Maildun for Mac launches agentic email builder with MCP server support
Maildun for Mac launched today on Product Hunt with 48 followers, offering a macOS email builder that connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok via your own API key, and includes a built-in MCP server so tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor can create and edit emails programmatically.
Why it matters:
Client-specific workspaces, brand kits, and saved sections mean multi-client email production can run across AI assistants without rebuilding brand context each time. The proposal-based editing flow keeps a human in the loop on every AI change.

FlyHedwig Offers Free, Self-Hosted Cold Email Sequencing via Claude/Codex
FlyHedwig, an MIT-licensed open-source tool, lets users run multi-step cold email sequences from their own mailboxes at no cost. It integrates with Claude Code and Codex via MCP, and a demo shows 600 leads enrolled across 3 mailboxes returning a 7% reply rate (41 replies) within 7 days.
Why it matters:
Zero-cost cold outreach infrastructure removes per-seat or per-send fees that typically cut into campaign margins. The AI-controlled MCP interface means sequences, personalization, and reporting can be managed through the same coding agents teams may already use.

Helo launches email API at $0.00035 per email for multi-tenant senders
Helo, a new email API from former Postmark founders, launched on Product Hunt with usage-based pricing starting at $0.00035 per email. The platform isolates stats, unsubscribes, and credentials per tenant, and includes sender containment to prevent bad senders from harming shared deliverability.

Sending email on behalf of clients gets cleaner with per-tenant isolation: one client's spam or unsubscribe issues cannot bleed into another's reputation. All features are included at the base rate, with no tiered feature gating.
Agency action:
Pilot Helo for any client account where shared deliverability or credential separation is...

Audit your current client reporting workflow to identify how many hours per month are...
Snagr Adds Abandoned Cart Recovery for Polar.sh at $19/mo
Snagr launched a cart and renewal recovery tool for Polar.sh merchants, priced at $19/month (early bird, locked for life). Its own first full month live recovered $253 in revenue across 10 customers, with a 30.9% open rate and 97.4% inbox delivery.
Why it matters:
Polar.sh halts at the checkout.expired event, leaving abandoned carts unaddressed. Snagr fills that gap with automated follow-up emails at 30, and two additional intervals, giving digital-product sellers a recovery layer Polar does not provide natively.
Agency action:
Run the free Polar Leak Report to see current checkout drop-off before committing to a...
