Outpost

Every Gmail and Google Calendar account you answer to, in one window, worked from the keys.

A desktop client for people with more than one Google account. Mail from all of them lands in one inbox, colour-coded by account; their calendars merge into one week. Then single keys do the work.

4 unread · Six messages waiting on three accounts.

Sample messages. Click the inbox and press E, H or S, or tap the keys.

Every account. One desk.

Work, home, the side project: each Google account keeps its own name and colour, and they share one list grouped by when the mail arrived. Filter down to a single account when you need to, and search across all of them at once.

Long threads collapse to a line per reply and fold away quoted text, so you read the conversation rather than fifteen copies of it.

Every verb has a key.

Anything you'd reach for the mouse to do has a letter. Forget one and ⌘K finds the action, with its shortcut beside it for next time. Select a run of threads with Space and one key clears the lot, a single request per account.

The week sits on the same desk.

Every connected Google Calendar in one view, colour-matched to its account: day, week, month or any number of days, with extra time zones down the side. Open an event to see who has replied and join the call. On a Mac, one click on the menu-bar icon shows the rest of today without raising a window.

Put it off. Properly.

Press H and a thread leaves the inbox, then returns to the top at the moment you chose. Send later holds a message until the time you set.

Both are written into Gmail as [Outpost] labels, and a scheduled message stays an ordinary Gmail draft until it goes, so gmail.com and your phone see exactly what Outpost sees.

Stays a real Gmail draft until it sends, so nothing is held anywhere you can't see it.

Always on watch.

The rest of what Outpost does, plainly.

Live
New mail arrives while the window is open, and a native notification opens the thread it's about.
Tray
Close the window and Outpost keeps listening from the menu bar or system tray.
Search
A person, a domain or a phrase, searched across every account at once, with recent searches a key away.
Bulk
Select a run of threads, then clear, label or bin the lot, with progress you can navigate away from.
Mail links
Make Outpost your default mail app and any email link on the machine opens a prefilled draft.
Images
Remote images can stay off, so tracking pixels in marketing mail never load.
Contacts
Recipient autocomplete draws on your Google contacts as you type an address.

Before you sign on.

Outpost keeps a synced copy of your mail and calendar on its own server, which is how it stays current and knows when to notify you. Google access is held by the Delacour sign-in service; the app on your computer never holds your Google tokens.

Windows will warn you first: the installer isn't code-signed yet. The Windows download walks you through the two clicks past SmartScreen.

  1. 1InstallDownload for your Mac or PC and open Outpost.
  2. 2Sign inUse your Delacour account, with an emailed code or with Google.
  3. 3ConnectGrant Gmail, Calendar and Contacts access for each Google account you add. Add every one you answer to.

Every inbox. One operator.

For macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel, and Windows. Bring every Google account you have.
