Pimalaya is an ambitious project that aims to improve open-source tools related to Personal Information Management (as known as PIM) which includes emails, contacts, calendars, tasks and more.

Pimalaya has two objectives:

1. Provide I/O-free Rust libraries dedicated to the PIM domain. They serve as a basis for all sorts of top-level applications, which prevents developers to reinvent the wheel.
2. Provide quality house-made applications built on top of these libraries, gathered into projects.

Himalaya was the first project of Pimalaya. It strives to be everything you need to manage emails.

• CLI
• REPL
• GUI (planned)
• Vim plugin
• Emacs plugin
• Raycast extension

Neverest is the project dedicated to email synchronization and backup. It is a direct concurrent to OfflineIMAP and mbsync.

• CLI

Mirador is the project dedicated to mailbox monitoring. Its aim is to watch mailboxes changes and execute action like sending system notification or running shell commands.

• CLI

This small project gathers everything related to the Emacs MIME Message Meta Language, as known as MML:

Creating a MIME message is boring and non-trivial. Therefore, a library called mml has been defined that parses a language called MML (MIME Meta Language) and generates MIME messages.

The two main use cases of the project are:

1. You want to write a MIME message from scratch or you want to edit an existing one (reply, forward): they can be written in MML then compiled into MIME messages as defined in the RFC 2045.
2. You want to read a MIME message: they can be interpreted as MML messages, which are way more human-readable than MIME messages.

• CLI
• Vim plugin

• timer: Set of I/O-free Rust coroutines to manage timers

Comodoro strives to be everything you need to manage timers. The main use case is to track your worktime. A good example is the Pomodoro Technique.

• CLI
• Raycast extension

• oauth: Set of I/O-free Rust coroutines to manage OAuth flows

Special thanks to the NLnet foundation and the European Commission that helped the project to receive financial support from various programs:

• NGI Assure in 2022
• NGI Zero Entrust in 2023
• NGI Zero Core in 2024 (still ongoing)
