What is Stello?
Stello is a desktop app for sending newsletters, with a focus on simplicity and security.
What can Stello do?
What do I need to know?
1. Stello is primarily a tool rather than a service
We don't send messages for you like Mailchimp does, you send them yourself... using Stello.
2. Stello is limited by your email account
It can send as many messages as your email account allows, which is usually between 100-300 per day for free accounts (more for paid accounts). Stello makes it easy to get around that limit by letting you resume sending the next day when the limit resets.
3. Stello stores all your data on your device
So you can't login on another device, and you're responsible for backing up your own computer.
4. Stello enhances your existing security
Stello is only as strong as the method you use to send messages (which is usually email) but it will provide you with message expiration, retraction, and encrypted responses.
Should I use Stello?
