Inboxer
> Unofficial, free and open-source Google Gmail Desktop App
Inboxer — started out as an unofficial Inbox by Gmail client for desktop platforms. However, Google plans to discontinue Inbox at the end of March 2019 ([see official announcement](https://www.blog.google/products/gmail/inbox-signing-find-your-favorite-features-new-gmail/)). To keep Inboxer alive we have converted it to work with Gmail. Inboxer is now built on top of Gmail web-version. It has pleasant UI and supports useful keyboard shortcuts.
Inboxer is highly inspired by these projects:
* [Caprine](https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine) by [Sindre Sorhus](https://github.com/sindresorhus)
* [Ramme](https://github.com/terkelg/ramme) by [Terkel Gjervig Nielsen](https://github.com/terkelg)
* [Keep](https://github.com/andrepolischuk/keep) by [Andrey Polischuk](https://github.com/andrepolischuk)
Check out these ones as great examples of Electron applications. All of them are under the MIT license.

```
### Linux
[**Download**][download] the `.AppImage`* or `.deb` or `.snap` file.
\* — Notice, that the `AppImage` needs to be [made executable](http://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-make-an-appimage-executable/80) after download.
### Windows

### Package Inboxer from source
You'll need `electron` and `npm` installed in your system.
