About:
Gmail Desktop is an unofficial, cross-platform application that wraps the Gmail web interface into a standalone desktop app. It provides native desktop notifications, a dedicated window, and system tray integration for a more streamlined experience. The app aims to replicate the feel of a native application while leveraging the full feature set of the web version.
Key Features:
  • Native desktop notifications
  • System tray integration and dock badges
  • Keyboard shortcuts for app navigation
  • Dedicated window without browser UI clutter
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
Use Cases:
  • Managing Gmail without keeping a full browser open
  • Separating work email from personal browsing sessions
  • Users who prefer desktop app workflows over web apps
Alternatives:
  • Mailplane – Paid, feature-rich alternative for macOS with advanced multi-account support
  • Wavebox – Freemium workspace app that supports Gmail and many other web services
  • Native macOS Mail app – Built-in client using IMAP/SMTP, lacks some Gmail-specific features like labels
