Boogie review
A focused Apple client for JMAP mail, calendars, offline work, and scheduling.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Boogie is a native JMAP email and calendar client for people using Apple devices with JMAP-compatible mail infrastructure. It supports multiple accounts, on-device full-text email search, offline mail changes with synchronization when connectivity returns, scheduled sending, vacation auto-reply, and Spotlight indexing. Calendar tools include day, week, and month views, invitations, and RSVP. Apple Watch users can also compose email. The product is aimed at individuals and small teams that want a focused client across Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch rather than a general-purpose email application.
Its strongest fit is the combination of JMAP support and Apple-device coverage. Boogie connects with Stalwart Mail Server, Fastmail, Apache James, and other JMAP-compatible servers. The Annual plan costs $39.99 per year and includes native apps, JMAP email and calendar on every device, and updates released during the subscription. The Lifetime plan costs $99 one time, includes major and minor updates for the life of the product, and installs on every device associated with the Apple ID. A 14-day trial provides full feature access on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch without requiring a credit card.
Boogie is a narrower choice because it is JMAP-only and requires compatible server infrastructure. That requirement should guide the purchase more than the client feature list: users with supported mail servers can get offline synchronization, local search, scheduled sending, and calendar workflows in one Apple-focused product, while users on other mailbox protocols should choose an alternative. Notifications when Boogie is closed are available through Boogie Push, priced at $19.99 per year or $2.49 per month, and the add-on works with Annual and Lifetime plans. Choose Boogie for focused JMAP support across Apple devices; avoid it if broad protocol compatibility is a priority.
