Email campaigns
Create and manage campaigns from the same workspace used for other email workflows.
Open-source email marketing workspace
Maildun is an open-source email marketing tool for managing campaigns, sequences, and transactional email in one workspace. It is designed for people who want to run the email stack themselves, inspect the code, and contribute to the project rather than rely only on a hosted service.
The product also includes Maildun for Mac, a native email builder currently labeled beta. The app combines visual email design with an AI assistant and MCP support, while a managed Maildun platform is listed as coming soon for users who prefer the service to be operated for them.
