Vocal-Mail

Vocal-Mail is a productivity-first desktop application that helps you manage your emails while you focus on what truly matters.

It automatically categorizes and prioritizes your emails, summarizes the important ones using the OpenRouter API, and then uses Murf TTS to read them out loud — making multitasking smoother and smarter.
