Start onboardingGetting Started
Build your weekly brief in three steps
Set up forwarding from the newsletters you already trust, shape how the brief should think, and choose when it should arrive.

Use your unique Muno Brief address either inside your email provider for existing subscriptions or directly on newsletter signup forms for new ones.
3
Tune the output
Use persona and a steering prompt to decide how the brief sounds and what deserves more attention each week.
Learn steering promptsSet up forwarding in your email provider
There are two clean ways to send newsletters into Muno Brief: forward existing subscriptions from your inbox provider, or use your Muno Brief address directly when subscribing to new newsletters. The provider guides below cover the inbox-rule path.
We recommend setting up provider forwarding on desktop. Some email providers do not expose forwarding and rule controls in their mobile apps.
Choose the setup path that fits the newsletter
Forward existing subscriptions
Use this when a newsletter already lands in your personal inbox. Start with one sender rule, confirm it works, then expand.
Subscribe directly with your Muno Brief address
Use this when signing up for a new newsletter. Enter your Muno Brief address on the publisher's signup form so issues arrive in Muno Brief from the start.
Gmail
Filters
Gmail requires you to register the forwarding address once before you can use it in a filter.
Microsoft Outlook
Rules
Outlook uses mailbox rules and does not require a separate forwarding-address registration step.
Fastmail
Rules
Fastmail uses Filters & Rules and often works best with "Send a copy to" rather than traditional forwarding.
Proton Mail
Filters
Proton Mail supports forwarding filters, but forwarding requires a paid plan.
iCloud Mail
Rules
iCloud Mail rules are created in the web app at iCloud.com, not only from local mail clients.
Zoho Mail
Filters
Zoho Mail supports forwarding filters and may ask you to verify the destination address during setup.
Forwarding best practices
- Start with one newsletter sender first.
- Prefer specific sender rules before broad keyword filters.
- Use your exact Muno Brief forwarding address when creating rules.
- Expand only after you confirm the first rule works.
Direct signup best practices
- Use your exact Muno Brief address at signup, not an alias you may forget later.
- Start new subscriptions one at a time so you can confirm they arrive as expected.
- If a publisher sends a confirmation email, complete it so delivery can begin.

Shape how the brief thinks
The newsletters you forward define the raw material. Persona, steering prompt, and schedule define how that material is turned into a useful weekly product for you.
Persona guide
Choose the voice and framing for your brief, from analytical to technical.
Steering prompt guide
Learn how to write prompts that change emphasis, filtering, and prioritization in practical ways.
Delivery schedule guide
Pick the right weekly day, time, and timezone for how you actually consume the brief.
The simplest prompt upgrade
If your current steering prompt is broad, make it specific about decisions, signals, and noise.
Weak
Focus on AI and startups.
Better
Focus on AI and startups through the lens of pricing, distribution, and product strategy. Prioritize ideas I can apply this quarter and skip broad hype with no operating detail.
Choose a delivery schedule you will actually use
A weekly brief is most useful when it arrives inside a real review habit, not just at a technically valid time.
Day
Monday works for planning. Friday works for synthesis and catch-up.
Time
Pick a time when you can read the brief, not just receive it.
Timezone
Keep your timezone accurate so the weekly send stays aligned with your local schedule.
