Mailbox and the Todo Protocol

Looks neat. I just download it. Is there any reason it's a .pkg instead of a .App that can be dragged into Application folder?

Yes, the .pkg installer allows us to automatically kill a running Inky process, which would otherwise prevent installation from succeeding.

That permission is a lot. Some people may not be comfortable with this. I know some guy living in China who refuses to install anything on Mac that requires entering the password.

.pkg installers don't have to ask for the password; ours does, but we're working on changing that.
