Why Morrow

Less noise.
More room.

Most mail apps ask for a lot of attention. Morrow is built around a simple idea: the best inbox is the one that gets out of your way.

Fast where it counts

A native Rust core handles IMAP, SMTP, MIME and the local cache. No Electron, no warm-up, no waiting.

A local-first inbox

Recent mail lives in a compact SQLite cache on this computer. Opening a message is instant — even when the network isn't.

Your vault, not ours

Passwords go into Windows Credential Manager or Linux Secret Service. They never touch a Morrow server.

Built for real mail

Multiple accounts and folders, attachments, rich replies, stars, archive, move and search. The everyday things, done well.

Reads your way

Remote images stay blocked, HTML mail is sandboxed, and every message gets a clean, readable stage.

Quiet by default

No sound effects, no red badges screaming from the dock, no AI reading your mail. Light and dark themes that behave.

Inside the app

A closer look.

Three panes, a handful of carefully chosen details and nothing asking for your attention unless it deserves it.

A clear start.

Unread, starred, files and folders in one glance. The inbox shows what matters and stays quiet about the rest.

Private by default

Your mail
stays yours.

Morrow talks directly to your mail provider. There is no account to create, no inbox to scan and no middleman to trust. Just a small desktop app and your existing email.

  • No telemetry, analytics or advertising.
  • Remote images are blocked until you choose to load them.
  • Password storage stays inside your operating system.

Good to know

Small print,
plain English.

A personal project, made with care. Here are the honest answers to the things people usually ask before trying a new mail app.

More projects
Which email providers work?

Any provider that offers standard IMAP and SMTP with password or app-password sign-in. Gmail, iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo, Zoho and most personal domains work with an app password. OAuth is not supported yet, so Microsoft/Outlook accounts that require OAuth may not connect.

Where is my mail stored?

Your mail lives on your own mail server. Morrow keeps a small local SQLite cache of messages you have loaded, so they open instantly. Account passwords are stored in your OS credential vault, never in a plain text file.

Does it work offline?

Cached messages can be read offline. Syncing new mail and sending require a connection to your mail server. There is no Morrow cloud service in between.

Why does Windows warn about the installer?

The build is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show its standard “unknown publisher” notice. You can review the installer, choose More info → Run anyway, or inspect the SHA-256 checksum above.

Can I use more than one account?

Yes. Morrow supports multiple IMAP + SMTP accounts, each with its own folders and local cache, in one window.

How do Linux installs work?

Install the .deb with your package manager on Debian or Ubuntu, or download the AppImage, make it executable with chmod +x, and run it directly. Both use the system WebKitGTK runtime.
