Micro Inbox search with filters for sender, subject, date, and attachments

Inbox search covers more of your email, new accounts can start without a card, and chat can work directly with more file types.

Search The Whole Inbox

Inbox has a full-page search across connected mailboxes. Use familiar filters for sender, recipient, subject, date, and excluded words without giving up the underlying search query.

Recent people are easier to pick, and filtered searches remain editable and shareable.

Start On The Free Plan

New accounts can get into Micro without entering a card. When a trial ends, you can continue on the Free plan instead of running into a hard paywall.

Billing now shows the current plan, credit usage, reset timing, and relevant limits more clearly. When a paid feature is unavailable, Micro points to the next useful option instead of sending you out of the app.

Bring More Files Into Chat

Upload text and code files directly to chat. Micro keeps recognizable file extensions, makes failed uploads retryable, and handles several pasted or dropped files more predictably.

Documents created in chat can open in an editable side panel, while email attachments are easier to find from Library.
