Vithos vs Notion Mail

Notion Mail is going away. Your inbox does not have to feel slower for it.

NOTENotion Mail has been deprecated: Notion announced it shuts down on September 22, 2026. Because it ran on Gmail, your mail is intact where it always was, which makes right now a clean moment to switch.

Notion Mail brought real ideas to the inbox, and plenty of its users chose it for the same reasons Vithos exists: a calmer, faster, more deliberate way to do email on top of Gmail. With its shutdown announced, those users need a new home rather than a step back to the Gmail tab.

Vithos is that home, and arguably a truer one. Email is our entire product, not a feature beside a bigger one. It speaks the keyboard language you already learned, its search engine indexes everything locally so results appear as you type, and it is built by people whose only roadmap is this app.

Why people switch

Nothing to migrate

Notion Mail never moved your mail out of Gmail, and neither does Vithos. Switching is downloading the app and signing in with Google; your inbox, labels, and history are simply there.

A home that is the whole product

Notion Mail was one bet inside a much larger company, and it lost to the other bets. Email is everything Vithos does, so the roadmap cannot wander off to somewhere else.

The speed you switched for, doubled down

You left the Gmail tab for something faster and calmer. Vithos indexes everything locally and holds every interaction to a 60 FPS, sub-50ms bar, so it feels less like a website and more like an instrument.

Notion Mail's ending is an inconvenience, not a loss of your mail. Point Vithos at the same Gmail and keep moving.

Stop waiting on your inbox.
