Some red flags for me:

* needs email to download

* needs email to start

* spammy email subject with unicode fire in front (lost in HN): " You've been invited to Fig!"

* using trackers in email and app

* macOS only

View on HN

You associate it with spam because spam uses effective subjects. There are a handful of effective subject forms that are used in essentially every email campaign and transactional email, and a sharp drop off to a long tail of subjects that people ignore.
