A local-first terminal client for reading, searching, triaging, and sending Gmail from a single static binary.

Why it surfaced

Postline talks directly to Google’s API with no server in the middle, stores tokens in the operating system keychain, and offers a full demo mode before account connection. Its deliberately narrow permissions, text-only HTML mail handling, and home-row controls give this small v0.1.1 tool a clear point of view.
