A calmer inbox,
on the email address
you already have.

SendPalm is a calm, local-first desktop and mobile client that connects to Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Fastmail, Feishu, QQ, NetEase, and any custom IMAP. A front desk decides who gets through, bundles fold a chatty sender into one row, and stacks keep the mail you mean to come back to — without sending your mail to a new service.

The workflow

Inbox, but shaped like real work.

Three ideas that make an inbox behave, built into a desktop app you can drop into your existing email account in under two minutes.

The Front Desk

First-time senders wait at the front desk, not in your inbox. Approve who gets through, block the rest, one message at a time or in a batch. The history view keeps every decision you ever made.

The Inbox

New for you on top, Previously seen below. Senders with three or more unread collapse into a single bundle. A read-together loop walks you through everything unread, in order.

J K O

The Stacks

Reply later, set aside, resurface. Stack mail by what you intend to do with it. Stick yellow notes on threads, save text snippets, set a follow-up and SendPalm brings the message back when the time comes.

L A Z

Connects to the email you already pay for.

SendPalm speaks standard IMAP and SMTP. No SendPalm server in the middle. Bring any account, keep your address, keep your existing folders and filters.

Privacy

Local by architecture,
not by promise.

There is no SendPalm server. Your mail lives in a SQLite file on your machine, your password lives in the system keychain, and there is nothing to leak because nothing is stored anywhere we control.

  1. 01

    Your mail is in a local SQLite file

    A single file on your Mac, at a path the OS sandbox already protects. Back it up with Time Machine, inspect it with sqlite3, move it between machines like any other document.

  2. 02

    Your IMAP password is in the system keychain

    Not in the app's preferences, not in the database, not in any file you might accidentally share. The keychain is gated by your user account and the app sandbox.

  3. 03

    There is no SendPalm sync service

    Each device has its own SQLite. Your laptop and your iPhone agree only because IMAP is the source of truth for the actual mail. Sticky notes, stacks and labels are local — we say so instead of glossing over it.

The same calm on the Mac and on the iPhone.

The same warm paper background, the same palm green accent, the same j/k keys. Mobile is full-screen, desktop has the sidebar, the shortcuts are one set.
