Messages of yours on our servers. Not one
Clean by design

Everything you need from mail. Nothing in the way.

Threads that read like a conversation

No walls of quoted replies. Each message is a clean bubble, newest at the bottom, with the reply field docked right underneath — read, type, send.

Can you make Thursday 3pm instead?
Thursday works. Sending a new invite.
⌘↩ sent · 2:14 pm
Search that keeps up with you

Press ⌘K and search every account and folder at once — senders, subjects, message text, attachment names. The index lives on your Mac, so results don't wait on a server and work offline.

Every account, one clean window

Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Yahoo or any IMAP server in one unified inbox. A colour ring on each avatar shows which account a message belongs to, and every account keeps its own unread count.

Dark when you are

Light, dark, or System — which follows your Mac and turns with it at sunset. Designed mail keeps its own light card either way, so a receipt or a newsletter still looks the way its sender built it.

Know what needs you. Know what's fake.

Four new features in the next build, all worked out on your Mac — none of your mail is sent anywhere to be read.

Codes, copied from the banner

When a sign-in code arrives, the notification shows it with a Copy Code button, so you never open the message. Magic sign-in links get Open Link, and a used code tidies itself into the archive.

Warnings before you click

bytemail checks who really sent a message, spots look-alike domains and brand impersonation, and asks before opening a link that goes somewhere other than it says. Report as Spam or Block Sender right from the warning.

To Reply

A smart mailbox of the conversations where someone is waiting on you — questions and requests, not newsletters or receipts. Answer from any device and it leaves the list.

Summaries, replies and Rewrite

On macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence, long threads get a short summary of what's asked of you, a few suggested replies, and Rewrite to shorten, soften or translate what you wrote. All of it runs on your Mac.

New in 0.4

Take it back, keep them out, never lose a thread.

Undo Send

Every message waits a few seconds before it leaves — 5 to 30, or off. Press Undo or ⌘Z and the composer comes back with your text and attachments. Archive, trash and move can be undone too.

Tracking pixels, blocked

Tracking pixels are found and removed before a message is shown, even when you load images, and tracking codes are cleaned from the links you open.

One-click unsubscribe

An Unsubscribe button on every mailing list, using the standard one-click request where the sender supports it. Settings › Subscriptions lists every sender with a count, so the noisy ones are easy to spot.

Invitations you can answer

Calendar invites show as a card with the time in your zone, location and guests. Accept, Maybe or Decline replies to the organizer, and Add to Calendar puts it in Apple Calendar.

Remind me if no reply

Pick 1 day, 3 days, a week or a date when you send. If nobody answers by then, the conversation comes back to the top of your inbox. If they reply, the reminder quietly goes away.

Rules that run as mail arrives

Match on sender, subject, text, attachments or mailing list, then move, archive, mark read or trash. New mail is filed on the server before it reaches your inbox.

Everyday, done well

The little things, all there on day one.

Instant delivery New mail is pushed over IMAP IDLE the moment it lands, with native notifications and a Dock badge. A catch-up sync runs after sleep or a network change.
Snooze until it matters Send a conversation away until this evening, Friday or a date you pick. It comes back on top, unread, on any Mac signed into that account.
Send later Write now, deliver at the hour you choose. An optional background helper sends it and wakes snoozed mail even when bytemail is closed.
A composer that stays out of the way Bold, italic, lists and text sizes, attachments by drag and drop, drafts saved as you type — and mirrored to your account's Drafts folder so your phone sees them too.
Smart tabs All, Primary, Updates and Promos, sorted on your Mac, each with its own unread count — plus an unread-only switch for a calmer list.
A signature per account Work signs off one way, personal another. Optional on replies, and removable on any single message.
Real sender pictures Photos from your Mac's Contacts and brand icons from senders' own sites, with initials as the fallback.
Send from any of your addresses Add aliases to an account, each with its own signature and Reply-To. Replies go out from the address the mail was sent to.
The everyday essentials Reply All and Forward, flags, move to any folder by dragging, multi-select, templates, Quick Look for attachments, print to PDF, and mute or block.
Native, all the way down

Built in Swift, for the Mac, and nothing else.

bytemail is SwiftUI and AppKit from the first line. There's no browser engine bundled inside — far less to load and far less to keep in memory — so it launches quickly and scrolls smoothly. Notifications, the Keychain, the Dock badge and keyboard shortcuts are the system's own — it looks and behaves like it belongs on your Mac.

Language Swift
Interface SwiftUI + AppKit
Bundled browser engine None
Notifications & Dock badge macOS native
Credentials macOS Keychain
Summaries & Rewrite On-device model
Private by architecture

We don't store your mail. We never even see it.

bytemail connects your Mac straight to Gmail, iCloud, Outlook or your IMAP server. There's no bytemail cloud in between — no messages, contacts, passwords or usage data on our servers, because there's nowhere for them to go.

No server of ours Your Mac connects to your provider directly. There is no relay, no sync host, no account to create with us.
Keychain credentials Passwords and OAuth tokens live in the macOS Keychain, read only at connection time.
Local index, local rules Search, smart categories, mail rules, To Reply and phishing checks run on-device. Summaries and Rewrite use Apple's on-device model. Nothing is sent to a cloud to be read.
Trackers stripped Tracking pixels are removed before a message is shown, even when you load images, and tracking codes are cleaned from the links you open.
No analytics No telemetry, no crash pings unless you press Send on a report you can read first.
