For your personal life and your business · Built for people who run more than one inbox
🚪 Knock knock. A new sender is at the door.
A 14-message thread or a 900-word email? ✨ In short tells you what it wants and what you need to do, right in your list, before you even open it.
Hi again, thanks for the call on Tuesday and sorry for the back and forth. After speaking with the family we have had a few changes. My sister’s side can now come, so the numbers went from 65 to 72 and then, as of this morning, to 80 confirmed guests. The date is still the 12th of December. On the menu, we liked option B but my mother asked if the goat stew could be swapped for the chicken, and whether you could do a vegetarian jollof for about ten people. Regarding the payment, our accountant said you would need to send an invoice for the 30% deposit, and she will only pay once she has it. Could you please send the final menu and the deposit invoice by Monday so we can lock everything in? Also, as I mentioned in my earlier email about the venue…

Sealed email locks private details before they leave your device. Only the person with the passcode can open it. Write your email and tap Seal, send the passcode by phone or WhatsApp, and they open the link and read it on their own device.
Uses AES-256, the standard encryption banks use. Up to 2,000 characters. The subject line and attachments aren’t sealed. A lost passcode can’t be recovered. Coming next: links that open once and then disappear.
A new starter joins on Monday. Send their email password and building door code the morning they start, then read them the passcode over the phone.
A supplier asks for your bank details for an invoice. Seal them and phone the passcode, so they also know the details really came from you.
At tax time, a client needs their tax-portal login or a reference number. Send it sealed instead of in a plain email that sits in their inbox for years.
The project is finished. Hand over the website, hosting and domain logins to your client in one sealed email.
A new tenant or guest arrives this weekend. Send the key-safe code and Wi-Fi password sealed, and text the passcode the day before.
You’re offering someone a job or a raise. Send the salary and start date sealed, so only they can read it, even if the email is forwarded by mistake.
Before a contract is signed, send a client your confidential price or the terms you agreed on a call, without it sitting readable in anyone’s inbox.
Your travel agent or employer needs your passport number and date of birth. Send them sealed, not in a plain email anyone with the inbox can read.
Someone is looking after your home or a parent’s accounts while you travel. Share the alarm code, where the important papers are kept, or the doctor’s and insurance details, sealed.
Hodi Sign turns any PDF into a signed agreement from the same place you write your email. Attach the PDF, tap Ask to sign, and each person gets their own private link. They read it, sign with a finger or a mouse, and everyone gets the signed copy with a signing certificate.
Simple electronic signatures under the US ESIGN Act and UETA, and eIDAS in the EU and UK. Not for wills or documents that need a notary or witnesses. PDFs up to 4 MB. Signing links work for 30 days.
A plumber, builder or designer sends a quote in the morning and has it approved and signed before lunch, from the customer’s phone.
A freelancer or agency gets the contract signed before starting work, so scope and price are agreed in writing.

A small business sends a job offer and gets it back signed the same day, without printing anything.
Before sharing a new idea or a price list, get a simple non-disclosure agreement signed in minutes.
A restaurant or event business confirms a supplier agreement or a venue booking, with proof of who agreed and when.

We’re opening Hodi to a small group of people and businesses first, so we can look after each one properly.
Prices in US dollars. Pay yearly and get 2 months free. Cancel any time. Taxes such as VAT are added where they apply. After your first year, plans go to the regular price shown crossed out. Add-ons are paid only when you use them and are not a subscription: each use is added to that month’s bill. One Hodi Sign use is one document, however many people sign it. The new features are free during the beta, then join the plan shown.
Anyone who wants calmer email: people with a personal address like Gmail or iCloud, and small business owners who run one or more brands and are tired of juggling inboxes.
Mostly when you tap an AI button, like ✨ In short. Two features run by themselves to save you work: the short card at the top of an email you open, and 🧭 Radar, which reads your recent email about once a day while Hodi is open. When AI runs, the email’s text is sent to Anthropic’s Claude to write the answer. It isn’t used to train AI.
No. A sealed email is locked in your browser before it’s sent, using AES-256 encryption. The locked text travels in the link, and the passcode never leaves your device, so neither Hodi nor the mail servers in between can read it. Send the passcode a different way, like a call or WhatsApp. If it’s lost, the email can’t be opened.
Yes, for most everyday agreements. Hodi Sign makes simple electronic signatures, which the US ESIGN Act and UETA, and eIDAS in the EU and UK, accept for contracts, quotes, leases, offer letters and forms. Each signer agrees to sign electronically, and the signing certificate records who signed, when and how. It isn’t for wills or documents that need a notary or witnesses, and some countries have their own exceptions, so check if you’re unsure.
Where it is today, with your own email provider. Hodi connects to it and shows it to you, without keeping a copy. If Hodi gives you a new @gethodi.com mailbox instead, it’s stored with our hosting provider InterServer in the United States. See our Privacy page.
No tool can promise that, and we won’t. Scam Shield catches the common tricks and tells you why something looks wrong, and new senders always wait at the door.
Nothing changes. It stays with your provider and keeps working in your other apps too. Hodi is simply a better way to read and answer it.
No. Hodi is for everyday business email. Bulk mail belongs on a mailing service, which keeps everyone’s mail out of spam folders.
Your email address and password. Gmail, iCloud and Yahoo ask for an “app password” instead, which takes about two minutes to make; we send you the steps. Outlook and Hotmail addresses are coming soon.
Any time. Just sign out; your email stays where it is.
