A desktop-first, local-first workspace for small and medium businesses — email, contacts, campaigns, tasks, calendar, automation, and security in one app, on your machine, under your control. Why this exists: Small business owners shouldn't have to duct-tape six SaaS tools together to handle one customer conversation. Your machine, your business.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm tired of renting my business data back from the cloud. So I built smeMaster — a local-first workspace for small and medium businesses that keeps everything on your machine.
Here's how it works:
One desktop app handles email (Gmail API + IMAP/SMTP), CRM, campaigns, calendar, tasks, automation, PGP encryption, and AI-assisted workflows. No more juggling six different tabs. No more wondering who owns your customer data.
Why this matters:
Your data stays on your machine — SQLite + WAL persistence, offline-first
Full PGP encryption with Sequoia OpenPGP
Built with Tauri v2 + Rust for native performance
4 languages supported (English, French, Arabic with RTL, Japanese, Italian)
MIT/Apache-2.0 licensed — use it, fork it, adapt it
The app is in v1.0.0-rc, feature-complete and compiling. Packaged releases are coming soon — watch the repo for the first builds.
Would love to hear your thoughts! What's the one SaaS tool you'd love to replace with a local-first alternative? 👇
