The harmon.ie desktop app

More space, more control, and background email automation

The harmon.ie desktop app gives your team a full Windows workspace for Microsoft 365 content, and it runs email automation in the background for consistent, organization-wide capture. The first automation features are now available in beta.

Included in every New harmon.ie license. Deploy now and be ready to activate automation the moment it goes live.

Unlock automated email saving

Automations run in the New harmon.ie Outlook add-in while Outlook is open. The desktop app is designed to run them in the background, so capture can continue even when Outlook is closed.

For organizations that need complete, consistent email capture without depending on whether someone has Outlook open, the desktop app is built to provide far more reliable coverage.

The first automation features are here, now in beta:

Automatic conversation saving

Save one email in a conversation, then tell harmon.ie to keep that conversation in the same SharePoint location. Every future reply is captured there automatically.

Shared categories

See at a glance what you and your colleagues have already saved, and where. No more duplicate saves, no more “did anyone file this?”

Suggested automation rules

harmon.ie learns from how you file. When it notices you repeatedly save emails from the same sender to the same location, it offers to turn that into an automatic rule.

Upcoming automation features:

Additional automation rules

Create rules based on subject line, email content, category, and more

Bulk upload from a folder

Hand a batch of emails to harmon.ie and they upload to SharePoint in the background while you keep working.

Improved Automation Dashboard

Manage your rules, resolve errors, and review an activity log in one place.

AI-powered filing via Copilot

Email importance detection, location recommendations, and context-aware filing suggestions through Microsoft 365 Copilot integration.

Find anything instantly with Copilot-powered search

Ask in plain language and get the right file, email, or content — faster.

File explorer for Microsoft 365

A dedicated window: browse SharePoint libraries, Teams channels, and OneDrive folders with the space to navigate, manage content, and view or edit document properties comfortably
File Explorer-like layout (coming): the desktop app is designed around the familiar Windows File Explorer structure, with a tree view on the left, file list in the middle, and preview pane on the right, with everything visible at once
Works independently of Outlook: users can manage files, apply metadata, and access Microsoft 365 content without Outlook open, making it a tool for document-centric workflows, not just email saving

Advanced file management

Open in associated desktop app: open PDFs and emails directly in their native desktop applications from within harmon.ie. Support for all file types is coming, so every file opens in the right application without going through the browser
Save as: download any SharePoint file to a location of your choice on your machine
Full copy, cut, and paste: copy or cut any file and paste it to any location across SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive, into Windows File Explorer or directly into an email
Compare Word documents (coming): compare two versions of a Word document side by side without leaving harmon.ie
Convert email to PDF (coming): convert emails saved in SharePoint to PDF directly from harmon.ie

No additional cost. Already part of your license.

The desktop app is included in every New harmon.ie license, the same license that covers the Outlook add-in. There is nothing extra to purchase and no separate agreement to sign.

Simple, centralized deployment

The desktop app deploys centrally via Microsoft Intune. Your existing harmon.ie configuration applies. Updates are automatic.
