Android/iOS: It’s way easier to send a quick message to someone than write a long email. Why can’t email be like messaging? Hop thinks it can, turning your emails into chat-style conversations you can reply to quickly.


The email client takes a unique approach, turning each email into a simplified message conversation. You can reply to them much like you would in Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. Type your reply, hit send, boom you’re done. It even formats things like photos, events, and attachments so you can easily get to them. For work email you might want to stick with regular email if there are certain expectations of formatting or decorum, but for personal communications it’s a much simpler way to talk to your friends and family who aren’t already on a messaging app.

To get in on it, you’ll need an invite code, but we’ve got you covered! Enter the code “lifehacker” when you first launch the app and you’ll be in. After that you’ll simply need to add your contacts and connect your email accounts and you’ll be good to go.
