What we're building in Q3 2025

A transparent look at our roadmap: streaming delivery, attachment storage, the managed SaaS launch, and what's coming after.

We believe in building in public. Here's what's on the roadmap for Q3, what we've already shipped, and what we're thinking about for Q4.

Already shipped

  • Core SMTP receive — inbound email → webhook in under 500ms on average
  • Thread detection — automatic conversation threading via In-Reply-To / References headers
  • Multi-tenancy — organizations with isolated API keys
  • Dead-letter queue — inspect and replay failed webhook deliveries
  • Docker Compose self-host — single command to run the full stack

In progress

Streaming delivery (WebSockets) — For latency-sensitive use cases, we're adding a WebSocket endpoint that pushes message events in real time. No polling, no webhooks, sub-100ms delivery.

Attachment storage — Right now attachments are included inline in the webhook payload (Base64 encoded). We're moving them to a separate blob storage layer with signed URLs.

SaaS launch — The managed version of Programmable Inbox is our top priority for Q3. We'll launch with a usage-based free tier (5,000 messages/month) and paid plans above that.

Planned for Q4

  • Replay from timestamp — reprocess all messages from a given time window, useful for recovering from bugs in your webhook handler
  • Email sending — we're email receive focused today, but outbound is on the roadmap
  • SDK libraries — typed clients for Node.js, Python, and Go
  • Zapier / Make integration — no-code routing for non-developer users

How to influence the roadmap

All of our roadmap is tracked publicly on GitHub. Open an issue, upvote an existing one, or start a Discussion. We read everything and it directly influences what we build next.
