Spark is an email organizer and instant messaging platform ideal for busy users and small businesses. This is capable of organizing all your emails and even allows you to set priorities so that you only see the most important emails first. If you're tired of spam and unimportant emails clogging up your inbox, then this program might work for you.

Smart Algorithm

The main feature of Spark is its ability to organize emails based on importance. You won't have to sift through hundreds of emails anymore to see if any of them are worth reading. There are some default settings here that push spam down to the bottom, but the real strength of this algorithm is its customization.

You can set the program to highlight emails from certain people or containing certain words of phrases. For example, if you need to see any emails concerning an upcoming event, then just set the program to highlight any message with the event name. As a smart algorithm, this will also consider similar words and people so that it shows you any relevant messages.

You can also sync your device so that push notifications are sent for certain messages. This is great for critical emails that you need to see right now. Use this to ensure you don't miss any important updates.

Categories

Another wonderful feature is that you can break down messages into categories. This makes it even easier to find a message that you're looking for. The standard categories are newsletters, notifications and personal, but you can set other categories as well. This approach prevents your queue from getting too clogged with emails.

Natural Language Search

Sometimes find a specific email is tough. Most email programs force you to search for a specific word or phrase and will only deliver results that specifically match your search term. Spark uses a natural language search that is much more flexible. This makes it easier to find a message if you don't remember the exact word or phrase used.

Spark will deliver results as soon as you start typing letters. This makes it much easier to pinpoint the exact message you're looking for.

Instant Messaging

On top of sorting your inbox, Spark also functions as an instant messaging client. This works by using Jabber as the messaging client and you can contact any other Spark or Jabber user. This is considered a very safe messaging system and Jabber can connect with your phone.

There are also all standard messaging features like emojis and the ability to share files. You can use this either on a public or private network depending on your needs.

Design

Spark's design is quite utilitarian. This makes it a little boring, but at the same time it's easy to find whatever you're looking for. You can easily locate any tool or message that you need. All of the features are easy to use as well.

This program is all about simplicity and usability. While it doesn't have a strong and distinctive design, it delivers in terms of usefulness.
