Atomic Blend vs Gmail & Google Calendar
Everything you use Google for — without the data mining.
Gmail and Google Calendar are free, polished, and everywhere. They are also funded by building a profile of you: your mail and calendar are readable by Google and feed its advertising business.
Atomic Blend gives you the same everyday tools — mail, calendar, tasks, and notes — in one account that is encrypted end to end. We can’t read your data, there are no ads, and there is no profiling.
