MailFarm

Your post, read
and sorted.

Snap a paper letter. MailFarm reads it, works out who it is really from and what it wants. You approve everything: nothing pays or sends itself.

Snap a letter — photograph a paper letter and upload it here.

Photographing a letter with a phone at the kitchen table

Snap it. We read it.

No typing, no forms: the photo is the whole input. MailFarm answers five questions for every letter — who sent it, what it wants, how much, by when, and what happens if it is ignored.

See how it works

Every kind of post, in one circle

Bills, tax, health, junk, urgent mail and reminders. Each lands in its own folder with its own colour, so the pile on the hall table stops being a pile.

Neat folders on a tidy desk at home

Sorted. Remembered.

A date becomes a reminder only when you approve it. Every letter gets a green, amber or red badge — a check, never a guarantee. And the scan is deleted once the letter is read.

The details

What happens to each letter
  • MailFarm reads the photo and answers five questions: who sent it, what it wants, how much, by when, and what happens if it is ignored.
  • The letter is filed into its folder: bills, tax, health, junk or urgent.
  • A date becomes a reminder only when you approve it.
  • The scan is deleted after reading.
How the verdict works
Every letter gets a badge: green for routine, amber for needs attention, red for act now or risk something. The badge is a check, never a guarantee. MailFarm proposes; you decide.
Privacy and security
Your scans are used to read the letter, then deleted. Nothing is paid, sent or cancelled without your explicit yes. Reminders only tell you; they never act on their own.
Pricing
20 letters a month, free at launch. Paid plans come later, and free stays free.
Who it is for
Anyone with a pile of paper post: bills, tax, HMRC, hospitals, court letters and junk, all mixed in one drawer.
