scailer··on An artificial satellite for your project
Hello community! We are working on a cloud software for team management. It brings new time-centric concept and flexible task lists. All around time. You always know team progress, and how each team member spends every hour. Task lists can be used for managing sprints, group tasks by categories and many other things. The software is methodology-agnostic. Sounds interesting? Good news - it is simple. We have implemented bug tracking, automate time tracking, timesheet, invoicing features. Everything should be easy to use. It is free for any use and limited only by storage size (2GB). It is enough to manage a couple of big projects or several small projects. No features limitations. We have raised funding that allows us to offer our product to several thousand customers for free. Please try it if you look for something like that. We look for feedback from real customers. P.S. We actively working on it. New features coming soon! P.P.S. The software is able to create project plans for software developers. Just describe what you want in the task description field and click "Breakdown task with AI".

We could not reproduce the issue with our test installations of dovecot. Could you send us the configuration file of your dovecot to support@scailer.com?

hello moeffju, we have released an update of the program to allow user names for SMTP. Thank you.

Thank you, we will recheck Scaler with this version of dovecot, fix the potential issue, and let you know when it works.

Scailer should not work in the background until you change the option "Minimize Scailer on close" in the Settings -> General settings (do not forget to save settings). By background we mean working without a window. Also, Windows suspends running applications when you put the computer into sleep mode. You have full control of background work. High power utilization may be related to the initial downloading of a large number of messages from your email account. Later Windows should recalculate these statistics.

Thank you for the good words), we are glad that Scailer is working significantly faster for you than other email clients. We tested Scailer with email accounts with 500,000 - 1,000,000 email messages, and it works fast. Due to this Scailer has no option for limiting the count of messages to download. Yes, it may be a bit unusual that Scaler does not require customization, creation of folders and manual control. The application should automatically sort messages by contacts and robots and save user's time. Users can control where messages are displayed: in “Contacts mail”, “Promo and robots” or only in messages of a particular contact.

Thank you for the reporting. We will update IMAP/SMTP settings to accept usernames within a few days. What email provider do you use?
scailer··on Call for testers of a new email client that sorts messages by contacts
Yeah, that is because emails are generally longer than typical chat messages. If you try to display a series of replies directly as a chat it will look poor. Scailer resolves that problem. We created a unique algorithm that transforms a series of replies to a sequence of related well-readable posts about the subject.

Thank you for the comment. For security reasons Scailer does not store oauth2 keys server-side and never will be. We will add information about this on the website.

We have not tested the work of the application directly from DMG. Probably this is the reason why it says that the trial period is expired. Try to copy it in Applications.

Scailer connects to scailerservice.azurewebsites.net to check for updates. This is Scailer service for updates hosted on Microsoft Azure. And also Scailer connects to scailerservice.azurewebsites.net to get avatars of contacts. Users can turn off connection for avatars on the welcome screen or in preferences.

What version of dovecot do you use? Is this your installation or mail provider?

Thank you for your comment. Scailer is an application that is created to solve exactly the same problem you are saying about. Scailer distinguishes human emails from Robot emails but at the same time displays some categories of emails from robots as important (bills, urgent notifications, etc)

Thank you very much for your feedback! Automatic groups are a key concept of Scailer and a thing (along with other features) that makes Scailer more easy-to-use than a ordinary email client. We will investigate a better solution and apply it to the one of next builds! Please enjoy using Scailer and provide more feedback to our email address support@scailer.com. Also if you have questions. If your trial expires, let us know and we will give you unlimited access to the updates and new versions.

Thank you. Scailer beta version is free forever and includes free updates until 2022. After we release the application, our annual subscription will take place. Scailer subscribers will receive quarterly software updates and other improvements. If you're one of the first 100 users to give us feedback, you'll get updates for free, forever!

Thank you for the opinion. Scailer has unique design that improves user’s experience in email. We decided that Scailer should look same on both platforms.

Regarding performance of the application on the old Mac, if you try it on and give us feedback, it will be really appreciated. We tested it on really slow PC and it works normally.

Regarding the keychain. Keychain is aimed to store an encrypted data. MacOS prevents other applications from accessing keychain data of other applications. Scailer uses own isolated keychain to store encryption keys to protects user’s data from 3d-party access. Scailer stores database encryption key in user’s keychain and license encryption key in system keychain. When Scailer adds an encryption certificate in system keychain, MacOS asks user to allow Scailer to do that. It will not allow Scailer to read keychain data of other applications, system or user. MacOS only allows the particular application to read keychain data created by that particular application. Using system keychain allows all users of the same Mac to use the same Scailer license.

Thank you for the feedback about the web site. You are right, we will update our web site and put pricing information when it will be ready. Currently the application is in beta and free for use. Furthermore first 100 users provided feedback to the application will get a released version for free. Pricing will be easily affordable – about the price of a coffee for individuals or a client lunch for business users. You can find similar text on the web site.

Regarding “ethically sourced contacts”. Scailer finds an avatar and social profile links (linkedin, facebook) of a particular contact in the internet using the FullContact service as a data source. Scailer shows avatars of contacts in the left panel. That feature improves Scailer’s user experience. “Ethically” means that Scailer uses only public information: public avatars and public social profile links, and Scailer does not share that information to 3d-parties, and does not use it for advertisement. Scailer caches contact information retrieved from FullContact because of FullContact recommendation. Scailer does not store on any servers any link between email address of user and requested contact. You can find FullContact’s privacy policy here: https://www.fullcontact.com/privacy/privacy-policy/

Of course no messages are passed to the server. Scailer connects to a IMAP server (gmail, office365) using a secure channel and stores message cache in local encrypted database. It allows Scailer to work with old messages in offline mode as well as support other features like fast searching, message threading and others which improve Scailer's user experience, and at same time increase the application security. Due to strong encryption nobody will be able to read your data on your hard drive, for example if you lost it.

Thank you.

We have updated the web site. Scailer tries to find an avatar and social profile links (linkedin, facebook) of a particular contact in the internet. In order to do that, Scailer takes an email address of a particular contact and sends it to the FullContact service. If additional information is found, FullContact service returns contacts avatars and social profile links to Scailer. Scailer shows avatars of contacts in the left panel. That feature improves Scailer’s user experience. “Ethically” means that Scailer uses only public information: public avatars and public social profile links, and Scailer does not share that information to 3d-parties and does not use it for advertisement. You can find FullContact’s privacy policy here: https://www.fullcontact.com/privacy/privacy-policy/

We are working on Linux version. It will be ready in 2022.

Thanks for your question. Scailer synchronizes data with email service provider (gmail, office365 whetever it is). If you even lost your laptop/computer, backup of your data will still be available on your IMAP server. Due to encryption nobody will be able to read data on a lost device.
