What shipped after launch: July 2–10
We launched Banger on July 2. Since then, we have spent the first week tightening the things that make an email app worth opening all day: less noise, quicker decisions, and less friction on your Mac.
Here is what shipped.
A calmer Work board
The Work board is becoming the place for conversations that genuinely need the team’s attention, rather than another copy of the inbox.
Filtered conversations stay out of the way by default. When something matters, pull it into triage, move it to the right person, and send completed work to Done. You can now drag work out of Filtered and drop triage items into Done, so the board matches how work actually moves instead of forcing another process on top of email.
A sharper native Mac inbox
We made the native mailbox feel better in the small moments that add up throughout a day:
- smoother scrolling in a busy mailbox
- participant avatar clusters, so it is easier to read a thread at a glance
- grouped bulk actions when selecting several threads
- a mailbox selector right in the new-message header
- a reply composer that grows with your message
- one contextual action set for attachments
- native handling for
mailto:links
Labels and spam recovery you can control
Labels should be useful, not a one-way decision made for you. You can now edit a thread’s labels directly in the mailbox, including in the native Mac app. We also added a path to recover a thread from spam back into the inbox and tightened the label and spam actions around it.
That gives teams a straightforward way to correct the occasional misclassification without losing the conversation.
More private by default
Remote images are now proxied instead of loaded directly from a sender’s server. That reduces passive tracking when opening email while keeping the messages readable.
We also made read-receipt requests opt-in by default. Email should not surprise you with invisible signals going out in the background.
A more useful email domain checker
The free email domain checker now recognizes more providers, including Titan, Namecheap, IONOS, Gandi, Infomaniak, and Barracuda.
That makes it easier to understand how a domain’s email is configured before you connect it to Banger.
The reliability work you should not have to notice
We also fixed the edges that make an app feel dependable: notification clicks now open the right mail view, session refresh is safer when you are offline, replies keep targeting the right conversation, and mixed-case email addresses no longer split a thread’s history.
None of these are a hero feature on their own. Together, they mean less time wondering whether the app understood what you meant.
We are only a week past launch, and this is the pace we want to keep: make email calmer, make team work clearer, and remove the tiny points of friction that turn into a long day.
