I really love Superhuman Mail, but the redesigned iOS inbox currently uses too much vertical space. This makes it difficult to scan a large inbox quickly because relatively few messages are visible on the screen at once. I don’t know if this is a bug per se, but it now seems like I see fewer messages on my iPhone screen than in the previous version.

I would really appreciate an option to **reduce the height of each inbox row** , ideally with controls for how much preview text is displayed.

For example, it would be extremely helpful to have options such as:

- **Compact:** sender + subject, with little or no preview text - one line or two lines max
- **Default:** the current layout
- **Comfortable:** more preview text / spacing

Or even better, simply allow users to choose the number of preview lines shown beneath each message.

The current layout gives quite a lot of vertical space to each message, which means I can only see a relatively small number of emails at once. For people who use their inbox as a high-volume triage tool, **being able to see more messages at a glance is extremely valuable**.

This is particularly noticeable on iPhone (16 Pro, in my case), where screen real estate is limited. A compact option would make the new iOS app feel substantially faster and more information-dense without requiring any change to the underlying functionality.

**Please consider adding an inbox density / compact view setting.** It would be great to be able to choose how much information I see per message rather than having the row height determined entirely by the current design.

Thank you!
