A tiny Gmail client for Mac to retrieve notifications.
I think browser is already the best Gmail client, but I couldn't be notified of the new email if I don't open the browser. The desktop notification in Gmail's setting doesn't work for me, so I decided to write an app which could inform me when I have new email, that's it.
A week ago I knew nothing about Swift / SwiftUI / AppKit, but now I succeeded in making this tiny app out. Though I still know little about Swift / SwiftUI / AppKit, though I'm pretty sure there are a lot of bugs in it, it works! That's enough for me.
Macos >= 12.0 required, tested on 12.6.3
You need to follow Oauth2 to generate your own Info.plist and add your gmail account to the whitelist.
Apply for serving this app to all users seems quite troublesome according to Google's requirement, maybe I'll do this later and release a .dmg version.
The G on the top-left corner displays the app status:
The Moon beside the title is used to change app theme, currently light / dark mode is available.
The Envelop on the top-right corner is used to open Gmail in browser.
Fetching avatar is asynchronouse, if it fails, you can click the default avatar to fetch it again.
As displayed.
The Number indicates how many emails are unread.
Click it to get authorization from Gmail, also you can get another account's authorization.
Click it to raise an issue / donate / etc.
Exit the app.
This app is based on Google's GIDSignIn, it only supports one account. If you need to support multiple accounts, GTMAppAuth is a choice. Cause I don't have plenty of time now, maybe I'll support this later.
