Mimestream

Mimestream is a native Mac and iOS app built exclusively for Gmail. It's not a wrapper — it uses Gmail APIs directly, meaning full label support, snooze, filters and Google Workspace features all work perfectly. The design is clean and responsive in a way no web-based client can match.

If you use Gmail and want a native Mac experience instead of a browser tab, Mimestream is the only tool that delivers this without compromises. The $25/yr price is excellent value.
