Today we’re thrilled to introduce ColiMail, an ultra-light desktop email client built to stay fast regardless of inbox size. Our mission is simple: let you index, search, and triage thousands of messages instantly without sacrificing privacy.
Privacy First, Always
ColiMail runs fully on your device. Messages, metadata, and even OAuth tokens live in local storage and the OS keychain. There are no analytics scripts, telemetry endpoints, or background sync services phoning home.
Your email is yours—and it stays on your machine.
Lightning Fast Search
Our Rust-powered indexer can handle massive inboxes without breaking a sweat. Whether you have 10,000 or 100,000 messages, search results appear instantly.
Key features:
- Full-text search across all your messages
- Smart filtering by sender, date, or folder
- Offline-first - works without an internet connection
- Zero lag - no spinner, no waiting
What’s Next
Over the next few releases we’ll share deep dives into:
- Our Rust-powered indexer - How we achieve instant search at scale
- Offline-first design principles - Building features that work without a network
- Security roadmap - Optional mailbox encryption and advanced safeguards
