In plain words

Plain Email allows users to send simplified email messages by adding ".plain" to a recipient's email domain, which delivers only the subject line. The app automatically converts email attachments into shareable links by including "[A]" in the subject line. Users can designate a custom domain or subdomain for these links, and files are automatically deleted after a set period. The service is designed for anyone seeking streamlined email communication and file sharing.
