Hey (email service)

HEY is a premium email service launched by 37signals in June 2020.^[1][2][3][4]

Service

The service may be accessed through the HEY website and through apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS.^[5][6] Due to the service's vertical integration, a HEY mailbox cannot be incorporated into other email services or stand-alone email clients.^[7]

Around the time of HEY's launch, a stand-off between Basecamp and Apple Inc. over Apple's policy on in-app purchases in apps hosted by its App Store was the cause of significant media attention upon Apple's policies.^{[8][9][10][11]}
