Though the inbox list looks fantastic, when you click to read an email it takes up the whole screen. Hiri, on the other hand, falls just shy of layout heaven. It is spacious, but not in a wasteful way, it is clean, simple, and allows me to get from point A to point B quickly. Geary is an email client that I think does layouts just right. Hiri seemingly fixes this but adds another issue that may be even worse. Though I love Thunderbird dearly, the inbox list is just a little too small to feel like I can really cipher through my emails in a decent amount of time. I never felt like I was using something outdated looking like Evolution (I know people like Evolution a lot, but to say it is clean and modern is a lie), it never felt overly complicated like KMail, and it felt less cramped than Thunderbird. Experiencing the Hiri UIĪs far as design goes, Hiri gets a solid A from me. I really dig what Hiri has to offer, and it’s as simple as that. It is clean, simple enough, and allows someone with my productivity workflow to thrive. In short, Hiri’s feature-set allows for what feels like a truly native Microsoft offering on Linux. The support for IMAP will be added in a few months. Multiple account support is also available in Hiri. Need to email Frank Smith in Human Resources but can’t remember his email address? No big deal! Hiri will auto-fill the email address once you start typing in his name just like in a native Outlook client. Hiri also syncs with your associated calendars as you would expect, and it even allows a global search for all of the other accounts associated with your office. And as someone who is an avid Inbox Zeroer (if that is even a thing), this to me was incredibly useful. The Dashboard feature allows you to monitor your time spent working on emails, the Task List enables you to stay on track, the Action/FYI feature allows you to tag your emails as needed to help you cipher through a messy inbox, and the Zero Inbox feature helps the user keep their inbox count at a minimum once they have sorted through the nonsense. Using these features can help you organize your email like never before. None of which are required, but each of which adds something to Hiri that no other email client has done as well.

This includes the ability to add tasks, delegate action items to other people, set reminders, and even enables the user to create better subject lines. Here you can add or remove functionality in Hiri at the flip of a switch. It does this by utilizing what Hiri calls the Skill Center. If I had to put it into my own words, I would say that Hiri feels almost modular. That is partially due to the way that Hiri works. But in Hiri’s case, it has what feels like the perfect feature set and in no way feels convoluted or confusing. For example, KDE’s Plasma desktop is known for its excessive amount of tweaks and features and I am still a huge Plasma fan. As a self-proclaimed minimalist, I tend to believe the simpler option is often the better option, and the less “fluff” there is surrounding a product, the easier it is to get to the part that really matters. But, if you knew me at all, you would know that usually, a robust feature list is not a huge selling point for me.

Hiri can either be compiled manually or installed easily as Snap and comes jam-packed with useful features.

Cross-platform application available for Linux, macOS and Windows.

I have been using Hiri for a week as of yesterday, and I have to say, I have been very pleased with my experience…for the most part. The support for Linux has brought Hiri a considerable amount of success. They have been in the business for almost five years but started supporting Linux only last year. According to their website, Hiri not only supports Microsoft Exchange and Office 365 accounts, it was exclusively “built for the Microsoft email ecosystem.”īased in Dublin, Ireland, Hiri has raised $2 million in funding.
