Swanmail

A desktop email client that keeps your mail on your own computer.

Swanmail is an email client for macOS, Windows and Linux. It connects straight from your computer to your mail provider, stores what it downloads in a database on your computer, and has no servers or accounts of its own.

What it does

• Reads and sends mail for Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365, Fastmail, iCloud, Yahoo and any IMAP, POP3, JMAP or Exchange server.
• Signs in to Google and Microsoft accounts with their own sign-in page, so Swanmail never sees your password.
• Fast local search, rules, tags, snooze, scheduled sending and a command-line interface.
• Blocks remote images by default, warns about misleading links and shows whether a sender is verified.
• OpenPGP and S/MIME encryption and signatures.

Your data

Your mail, contacts and settings stay on your computer. Swanmail does not collect analytics and does not send your data anywhere except to the services you connect it to. The privacy policy explains exactly what it connects to and why.

Download

Swanmail is a small independent project. The latest release for macOS on Apple silicon, for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 and for Linux is on the download page, and the app keeps itself up to date from there.
