Google Inbox

Google Inbox is a super handy email web app that helps you get more done. It lets you snooze messages, group similar emails, and see important ones at a glance. Plus, it has a clean, modern look that makes it easy to use!

Using Google Inbox on Your Mac

When you're using your Mac, you'll need to hop into a web browser to access this service. A little downside? You won’t get desktop notifications. But don't worry! This native OS X app lets you open Google Inbox right from your desktop and even sends alerts through the Dock and Notification Center.

A Closer Look at the App

So what’s cool about this app? Well, it's basically a wrapper around the Google web app built with Electron. It gives you nearly all the same features as the online version. The interface looks almost identical too, except for that sleek dark-themed sidebar which is pretty awesome.

No Learning Curve Here!

If you’ve used Google Inbox before, you’ll feel right at home with this app! There’s no learning curve whatsoever. However, it would be nice if they added some more themes for variety.

Stay Updated with Notifications

A big bummer for many users is that Google Inbox doesn’t support desktop alerts. But here's the good news: this native OS X app has two types of notifications to keep you in the loop! First off, it shows a badge on the Dock icon so you can easily see how many unread messages are waiting for your attention.

Your Alert System

The app also works with your Notification Center and can pop up desktop alerts whenever new emails come in. So you won’t miss anything important!

The Right Choice for Google Fans

This application is perfect for anyone who enjoys using Google Inbox but wants all the perks of a native OS X app. It would be great if future updates allowed managing multiple accounts at once, but if that's not something you need, you'll find that Inbox does everything just fine!
