Simplifying Hey Email’s Imbox

Updated: Dec 20, 2021


Hey.com Email Imbox with simple cover arts

I’ve been waiting on custom domains from Hey to jump on the critically acclaimed email service.


I don’t always agree with Hey’s design aesthetic, but am loving the service like many others.


One example: I don’t want previously read emails cluttering my Imbox (no, that’s not a typo). It’s not obvious, but you can hide previously read emails with their Cover Art feature.


They offer six fun abstract cover art patterns, but I want something cleaner so I made a solid image that matches the screen background so it always looks like one big Imbox.


I did this on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad Hey app.


Here are the hex colors for each device:

  • Mac: 27323E

  • iPhone/iPad: 1B2834
