- For
- Privacy-conscious Gmail users who prefer keyboard-driven desktop software
- Worth noticing
- Mail is stored in a local SQLite file; the homepage says there is no server or telemetry.
Field notes
The homepage uses a sample inbox to demonstrate navigation, labels, snoozing, draft counts, and reversible actions before asking visitors to try their own mail. Its central storage claim is unusually concrete: mail resides in a SQLite file on the user’s disk, while the page says there is no server or telemetry. AI assistance is optional and requires the user to supply a key; the project is currently framed as a developer preview built from source.
