Why Abiat

Your inbox stays yours.

A real desktop app — not another browser tab. Built on Rust and a native window, so it's fast, private, and always feels at home on your Mac.

Native, not a tab

Built with Tauri and Rust into a real macOS window — frosted-glass vibrancy, system fonts, and instant launch. It feels like Apple built it.

Instant, push mail

IMAP IDLE pushes new messages the second they arrive — no polling, no waiting. Your inbox is always live the moment you look.

Your data, your device

Mail is cached locally in SQLite and your tokens live in the OS Keychain. Sign in with Google over OAuth — nothing routes through our servers.

  • Mail cached locally — never on our servers
  • Tokens stored in OS Keychain
  • OAuth 2.0 sign-in only — no passwords stored
  • Sandboxed HTML rendering for every email
Local-first

Data stays on your device.

Abiat is designed with local-first principles. Your email and calendar data is fetched directly from Google's servers and cached in a local SQLite database on your device. Abiat never routes your email content through its own servers.

Built for speed

Designed for people who move fast.

Every detail is tuned for momentum — a focused three-pane flow, detachable tabs, rich compose, and search that keeps up with you.

The workflow

A three-pane flow that never gets in your way.

Sidebar, conversation list, and reading pane — resizable and collapsible. Triage from the list, read in place, and keep your whole inbox a glance away.

  • Virtualized list stays smooth across thousands of threads
  • Unread dots, conversation counts, and sort the way you think
  • Sandboxed HTML rendering keeps every email safe

Tabs & windows

Open everything in tabs. Pop any one out.

Work across messages and drafts in a tidy tab strip — then drag a tab right out into its own window. Reply on one screen while you read on another.

  • Detachable, drag-out windows that stay in sync
  • Read and compose side by side, your way

Compose

Write beautifully, without leaving the keyboard.

A rich-text editor with bold, italics, lists, code, links, color, and highlights — plus live word, character, and line counts and drag-and-drop attachments.

  • Full text color & highlight palette
  • Live word, character, and line counts

Search

Find anyone, and anything, instantly.

Full-text search with debounced typing, your recent history, and people autocomplete. Matches are highlighted inline so the right message jumps out.

  • People & contact suggestions as you type
  • Recent searches, one keystroke away
