Inboxer

Unofficial, free and open-source Google Gmail Desktop App

Inboxer — started out as an unofficial Inbox by Gmail client for desktop platforms. However, Google plans to discontinue Inbox at the end of March 2019 (see official announcement). To keep Inboxer alive we have converted it to work with Gmail. Inboxer is now built on top of Gmail web-version. It has pleasant UI and supports useful keyboard shortcuts.

Inboxer is highly inspired by these projects:

• Caprine by Sindre Sorhus
• Ramme by Terkel Gjervig Nielsen
• Keep by Andrey Polischuk

Check out these ones as great examples of Electron applications. All of them are under the MIT license.

All feature requests and contributions are welcome!
