Hi all! Today, we are excited to officially launch Mimestream: a new kind of email client built specifically for Gmail. Unlike other clients that use the IMAP protocol, Mimestream uses the Gmail API for a lightweight and zippy experience. This enables integration with many Gmail-specific features, like inbox categories, labels, filters, one-click calendar invitation responses, Gmail search operators, sending via aliases, synced signatures, fetching public Google profile photos, configuring vacation responses, and much more. Compared to using Gmail in the browser, Mimestream integrates much more deeply into your Mac. You'll have the app in your dock, receive system notifications for new messages, enjoy a beautiful dark mode, be able to use trackpad swipe gestures, can share files through the app, use the system markup service to annotate images, insert images from continuity camera, and more. But most importantly: Mimestream is much better at handling multiple accounts than juggling multiple tabs. You can use the unified inbox to merge multiple accounts together, or use profiles to keep them as separate tabs, with separate working hours, and even integrate them with your macOS Focus state. Today's launch culminates a long public beta with 167,000 users. During this time, we released 220+ updates, made 2500+ improvements, added 100+ new features, and grew the company from just me to a team of 5, while remaining bootstrapped. Pricing for the app is $4.99/month or $49.99/year with a 14-day free trial. The LAUNCH code takes 40% of the first year. Prior to founding Mimestream, I worked at Apple for over 7 years. I started my career there working on Mail for the first iPad, then built the first version of Notes for macOS. Later, I managed a software engineering team working on Mail and Notes.
