Email should be calm, private, and yours.
We're building the inbox we wanted for ourselves: quiet, encrypted, and free of the ads and tracking that turned email into someone else's business. No gimmicks — just mail that respects you.
People shouldn't be the product
Somewhere along the way, "free" email stopped being free. The price became your attention and your data — messages scanned to build a profile, an inbox arranged to sell you things, and quiet defaults that were never really yours to choose.
Tilomail exists because email is too important for that. It's where your receipts, your conversations, and your password resets live. A place that personal should answer to you, not to an advertising auction running in the background.
When you're not the product, the inbox can finally be on your side.
So we built Tilomail to be simple to trust: your mailbox is encrypted, we don't run ads, and we don't sell or mine your data. Our job is to keep your mail safe and get out of the way — and to make leaving as easy as joining, because trust you can't walk away from isn't trust at all.
Our principles
Not a slogan — the rules we hold ourselves to, in the product and in the business.
No ads ever
Not on the free plan, not anywhere. Your inbox is a place to read your mail, never a billboard we rent out.
No tracking
No third-party trackers, no ad pixels, no shadow profiles. We don't follow you around the web, and we don't let others do it in our name.
Encryption by default
Your mailbox is encrypted at rest and every connection is secured in transit — no toggle to find, no upsell. Private is simply how it starts.
Open standards
IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV mean Tilomail works with the apps you already use — and never traps your mail in a format only we can read.
You can leave anytime
Export everything in standard formats and delete your account in a click. No lock-in, no dark patterns, no "are you really sure" maze.
Calm by default
No engagement tricks, no manufactured urgency, no notifications designed to pull you back. A quiet inbox is the whole point.
How we're funded
Plainly: you pay us, so we work for you. Tilomail is funded by subscriptions — the paid Plus and Business plans support the service and keep the free Personal plan running. That's the entire model. There's no advertising revenue, no data brokering, and no venture-scale pressure to squeeze your attention. When our only customer is the person reading their mail, every incentive points the same way: keep your inbox private and worth paying for.
Where the money comes from
And, just as importantly, where it doesn't.
- Personal, Plus and Business subscriptions
- Custom-domain and team seats
- Advertising or sponsored inbox placements
- Selling, renting or mining your data
