Flit’s first public beta is a fast, lightweight, native Gmail client for macOS.

Install

  1. Download Flit-0.1.0-beta.1.dmg below.
  2. Open the disk image.
  3. Drag Flit into Applications.
  4. Open Flit and choose Accounts → Add Gmail Account….

Requires macOS 13 Ventura or newer. The build is universal for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, Developer ID signed, and notarized by Apple.

Included

  • Native AppKit unified inbox with local SQLite and fast search
  • Gmail OAuth, bounded IMAP synchronization, and SMTP sending
  • Complete Gmail conversations with lazy thread loading
  • Optimistic archive, trash, and read actions
  • Reply, reply all, and forward
  • Rolling message-body prefetch with a bounded disk cache
  • Optional one-sentence AI summaries using your own OpenRouter key

Known limitations

  • Gmail is the only connected provider
  • Google OAuth verification is incomplete; new users see Google’s unverified-app warning, and the client is subject to the 100-new-user cap
  • New-message composition and attachments are not complete
  • There is no offline SMTP outbox or automatic updater
