v0.1.0

Skim v0.1.0 — the first public release. A fast, native, minimalist email client for Windows with bring-your-own-key Claude AI.

Highlights

  • ⚡ Native & fast — Rust core + WebView2 UI (Tauri 2), ~5 MB installer, instant cold start
  • 🔒 Local-first — IMAP sync into a local SQLite cache, works offline, zero telemetry
  • ✉️ Mail done right — Gmail (one-click Google sign-in or app password), Outlook/Yahoo/iCloud/any IMAP server, conversation threading, offline-queued actions, IMAP IDLE push, native notifications with a mark-read button
  • ✦ Bring your own AI — paste an Anthropic API key: draft replies in your voice (shorter/warmer/formal), summarize threads, ask about a message, and chat across your whole mailbox with cited sources. Requests go directly from your machine to Claude; the key lives in Windows Credential Manager
  • 🔍 Instant search — full-text (FTS5) over subject/sender/body, Ctrl+K command palette, keyboard-first (j/k/e/s/r)
  • 🛡️ Safe HTML — mail is sanitized in Rust and rendered in a no-script sandboxed iframe; remote images blocked by default
  • 🌍 11 languages (en, ru, sr, fr, de, es, it, pl, zh, ja, ko), light & dark themes

Install

Download Skim_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe below (per-user, no admin rights) — or the .msi for managed environments. Windows 10/11 with WebView2 (preinstalled on Win 11).

Connecting Gmail and enabling AI: see the README.

Known limitations

  • One mail account per install (multi-account is on the roadmap)
  • Google sign-in runs in testing mode while the OAuth app is unverified: re-login every 7 days (app passwords have no such limit)
  • Desktop notifications require the installed app (Start Menu shortcut) — they don't fire from a portable exe
