Canary Mail is shipping AI capabilities alongside cross-platform maintenance at a steady clip.

◆Current state
Canary Mail is a privacy-focused email client available across macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows. Recent releases have layered AI capabilities onto the core email experience — AI chat history management in 5.23.0, followed by incoming mail translation in 5.25.0 (iOS and macOS). Alongside those features, the team is handling a persistent crash and stability backlog across all platforms, particularly visible on Android.
◆Where it's heading
The AI additions follow a consistent arc: chat, then persistent history, then cross-language reading. Each release extends the AI layer into a more useful daily-use position. The next logical step is AI-assisted composition or reply drafting, which would complete the reading-to-writing loop. The volume of crash fixes across Windows and Android suggests the cross-platform surface is still catching up to the macOS core.
◆Prediction
The next meaningful release will likely add AI-assisted reply drafting or composition features, extending the translation capability into outbound workflows. Android stability work will continue in parallel.

    Release Notes for Android 4.03

    Android 4.03 is a third entry with identical content to 4.02 and the same timestamp — appears to be a changelog publishing artifact rather than a distinct build. No incremental signal.

    Release Notes for Android 4.02

    Android 4.02 fixes crashes, refines UI polish, and resolves an email deletion failure that surfaced specifically on cellular data in the background. The deletion bug was a real-world reliability gap for mobile-first users and its fix removes friction from a core workflow.

    Release Notes for Android 4.05

    Android 4.05 appears to be a duplicate of 4.02 — identical content published at the same timestamp. No distinct user-visible changes relative to 4.02.

    Release Notes iOS 5.25.0

    iOS 5.25.0 adds incoming mail translation — Canary can now translate messages in any language directly in the inbox. This is the most substantive new capability in the recent release window and fits the product's AI-augmented reading arc. Two bug fixes accompany it: Protect App Access after an iOS update broke it, and a reply-to-field autofill error affecting contact-form emails.
