Subject
Native. Standard. Private.

A macOS mail client that doesn't ask you to trust anyone in between.

Standard IMAP and SMTP — any provider, no lock-in. OpenPGP built in, not bolted on. Native SwiftUI, not a browser wearing a window frame.

The state of things

Every macOS mail client makes you give something up.

Who covers it today
What you lose
Native SwiftUI
Mimestream
Gmail only, no standard IMAP
OpenPGP included
Canary Mail, eM Client
Paid add-on, or not native to Mac at all
No third-party cloud

Outlook routes even IMAP accounts through Microsoft
Passive key discovery
Thunderbird
Not native macOS; Autocrypt auto-suggest needs a separate, immature add-on
All three, together

Nothing you weren't already giving up elsewhere
Why it's possible

Three decisions, held without compromise.

RFC 3501

Standard IMAP/SMTP

Any provider that speaks the protocol — self-hosted, iCloud, or otherwise. No proprietary API required.

OpenPGP

Encryption as a citizen

Verification and encryption live in the core, not a plugin you install and hope keeps working.

Apple Silicon

Actually native

SwiftUI, not Electron or .NET. Fast to open, light to run, feels like it belongs on your Mac.

One app, two readings

Simple by default. As deep as you want, on demand.

Simple
  • Read and write email
  • Clean inbox, no clutter
  • Nothing technical in view
NERD
  • Expanded headers, raw source
  • DKIM / SPF badges
  • PGP keyring, config export
Composing

Know when it ships.
