Not a spec sheet
Here's what each part of Dravox actually does for you.
Native, not tolerated
Dravox isn't a website wrapped in a window. It's a real desktop application. It opens instantly, keeps working when your connection drops, and behaves like the rest of your operating system instead of a guest stuck inside it.
Opens like an app, not like a tab.
You won't sign in again tomorrow, lose your place on a refresh, or watch a browser swallow your keyboard shortcuts for its own.
Native desktop client (cljfx/JavaFX)
Built for the inbox you actually have.
Dravox doesn't spread itself across five providers it half-supports. It does Outlook, and it does Outlook completely.
Deep, Outlook-only integration
New mail shows up the way the rest of your system does.
Not a browser permission popup you dismissed once and never saw again. A real notification your desktop already knows how to handle.
Native desktop notifications (Linux)
Install it the way you install everything else on Linux.
One command. It works the same on Fedora, Ubuntu, and everything between, with no dependency hunting and no manual updates.

Keyboard-first, all the way down
Every action in Dravox has a keyboard path built around a single leader key: reading, replying, archiving, jumping between folders, all of it. It's the same chainable-shortcut idea power users already know from Emacs and Vim.
Run your inbox without leaving the home row.
Tap a leader key, then a short sequence, to jump folders, triage a message, or fire off a reply. It's the muscle memory Emacs and Vim users already have, just pointed at your inbox.
Leader-key command layer
Private by default
Dravox won't load a remote image or fire a tracking pixel until you've decided the sender is worth trusting. Your read receipts stay yours until you hand them out on purpose.
Nobody finds out you opened their email unless you decide they earned it.
Senders you've never engaged with get their images blocked automatically; the ones you actually correspond with load normally.
Consent-gated remote images
Set up your way
The first launch asks one honest question: are you here to explore a new tool, or just trying to get through your inbox? It configures the whole app around your answer, and there's nothing to reconfigure later.
Feels familiar on day one, gets out of your way by day two.
Classic mode looks like the inbox you already know. Productive mode strips it down to what triage actually needs. Pick one during a thirty-second setup, and switch whenever you want.
