Today
Start with decisions, not an unread count.
The Today workspace brings reply obligations, follow-ups, cleanup signals, and review items into one focused queue built from your local cache.
Local-first desktop client for Gmail
Your Gmail, under your control.
Dumka Mail turns a local Gmail cache into a focused daily workflow—with explainable suggestions, reviewable actions, and no hosted mail backend.
Runs on your computerConnects directly to GoogleActions stay reviewable
Open source · Early alphaMail that stays yours.
A calmer operating layer for email
Built around the next useful decision.
Dumka Mail keeps mailbox context visible while helping you decide what deserves attention, what can wait, and what should happen next.
Calendar
Keep the schedule beside the conversation.
Calendar stays in the same keyboard-first workspace as mail, with a day view, agenda context, and read-only availability search before you create or change an event.
Cleanup
Reduce inbox noise with a reviewable plan.
Cleanup analysis is computed locally. Sender-level suggestions show their evidence and proposed result before an archive or unsubscribe action can be approved.
Automation with a visible brake pedal
Nothing consequential should feel mysterious.
Suggestions are grounded in source mail. The app shows what it proposes, why, and which account it affects before the action enters your workflow.See the complete data-handling policy →- 1Inspect local evidence
Relevant messages and cached state explain why an item surfaced.
- 2Prepare a bounded proposal
The intended action, scope, risk, and source remain visible.
- 3You decide what happens
Review queues, draft state, and shadow-mode rules preserve control.
Data flow, without hand-waving
Your mailbox is not routed through a Dumka Mail cloud.
The desktop app talks directly to Google APIs. Mail, drafts, settings, and indexes are stored in the app's local database on your device.Google accountGmail, optional Calendar and Contacts

Questions worth asking
Trust is a product feature.
Does Dumka Mail upload my entire inbox?
No. Gmail data is synchronized into a local SQLite cache. Optional AI features send only the context required for the feature you explicitly use to the provider you configured.
Where are my Google credentials stored?
OAuth refresh tokens use macOS Keychain on macOS or Electron safeStorage on supported Windows and Linux systems. Runtime credentials are not stored in this website or committed to the repository.
Can I disconnect Google and delete local data?
Yes. Disconnecting an account revokes its Google token, removes the local credential, and—when cache purge is enabled—deletes cached account data. See the step-by-step data deletion guide.
Open data deletion guide →Is Dumka Mail a Google product?
No. Dumka Mail is an independent open-source project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC.
Own the workflow. Keep the context.
Dumka Mail is open source and in active early-alpha development.
