## Best for

Small teams that want an email client and Notion-style workspace in one place, with agents that can act across it.

## Why it deserves attention

Macro replaces a stack of tools with one workspace: connected email accounts sit beside docs, tasks, chat, calls, CRM, and agent threads, and @-links and one search tie everything together. The company open-sourced the whole product under AGPL-3.0 (6,000+ GitHub stars, #1 on GitHub Trending) and offers a hosted version with a free tier, Pro at $40 per seat, and Max at $200. The hosted service is the polished path; self-hosting the open-source edition still takes real operational work, and the free tier limits AI usage and connected mailboxes.
