The Note-to-Self App: Email Yourself in 3 Taps

Capture notes, ideas, photos and voice messages before they slip away – and find them where you already look every day: your email inbox.

Why email yourself?

Your inbox is the one place you check every single day – on your phone, at your desk, everywhere. That makes it the perfect capture point for everything you must not forget: ideas, links, tasks, reminders. An email to yourself never gets lost, is searchable, and waits exactly where you process things anyway. No extra notes app that you stop opening after two weeks.

The problem with doing it manually

Of course you can open your mail app and write to yourself. But count the steps: open the app, tap "new email", type or search your own address, think of a subject, write, send. That is six or more steps for a note that should take five seconds – and by then, the thought is often gone.

With ICH-Mail it takes 3 taps

And it is not just text: dictate on the go with speech-to-text, record voice notes, attach camera or gallery photos and PDFs, or let the built-in OCR extract text from a photo and email it to you. You can even store several recipient addresses – for example your work inbox, a project address, or your partner in CC.

Made in Germany

ICH-Mail is built by X47 GmbH in Germany. Your data is hosted in Germany, and companies can even connect their own SMTP server. The app is available in English, German and French – for iOS, Android and as a web app. You start with a free month including 100 emails; paid plans start at €3.99/month.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send an email to myself?

Yes – everyone can send emails to their own address, and it works with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and any other provider. With the ICH-Mail app it takes just 3 taps: your address is stored once, you only type or dictate the message and hit send.

What is a note-to-self app?

A note-to-self app sends quick notes straight to your own email inbox. Unlike a separate notes app, your inbox is a place you already check every day – so your notes are seen, processed and searchable on every device.

Can I send photos, files and voice notes to myself?

Yes. ICH-Mail lets you attach camera photos, gallery images, PDFs and audio recordings, dictate messages via speech-to-text, and even extract text from photos with OCR.

How much does ICH-Mail cost?

You start with a free month including 100 emails. After that, plans start at €3.99 per month. ICH-Mail is available for iOS, Android and as a web app, in English, German and French.
