From the builder

Why I built this

I kept running into the same frustration: folders full of .msg and .eml files with no quick way to get the actual content out — without Outlook, without uploading sensitive emails to a cloud service, and without copy-pasting one email at a time.

I work with legal documents and business correspondence where privacy matters. Uploading client emails to a third-party server was never an option. So I built a tool that runs entirely in the browser — your files stay on your machine, full stop.

If you've got feedback or a workflow it doesn't handle yet, I'd genuinely love to hear it. This tool gets better because of people who actually use it.
