Email, delivered by a companion.
A calm Windows desktop companion that helps you notice and handle new email without turning your desktop into another noisy inbox.
Public Beta coming soon
Windows-first · Local-first · MailPet never asks for your email password
Meet the Calm Messenger
MailPet lives on your Windows desktop as a resident Chow Chow companion. Most of the time it simply sits quietly in the corner of your screen, keeping you company with small, natural movements.
When a new email arrives, the companion comes to deliver it to you in person — a short, gentle visit instead of another banner, badge, or ping. You stay in control: the companion can be moved, repositioned, and every delivery can be closed right away.
How MailPet works
-
Connect your email
Connect a Microsoft or Gmail account using the provider’s own OAuth sign-in. MailPet never sees or stores your email password.
-
New email arrives
MailPet checks for new mail locally, on your own computer. There is no MailPet mail server in between.
-
Your companion delivers it
The Chow Chow brings you a small card with a short, safe summary of the new message.
-
View, Reply, or Dismiss
View opens the full message inside MailPet. Reply sends your answer through your own email account. Dismiss closes the delivery in MailPet only — it never deletes or changes the email in your mailbox.
Microsoft and Gmail support
Microsoft email
Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, and Microsoft 365 accounts connect through Microsoft OAuth and Microsoft Graph.
Gmail
Gmail accounts connect through Google OAuth and the Gmail API, using only the permissions MailPet needs to notify you and to send replies you write.
MailPet connects one active provider and account at a time. You can switch between Microsoft and Gmail whenever you like; settings such as your selected-sender list are kept separate for each account.
You choose what reaches you
- All emails — every new message can be delivered by your companion.
- Selected senders only — only the senders you list will trigger a delivery.
- Unread count only — no deliveries at all; your companion quietly shows how many unread emails are waiting.
Privacy-first by design
- Local-first. MailPet runs on your Windows computer and talks directly to Microsoft Graph or the Gmail API.
- No MailPet mail server. MailPet has no server of its own that receives, reads, or stores your email.
- Read on demand. A message body is fetched only when you choose View or Reply.
- No analytics or telemetry. The current implementation includes no analytics, telemetry, advertising tracking, or sale of user data.
Windows availability
Windows Public Beta preparation is in progress.
A Microsoft-only beta baseline has completed clean-machine validation. The unified release that includes Gmail support is still being prepared, and there is no public download yet. This page will be updated when the Public Beta opens.
