Turn on one switch and each new note you record arrives in the inbox you already check. Each email says why it arrived: you turned on Email me my notes in Cleft. The note’s title is the subject and the note itself is the message. Organise the emails however your mail app likes: they all come from one Cleft address, so one inbox rule can label every note.
Requires Cleft Plus. If Plus lapses, emails pause. They start again on their own when Plus is back.

​
Turn it on

  1. Open Settings in Cleft and choose Integrations.
  2. Turn on Email me my notes. The address shown is your Cleft account address. Notes only ever go there.
  3. Read the short summary and choose Turn On.

​
What gets emailed

  • Each note you record after you turn this on, from iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or CarPlay.
  • The note’s title as the subject. A note without a title gets the date and time it was made.
  • The note’s text as the message.
Cleft does not email audio, the transcript, attachments, or tags. Imported notes and notes you type are not emailed. Editing a note, adding to it, or making it again never sends a second email.

​
In the note

An emailed note shows Emailed to you with the time, and an Archive button if you want it out of your library. Cleft never archives a note for you. If a note could not be emailed, it shows Couldn’t email yet. If emails to your address keep failing, Cleft pauses and tells you once, on one note, instead of on every recording.

​
Turn it off

  • In Cleft: Settings > Integrations > Email me my notes.
  • From any of these emails: choose Manage or unsubscribe in Cleft at the end. It opens the switch in Cleft, where you turn it off. Links in these emails never change anything on their own.
  • In your mail app: its own Unsubscribe button turns it off without signing in.
Cleft does not keep replies to these emails. A reply bounces back with a note that points you to Settings in Cleft and to hello@cleftnotes.com. To reach Cleft, write to hello@cleftnotes.com.

​
If emails stop

Open Settings > Integrations. If it says delivery is paused because emails keep failing, check that your inbox accepts mail from Cleft, then choose Turn Back On.

​
Privacy

Email is not end-to-end encrypted. When this is on, each new note’s title and text leave Cleft’s servers, pass through Cleft’s email provider, and are stored by your mail provider like any other email. Cleft records that you agreed, which wording you saw, and when. Turning this off stops new emails. It does not remove emails already in your inbox. See Privacy & Data Security.
