A dark-mode macOS email concept exploring how to keep an inbox manageable while a reply is in progress. I placed message browsing and composition side by side, preserving the wider inbox context as users write.
Filters for Needs reply, Waiting and Mentions offer a task-based route through messages, alongside folders and personal labels. Sender names and subjects lead each row, with quieter previews and timestamps providing supporting context.
The composer groups recipients, message content and attachments, with formatting controls positioned beside selected text. Layered charcoal surfaces distinguish active messages and editable fields, carrying the light-mode workflow into a dark palette while retaining the same layout and interaction patterns.
