Hi everyone ?
I'm Neil, the developer of Mimestream, a lightweight native Gmail client for macOS. Mimestream is now in public beta, and looking for more beta testers! If you're interested, visit https://mimestream.com, enter your email address to request access, and you'll instantly get a download link.
Mimestream is made for Mac (written in Swift, using AppKit), optimized for Gmail, and takes a lightweight approach focused on speed. Because Mimestream uses the Gmail API, Mimestream offers some features that traditional email clients using IMAP can't, such as:
– Categorized Inbox ?
– True support for labels (with synced colors) ?
– Signature syncing ?
– Alias syncing ?
and more, still on the way!
Mimestream takes a firm stance on privacy, and stores your data and credentials only on your device. There are no intermediary servers, and the app makes direct connections from your Mac to Gmail. Your email is not collected or even analyzed on-device for marketing purposes by Mimestream.
Once 1.0 is released, Mimestream will be a paid app. Pricing has not yet been set, but there will be free trial, and licensing will have two options: (A) A one-time purchase, or (B) A small monthly subscription. Mimestream requires macOS Catalina. Updates are generally released 1-2x a week, and release notes can be viewed online. If you don't use Gmail, stay tuned, because support for additional services is planned in the future.
A little about me: In the past, I used to work at Apple on Mail for 7.5 years, and after a detour, I decided that I missed writing software and working on email. I wrote Mimestream to be my ideal Gmail experience on macOS, and I'm working on this full time now!
Please send any feedback to feedback@mimestream.com, and you'll reach me directly. Your feedback helps me make a better Mac app!
Thank you! ?
