Hey, that's me!

Very interested in this, but only if access to my email stays on my local machine. If there are any cloud servers involved... nope.

It's client-side access to Gmail through the Gmail API. The only thing that uses our server is the Snooze feature, which only stores the thread ID and the date. And all the other data is stored in your Google Drive account which is only accessible client-side. We don't want to read your data.

If your email is already on Gmail isn't it already on cloud servers...?

The issue is that I trust Google more than I trust "random startup XYZ" with all of my email, which contains personal information, medical documents, financial statements, etc.
