An unofficial Gmail Desktop App built with Electron

Why?

If you are only using the Gmail website like me, then is this app just for you! It's just a wrapper around the Gmail website with some magic from Electron like native notifications or unread mails badge in the dock.

• Original Gmail Interface
• Native Notifications
• Unread Inbox Count (OS X only)
• Multiple Gmail Accounts

Supported OS

• OS X 10.9+
• Windows 7+ (not tested yet)
• Linux (not tested yet)

Installation

OS X

2. Unzip it.

Development

Gmail Desktop is built with Electron.
