Gmail-SSB

Gmail-SSB is a site-specific browser for Gmail that's optimized for Google's fancy-schmancy voice/video calls. There are better Gmail SSBs out there, such as Mailplane. Or you could roll your own using Fluid.app. Unfortunately, neither of those quite fit my needs:

  • Mailplane has a ton of features, but none of which I need. I'm already super-productive using Gmail's native shortcut keys.
  • Fluid is also great at what it does. Sadly, closing the Fluid window releases the WebView, which kills any voice/video conversations you have open.

Gmail-SSB addresses these issues so I can work safely in Safari without fear of accidentally closing my Gmail tab during a call.

FEATURES

  • Dedicated app just for Gmail. Non-Gmail links automatically open in your real web browser.
  • Open/close/hide/minimize the app without disconnecting your voice/video calls.
  • Incoming calls will ring in the background even if the window is closed.
  • Growl notifications for incoming voice/video calls. (Also bounces the dock.)
  • Dock badge shows unread email count.
  • Sparkle updates

DOWNLOAD

You can download the latest version here.

UPDATES

Code is hosted at GitHub: http://github.com/tylerhall/Gmail-SSB. Updates will be automatically pushed out in-app via Sparkle. Or you can always download the latest code and build it yourself.
