Break free from Google’s inbox

Gmail might be free, but it comes at a cost to your data. Google’s business model revolves around collecting user information to serve ads, building detailed profiles of your activity. For companies handling sensitive communications, this is a risk.

Typewire offers a clean, reliable, ad-free inbox built for business. You own your data. You control your domain. And you get all the core features you need without the complexity, tracking, or ecosystem lock-in of Gmail.

Why switch from Gmail to Typewire?

Typewire is a smarter choice for Canadians

With Typewire, your inbox is free from Big Tech’s reach. We store everything on privately owned Canadian servers, safeguarded by PIPEDA compliance and strict local privacy protections.

Your emails stay in Canada, always

Gmail stores your messages in Google’s global data centers, often outside Canada. Typewire keeps all your data on privately owned servers in Vancouver, BC, where it’s protected by Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA).

No targeted ads or hidden tracking

Google’s business model revolves around user data. Even with ad settings adjusted, Gmail collects metadata about your activity. Typewire will never scan or sell your email habits. Your conversations remain yours alone.

Privacy-first design and strong security

Typewire encrypts your messages, uses zero-access storage, and includes powerful spam and virus protection so your inbox stays secure by default.

Switching is simple

You can bring your emails, contacts, and even your custom domain over to Typewire. Our team will guide you through a smooth migration. We even have a detailed, step-by-step guide showing you how to migrate without needing to code or have any tech/web dev expertise.

Made for Canadians

Typewire’s got a place for everyone. Whether you’re a freelancer, small business, or privacy-conscious person, we offer an email service that’s fast, private, and entirely Canadian.

Features that ONLY Typewire provides you

Privacy

Gmail’s business model relies on harvesting user data for targeted ads. Even if they say they don’t “read” your messages, metadata, location, and activity patterns are still collected. Typewire never sells or shares your data, period. Your inbox stays yours.

Speed

Gmail can feel slow and cluttered, weighed down by constant interface changes and unnecessary features. Typewire keeps things streamlined, loading fast on any device without draining your battery or patience.

Simplicity

Gmail is built to keep you clicking between ads in your inbox to promotional tabs you didn’t ask for. Typewire strips away the noise so you can focus on what matters most, i.e, your emails.

Full control over your domain

Gmail gives you a custom domain only if you upgrade to Google Workspace. And even then, your domain is tied to their ecosystem. With Typewire, you can bring your own domain to any plan without any hidden upsell required.

Human support

With Gmail, you’re dealing with automated help articles and endless forums. Typewire gives you direct access to real support from a local team that understands Canadian privacy laws and can solve your issues quickly.

Plenty of storage

With Google, your email storage has to share space with Drive and Photos, which means your inbox can fill up faster than you expect. Typewire gives you storage that’s just for email, so your important messages never have to compete with your photo library.
