.
Thunderbird, Microsoft Office Outlook, Spark Mail, K-9 Mail, OpenProject, Mailbird, Evolution, Mailspring, eM Client, Outlook.com, FairEmail, Geary, Claws Mail are some alternatives to Hiri.
