Don't hand over your whole inbox.

How it works

Set up in about five minutes.

1. 01

   Continue with Google

   One sign-in connects your mailbox, read-only. Aperture asks for nothing it does not need.

2. 02

   Choose the labels to share

   Pick the Gmail labels that hold what you want to expose, like Receipts or Newsletters. Anything not on the list stays invisible.

3. 03

   Set how far back

   Choose a time window. Threads older than that stay private, even inside a label you shared. The default is the past year.

4. 04

   Point your assistant at it

   Hand your assistant a token and it can read what is in scope. It can never reach anything else, and it can never send.

Security

Shut by default.

Aperture starts with zero access and only ever opens what you choose. The boundary is the whole point.

Scoped

Your assistant reaches only the labels you allow-list, and nothing else in your mailbox.

Read-only

Aperture connects with Google's read-only access. Nothing it exposes can send, delete, or change your mail.

Time-boxed

A recency window keeps old threads out of reach, even inside a label you shared.

Audited

Every request is logged: which token, what it did, which thread, and when. Yours to review any time.

Revocable

Revoke a token or disconnect your mailbox in one click. Access ends the moment you say so.

The API

A small, honest API.

Your assistant authenticates with a token and reads JSON. It can ask what it is allowed to see, then list and read threads within that scope.

# What can this token see?
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APERTURE_TOKEN" \
  https://aperture.email/api/scope

{ "labels": ["Receipts", "Newsletters"],
  "window_days": 365, "can_draft": false }

# List accessible threads (headers only)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APERTURE_TOKEN" \
  https://aperture.email/api/threads

{ "threads": [ /* From, To, Subject, Date */ ],
  "truncated": false, "next_cursor": null }

It can narrow that scope further, never widen it.

What's next

Drafting, without sending.

Soon your assistant will be able to write a draft reply on a thread it can see, saved straight to your Gmail drafts, for you to review and send yourself.

It can draft. It can never send.

That guarantee ships with the feature.
