Email List Maker

For Windows, macOS and Linux

Every address. One clean list.

Email List Maker finds the email addresses, and the names that go with them, in your documents, web pages and pasted text. Then it writes them as a tidy list in your format, ready to paste into any email client.

// how it works

Three steps, no copy-and-paste marathon

Collect what you have, scan it once, and take the list wherever it needs to go.

  1. 1

    Gather a source

    Add documents from your computer, web pages by address, or text you paste in: an email thread, a signature block, a spreadsheet export. Sources are saved, so you can scan them again any time.

  2. 2

    Scan it

    Every valid address is found, duplicates are merged however they're capitalized, and names that sit next to addresses come along with them.

  3. 3

    Copy or save

    Pick a delimiter, one address per line or all on one, the case, and whether to include names. Then copy the whole list, or save it as a text file.

// take a look

Simple, familiar, out of the way

Sources, formatting, a filter and the output, each one click away.

Made for the list you actually need

Any source

Text, HTML, CSV, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, saved emails and contact cards from your computer; pages from the web; or text you paste straight in. Add several at once and keep them together as a source.

Names come along

When a name sits with an address it's kept: in email headers, in web page links, in contact cards and in spreadsheet name columns.

"Okafor, Bea" <bea.okafor@example.org>
Marco Ruiz <m.ruiz@example.net>

Your format

Semicolons, commas or spaces; one per line or a single line; as found, lowercase or UPPERCASE; names in the standard form every email client understands, or always quoted.

A filter

Keep noreply@ addresses, your own team or a whole @domain out of every list. Right-click any address to add it.

Copy or save

Copy the whole list in one click, select just part of it, or save it as a text file wherever you like.

Valid addresses only

Every address is checked against the rules for email addresses, so stray punctuation, broken fragments and image names like logo@2x.png stay out. Capitalization doesn't create duplicates.

Yours alone

No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your sources and lists stay on your computer, in the app's own private folder.
