Hirundo

Hirundo is the go-to app for folks in the Swift community who want to make navigating mailing lists a breeze. If you've ever tried sifting through these lists, you know it can be a bit of a headache. But with Hirundo, you can easily check out all those discussions right from a native macOS app that’s super user-friendly.

Why Choose Hirundo?

When you first open up Hirundo, it prompts you to load one or more Swift mailing lists. What’s cool is that it uses an SMTP server to cache conversations throughout the day, so you don't have to wait around for updates. It’s all about keeping you in the loop!

No Subscription Needed!

You won’t need to subscribe to any mailing lists either! All data is available to everyone using Hirundo, and there’s no account sign-up required. Just download and dive right in!

User-Friendly Interface

The interface is clean and easy to use. You can pick your favorite mailing lists, search for specific authors, or even create complex filters—all from a handy side panel. And if you're not into clutter, you can hide that side panel whenever you want.

Sort Your Threads

Once you're in, you'll see all the threads imported from your chosen mailing list. You can sort them by date, rank, subject, or author—whatever makes sense for you! Plus, if there are threads you're not interested in, just mute them or search for specific content.

Display Options Galore

The messages can be shown continuously by date or organized in a tree format so you can view replies easily. This way, following conversations feels much more manageable.

Email Made Easy

While sending messages directly through Hirundo isn’t an option yet, it does let you jump straight into your Mail app with everything set up for replying. Super convenient!

Bookmark Your Favorites

You can also bookmark messages or threads that catch your eye and save them in folders you've created yourself. It's perfect for keeping track of important discussions.

A Must-Have App

If you're part of the Swift mailing lists and want an easier way to browse through discussions without all the fuss, Hirundo is definitely worth checking out!
