New Tuta features you’ll love - calendar widget on iOS & smarter email search!

Updates are coming to Tuta by the week so let's check what has changed recently.

All Tuta apps now come with partial word search - and a better search UI!

Your search in Tuta has just seen an amazing - and much requested - update: It now includes partial word search, and it comes with an amazing new UI that highlights the search term so that you can find what you are looking for faster! The Tuta Calendar widget has also seen nice improvements, and we've released a brand-new widget for iPhones and iPads. Let's dive into everything that's new with your encrypted email and calendar apps.


We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring you updates that make your private life just a little easier and more joyful. So without further ado, here’s what’s new in Tuta Mail and Tuta Calendar.

Spoiler: If you haven’t already, you’re going to want to update your apps ASAP.

The search in Tuta has always been something special - and thus a bit complicated. And to be honest, a bit too complicated for our taste. So, we’ve sat down to re-do our encrypted search feature - which protects your privacy via an encrypted search index.

And we are so excited we did this because the result feels simply amazing! So, here’s what’s new:

✅ Partial word search

✅ Better looks 💃 💃 💃

✅ Improved performance

There’s no need to remember the exact word anymore. If you’re looking for that email about encryptionist, typing just encrypt will now do the trick.

But if you do want exact results, just use quotes, for examples if you’re looking for “exactly this sentence” – you will find an email containing these words exactly.

Please note: Partial word search is only possible in the mobile and desktop apps, not in the web client when accessing Tuta via a browser. Another reason why we recommend choosing our free desktop clients over the browser version.

Mail and Contacts only: For now, partial word search is not yet available for the Tuta Calendar.

Better looks and search highlighting

Your search term now lights up for better visibility in:

  • The email list
  • The subject
  • The body
  • The sender and recipient fields

So you can spot what you need faster than ever.

CJK + Arabic

You can now search in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and even Arabic - thanks to our new SQLite-powered search index.

Better UI

In addition to the highlighting of search terms, we’ve pulled the search filters out of hiding (aka the side menu) and put them where they belong - right where you can see them: Search filters are now below the search field on mobile, but still in the side menu on desktop. Search in Tuta has never been easier or faster.
