InboxNest Lite – Unified inbox for side businesses

Aggregate messages from multiple shops and mailboxes into one lightweight inbox

Problem

People running several small businesses or shops often switch between different mailboxes and platform dashboards to check customer messages, and important inquiries slip through. Someone built a unified inbox for all their businesses, showing the multi-identity aggregation need is real but existing options can be heavy or expensive.

Solution

A lightweight local-first unified inbox that pulls messages from multiple mailboxes and common channels into one view, separated by business or shop, with quick replies and unread flags. It does not replace your mailboxes, only aggregates and triages.

Users

Solo sellers running multiple small shops or side hustles, freelancers and tiny teams

MVP

Connect 2-5 mainstream email accounts; group unread messages by business/shop tag; support simple quick-reply templates; store credentials and email index locally; desktop notifications

Revenue

Free tier limited to 2 accounts; Pro subscription for more accounts, channels and template sync

Why now

More people run side businesses and multi-platform shops, making multi-identity management a daily pain; IMAP and existing email APIs let a solo dev build the aggregation layer cheaply
