Airmint is a Gmail app made for the Mac.
It shows your Gmail in a native Mac window, with the menus, keyboard shortcuts and notifications you already know. Airmint connects your Mac straight to Google. There is no Airmint server in between, so we never see your mail.
Airmint is in testing and is coming to the Mac App Store. It needs macOS 26 or later and a Gmail or Google Workspace account.
What you can do
- Read
- Conversations open next to your mailbox, with quoted replies folded away. Images from the internet stay blocked until you load them, and known trackers stay blocked.
- Write
- Plain or formatted text, attachments, signatures and templates. After you press Send, a short delay lets you cancel.
- Sort
- Archive, star, label, move, snooze, mark as spam or move to Trash. You can edit Gmail filters and your vacation response in Settings.
- Search
- Search runs on Gmail, so the search operators you use on the web work here too.
- Several accounts
- Each account has its own mailboxes, and All Accounts shows them together.
- Invitations
- Answer a meeting invitation from the message, with your day's events next to it.
- Notifications
- A new-mail notification has Archive, Trash, Mark as Read and Reply buttons, and follows your Focus.
- Keyboard
- Every action is in the menu bar and has a keyboard shortcut.
What Airmint asks Google for
Google shows you these permissions when you sign in. Airmint asks for the first one when you connect an account. It asks for the others only when you turn on the feature that needs them.
| Permission | Asked when | Used to |
|---|---|---|
| Read, write and send email, and change labels | you connect an account | show your mail, save drafts, send messages, and archive, star, label or trash conversations. Airmint cannot permanently delete mail. |
| Change basic Gmail settings | you choose to manage filters or a vacation response | show and edit your Gmail filters and vacation response. |
| See and edit calendar events | you choose to answer invitations through Google Calendar | record your answer to an invitation and add the event to your calendar. |
| See your calendars | you turn on the Google Calendar agenda | show your day's events next to an invitation and in the Calendar window. Airmint only reads them. |
| See your contacts | you turn on Google Contacts suggestions | suggest people while you type a recipient. Airmint reads contacts and never changes or saves them. |
Where your data stays
Airmint saves the mail it has loaded on your Mac, so it opens fast and you can read it offline. Your sign-in is kept in the macOS Keychain.
Airmint has no server, no analytics and no advertising. We don't receive your mail, so we can't sell it, share it or use it to train AI models.
