Minimal Newsletter: a free newsletter template
Free, downloadable newsletter template. Black text on white, thick borders, system fonts, zero images. Built for the newsletter that trusts the links.
No hero photo, no color, no custom font, just black borders and Times/Arial doing the entire job: Raw is the deliberately unstyled newsletter, the aesthetic behind the indie tech digests that never bothered with a design system because the links were always the point.
Copy for AI puts this whole template on your clipboard. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or whichever LLM you work in and have it rework the email however you wish: the copy, the colors, any part of the layout. It stays a real, sendable email the whole time.
Download HTML hands you the same email as a file, ready to send as-is. Free either way: no signup, nothing gated behind an email address, and every template works for the newsletter and for regular mail alike.
