I've also thought about starting with an OAuth scope that allows all operations except permanently deleting email, and asking the user to re-authenticate and upgrade their scope the first time they try to permanently delete something. Even if I made source available, the typical user has no guarantee that it matches the binary they're installing from the App Store. look at Epic sneaking in an alternate payment system).

At the end of the day, if you install an app from the App Store, you place trust in the developer. I have thought about this a fair bit, and thought about eventually turning this into a 'source-available' model (but not yet, I'd at least like to be fully launched on both App Stores first and have some user-base).

This is a very fair concern, and I sympathize with it a lot. If I could do that, I could easily see myself paying $100 for that, especially if it has a companion ipad/iphone app. And then have a view where I can select how many messages from each section are visible at once (like in Gmail's multiple inbox view). So if I could customize the interface with the searches I want and in the order I want, that would be ideal. Then the last section is my 'todo' section, things I have to respond to that will take more than a minute. The rest I try to triage by skimming once a day and cleaning once a week. The first section is my triage section, and the only one whose unread count I care about. Ideally I would split up updates and social. The only reason it's like that is because gmail limits you to five sections. In:inbox -l:important (is:updates OR is:social) In:inbox -l:important -is:updates -is:promotions -is:social My currently gmail inbox looks like this: It doesn't seem to support priority inbox, which is critical to my workflow. This looks great!! It's beautiful and lightening fast. That level of sophistication seems less guaranteed from a small company, and it's completely invisible to you as a user. Google probably has serious policies/systems in place for preventing a curious (or disgruntled) employee from reading your unencrypted email. A larger bug surface, as the service could potentially accidentally expose your data to another user (and this sort of bug _has_ happened in the past to others). A larger attack surface (the intermediary service) for an adversary to take advantage of, and one that is probably less hardened than Gmail In my opinion, there are still several practical security/privacy downsides to apps that run intermediary services with access to (or copies of) your email: This being said, you are totally correct, when you use any closed-source app like this that you did not build yourself, you are placing trust in the developer, and you are wise to be cautious. In Mimestream's case, it is :/oauthredirect, which is a custom scheme registered with macOS by the app, so macOS shows you the 'Do you want to allow this page to open Mimestream' prompt. One tip - on the Google OAuth sign-in page, you can inspect the URL's query component to see the redirectURL parameter, and you'll see where Google will send the token. There's definitely no Mimestream-run service component with access tokens to your account. Tokens are granted to the app running on your Mac, not a service. I hope you enjoy trying out the beta, and I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Mimestream is free for a limited time during the public beta, but will eventually be a paid app by the time it gets to the Mac App Store. There are no intermediary servers with access to your account or copies of your messages. The app is a traditional email client that makes direct connections to Gmail and stores your data on your Mac. I'm planning a lot more work in this area, including server-side filter configuration, Google Drive support, G Suite directory autocomplete, and more. Mimestream differs from other email clients because it uses the Gmail API rather than IMAP, so it supports more Gmail-specific features like categorized inboxes, Gmail's search operators, first-class labels support (apply multiple via ⌘L, set colors, etc), synced aliases, synced signatures, etc.

Mimestream's advantages over using the Gmail web interface includes features like multiple accounts, a unified inbox, system notifications, swipe actions, dark mode, (some) offline support, tracker prevention, multiple keyboard shortcut sets, and more. It's designed to be fast, lightweight, and use a minimal amount of disk space. Mimestream is written in Swift, and uses AppKit+SwiftUI for a clean, stock appearance. Hi HN! In the past, I spent over 7 years working on Apple Mail, and today I am really excited to share a new email client I'm building: Mimestream, a native macOS email client for Gmail.
