Inboxed

What Inboxed is
Inboxed is a macOS desktop email client that summarizes messages locally with language models. It automatically creates email summaries, categorizes receipts, and can work offline. The Mac app runs 7B+ parameter Llama 3 and Mistral models on Apple Silicon through llama.cpp, using Apple Metal for local execution. Mail connections include direct IMAP and Google fetching; the privacy policy names Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP. Authentication uses OAuth, credentials are kept in macOS Keychain, and data is stored in local SQLite. Email content is processed on the Mac rather than sent to Inboxed servers or third-party AI providers. The homepage states zero telemetry and analytics, while the privacy policy allows anonymous crash or basic usage telemetry with an opt-out. Inboxed is built with Rust and Tauri v2. The Apple Silicon download is labeled Alpha. Standard is free; Pro Lifetime costs $1 a month, billed $1 / life with no subscriptions.
