Nothing leaves your Gmail until you have read it.
Fewsend fills in a template for each person on your list, holds every message in a queue, and sends at most twenty-five a day from your own account. No tracking pixels. No access to your inbox. Nothing sent on your behalf that you have not approved.
That queue is live. Approve one and watch the day's allowance run down.
Hi Maya,
I saw Northbound opened up a self-serve trial last month. I run a small tool in the same space and I'm curious how you handled the first-run experience, specifically whether you gate the import step.
Worth fifteen minutes?
An unsubscribe link is added here when this sends.
Working sample. Written copy, real interaction, nothing sends from this page.

The scope is Google's own gmail.send, which grants permission to send and nothing else. You can see it on the Google consent screen when you connect, and revoke it from your account permissions without asking us. The caps are enforced on the server. You cannot raise them past fifty, and neither can I without shipping a new version.
How it works
Three things, in order.
- 01
Bring your list
Import a CSV. Every column becomes a placeholder you can drop into a template, and Fewsend checks that each domain can actually receive mail before you waste a send on it.
- 02
Write it once
One template, rendered back to you for each person. If a placeholder did not resolve, Fewsend refuses to send that message rather than mailing somebody a literal pair of braces.
- 03
Read, approve, step away
Approved messages leave one at a time, at least a minute apart, under the day's cap. Follow-ups wait until you have told Fewsend who replied, because it cannot see that for itself.
Why so few
The limit is the product.
Every other tool in this category competes on volume. They will happily rotate you across eight mailboxes and push two thousand messages a day, and the reason they can promise that is that they are not the ones whose domain gets burned when it goes wrong.
Twenty-five is not a starter tier. It is roughly the number of genuinely researched emails one person can write and mean in a day, and it is comfortably under the point where Gmail starts treating you as a sender rather than a person. Fewsend enforces it in the backend rather than the interface, so there is no setting to find and no upgrade that lifts it.
The tracking pixel is missing for the same reason. Pixels drag messages toward spam folders, Apple Mail reports opens that never happened, and dropping a tracker onto a stranger's device to learn something that trivial is a consent problem you do not need. Replies are the only number here, and you will have to read your own inbox to count them.

No tracking pixel, no rewritten links, no redirect domain between you and the person reading it. The one-click unsubscribe header is the same one Gmail and Yahoo require from bulk senders, and it goes on every message whether you remember it or not.
Buy something else
Fewsend is wrong for you if
- You need to send hundreds or thousands of emails a day.
- You want drip campaigns that run without you in the loop.
- You want open rates, click rates and a dashboard of them.
- You send from Outlook, or from anything that is not Gmail.
- You would rather not spend ten minutes in the Google Cloud console to connect your mailbox.
- You need shared team inboxes, seats and permissions.
- You want the drafts sent for you without reading them first.
Those are real noes, not a roadmap. If any of them describes you, Instantly, Smartlead and Lemlist all do that job properly and I would rather you used one of them than resented this.
Pricing
$15 a month, per workspace
A workspace is one connected mailbox with its own contacts, templates and pace. Fourteen days free to start, no card. Cancel and sending stops, while everything you imported and wrote stays readable and exportable as CSV until you delete it yourself.
Start your trialWho is behind this
Early, and saying so.
I'm Flavius. I built Fewsend because I was sending twenty cold emails a day by hand, and every tool that offered to help wanted to send them for me, count who opened them, and do it a thousand at a time. That is a different job from the one I had. This one drafts, you read, you approve, it goes out from your own Gmail, and it stops at twenty-five.
I wrote all of it and I run it alone. If I ever shut it down you get sixty days' notice and a full export, and a refund for any reason in the first thirty days.

Questions
The ones people actually ask.
Does Fewsend read my inbox?
No. Fewsend asks Google for one permission, gmail.send, which only allows sending. It cannot open, search, or read your mail, and it cannot see your replies. That is also why you mark replies yourself.
How many emails can I send per day?
25 a day by default and 50 at most, with at least 60 seconds between each one. A newly connected mailbox is held to 15 a day for its first week. The limits are enforced on the server, so you cannot raise them past 50.
Do I need a separate domain or sending service?
No. Fewsend sends through the Gmail account you already use, so there is no new domain to warm up, no sending service to pay for, and no unfamiliar address for your recipients. Sent messages appear in your normal Gmail Sent folder. Fewsend adds no DNS records of its own, though your domain should already have SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up, as any domain sending business email should.
What happens when somebody replies?
You mark the reply in Fewsend. Before any follow-up batch goes out, Fewsend lists the people about to receive one and asks whether each replied, bounced, or said nothing. Anyone who replied is dropped automatically.
What do I need before I can send?
A Google Workspace account on your own domain, and about ten minutes to create a Google credential the first time. The sending address can be different from the one you sign in with, and each workspace connects exactly one mailbox. A personal @gmail.com address works too. Its mail is properly authenticated, because Google publishes SPF and DMARC for gmail.com and signs what you send. What you give up is a reputation of your own: every gmail.com sender shares one domain, so nothing you do builds credit for your address, and Postmaster Tools cannot show you your spam rate because you do not own the domain. Your own domain is also simply more convincing to a stranger you are asking for fifteen minutes.
Why do I have to create a Google credential myself?
Fewsend supports a Google OAuth credential owned by you. It lets you revoke the connection in your Google Cloud project, and Fewsend stores the client secret and refresh token encrypted. Internal apps used only within a Google Workspace organization can qualify for an exception to verification. External apps may need verification and can show an unverified-app warning. Owning the credential does not exempt sending from Google policy, including its prohibition on unsolicited commercial mail.
Does Fewsend track opens or clicks?
No. Fewsend adds no tracking pixels and does not rewrite links to measure clicks. You check replies in Gmail and mark them in Fewsend. This keeps recipient tracking out of the workflow; it does not guarantee inbox placement.
What happens if I cancel or my trial ends?
Sending and follow-ups pause. Everything else stays readable and exportable, and nothing is deleted unless you delete it. You can export all of your data as CSV or erase your account at any time.
How is this different from Instantly, Lemlist, or Smartlead?
Those tools are built to send thousands of emails a day across many mailboxes. Fewsend caps you at 50 a day from one mailbox and makes you approve each message by hand. If you want volume, they are the better fit. If you are a founder sending 20 careful emails, they are far more machinery than you need.
