About Kite

Mail should feel
like yours.

Kite is an open-source desktop client for Gmail. It is small by design, transparent by default, and built for people who spend a lot of time in their inbox.

Built in the open

We believe the best way to build trust is to show the work. Kite’s code and direction are public.

Less, on purpose

Kite is not trying to become another everything app. It is trying to be a very good place for Gmail.

Shaped together

Early feedback matters. The project is designed to grow with the people who use it.

The stack

Rust + Tauri 2

React and TypeScript on top, a lightweight native layer underneath, and Google services where they belong: in your mail.
