+## Mailcatcher
+
+Mailcatcher is a simple SMTP server that catches all emails sent by the backend during local development. Instead of sending real emails, they are captured and displayed in a web interface.
+
+This is useful for:
+
+- Testing email functionality during development
+- Verifying email content and formatting
+- Debugging email-related functionality without sending real emails
+
+The backend is automatically configured to use Mailcatcher when running with Docker Compose locally (SMTP on port 1025). All captured emails can be viewed at http://localhost:1080.
+
 **Note**: The first time you start your stack, it might take a minute for it to be ready. While the backend waits for the database to be ready and configures everything. You can check the logs to monitor it.
