openWMail Preview

Bringing Gmail & Google Inbox to the desktop in a neatly packaged app

openWMail was created to make your webmail feel right at home on your laptop or computer. It keeps the best of Gmail and Google Inbox whilst adding all those extra bits that you miss when using them in a web browser
openWMail is completely free and open-source on GitHub. If you're not just content with using openWMail there's nothing stopping you changing it and making it even better

Multiple Accounts from the start

openWMail was designed from the start with multiple accounts in mind. It allows you to switch instantly and easily between any amount of accounts. There are no limits, no waiting, no losing your tabs or getting lost between which account you're using.


Gmail & Google Inbox

No matter which type of Google account you use openWMail works for you. All you need to do is pick which type of account you want to add and sign in. If you like to mix-and-match, that's not a problem either.


Cross Platform Support

openWMail is built upon a tech stack that works across all major platforms. Whether you want to use it on OSX, Windows or Linux it works great! There's no reason to ever type gmail.com into your browser ever again

Perfectly integrated with your Operating System

Desktop Notifications

Need to know when your mail arrives? Not a problem, openWMail keeps you up to date with desktop notifications whenever you get a new message

Unread Badges

At a glace openWMail shows you how many unread messages you have in your dock or taskbar. In seconds you can know if your inbox is overflowing or at zero

Tray Access

Need to find out more about what's going on in your inbox? openWMail adds information into your tray, giving you an instant overview of your unread messages


43 dictionaries and counting

Spellchecking and corrections in your native language included by standard. Next time your A slips to an S openWMail has you covered. If you regularly use more than one language openWMail also supports suggestions and corrections in multiple languages at once


Keyboard shortcuts & integration

openWMail works hard alongside Gmail and Google Inbox to support all the keyboard shortcuts you're already used to. No need to learn anything new or use new alien combinations. Just hit C to compose


Quiet and out of the way

Only need one account and like your emails front and center? openWMail gives you the option to get out of your way and lets you choose what (if any) UI you want to see.

Built on technology you already use & trust

openWMail is built on top of technologies that you already use everyday. It does this to leverage all the hard work that developers around the world have put into their projects and to deliver the most reliable stable experience to you when you use openWMail


Chromium

The same open-source web browser used by Google Chrome, it powers everything you see and do in openWMail and gives it the stability and speed that you expect

Electron

Powering thousands of desktop apps already, the open-source electron project is built by the team at GitHub and allows openWMail to integrate seamlessly with your Operating System

React

Providing a fast responsive User Interface, openWMail uses the open-source React library from Facebook to build and provide its user interface


Customization options to suit everyone

Make openWMail work your way. Customise when your Notifications appear, how your Tray icon looks, what to do with downloaded files and much much more. Just open the settings dialog and fiddle until openWMail does exactly what you need
