We Started Vern Because
Email Is Broken

And nobody's fixing both sides of the problem.

Our goal is simple:
An inbox that works for you - and protects you.

Email is where work happens. It's where deals close, families connect, and decisions get made. But somewhere along the way, it became a mess — overflowing inboxes, endless sorting, and threats lurking in every tab.

We looked at the tools out there. Productivity apps that help you write faster but leave you exposed. Security tools that lock things down but slow you to a crawl. Enterprise solutions that cost a fortune and take months to set up.

We thought: why should anyone have to choose?

So we built Vern — an AI email client that helps you work smarter and stay safer, without compromise. One inbox. One tool. Both problems solved.

What We Believe

Everyone deserves an inbox that works for them — and protects them. Not just big companies with IT teams. Not just people who can spot a phishing link. Everyone.

That means freelancers juggling client emails. Small teams moving fast. Families keeping parents safe from scams. People who just want email to feel calm again.

Vern is for all of them.

Where We're Headed

We're just getting started. Every week, Vern gets smarter — better at catching threats, better at surfacing what matters, better at saving you time.

Our goal is simple: make email something you trust again.
