Outside of the mail, my Mac is pretty much keyboard driven. So I tend to pound through my email doing GTD with one hand on the keyboard and the other hand mousing or track-padding. I don't use keyboard shortcuts heavily in Gmail because I found them to be unreliable, Inbox is slow to respond, and sometimes gets in the way, meaning the wrong commands fire. I’ve tended to wrap it in Kiwi on macOS to make it easier to switch between accounts (work G Suite, home Gmail). I’ve been a hardcore Inbox user: bundling, pinning, reminders. My own company has a cross-platform desktop app (not competing in any way!) and our products are used on macOS and iOS, so I’ve spent a lot of time over the years on native vs. I didn’t hear back from anyone, and the repeated requests for feedback and lack of engagement with feedback are incongruous, as are the underlying issues - all the more so when Superhuman is marketed as a product that makes the routine easier. The account manager thanked me and looped in the CEO, CTO and Head of Mobile. Once I’d had time to give it a good go, I took a few hours to think through the feedback, then wrote it up and sent it over. Once you start using it, the app, your account manager, and the CEO (through automated emails) all send you repeated requests for feedback and opinions. My quest for the perfect Gmail client continues.I was invited to use Superhuman in mid-March, and being a heavy Google Inbox user in need of a replacement, I signed up. Personally, I think Wavebox comes out on top in the comparison, but it still has kinks that I would like them to work out.Įverything else I've tried - Outlook, Mailbird, Thunderbird, eM Client - sucks in different ways. I've been hunting for a great Gmail client for a long time, and sadly, all three of them are far from perfect. Performance and battery life is nearly on par with Wavebox. Also no back/fwd buttons, just like Wavebox. Like, wtf! A tabbed interface would be better, but not sure if it would go with their overall UX philosophy.
#Kiwi for gmail back button on mouse windows
For heavy Gmail users of multiple accounts and constant back-and-forth between mail, calendar, keep, docs in those accounts, it can easily lead to fifty independent windows in the space of an hour. You can turn off "compose in new window", but rest everything - calendar, drive, sheets, docs - keeps opening in a new window every time you click the buttons.
Their selling point of "everything opens in a new window" is a major nuisance for me. I suspect it is not merely a browser-in-a-box electron clone, but a lot of things are implemented from scratch. Kiwi - The most well designed in terms of their design language, and over designed in other ways. It is often much easier to just hit a back button to, say, go back to you search results or to previously viewed emails. Strangely, it does not have a forward and back button like Shift has, which is a pain in the ass for me when navigating in Gmail. The Slack integration and the ability to use different websites in their own wrapper/tab is really great. Wavebox - Evolved from Wmail, which Shift was forked from. The calendar and drive integrations work reasonably well. Performance and battery life penalty is probably the highest among all three. All three of them are deficient in different ways, so here's my 2 cents. I've been trying out all three (Windows clients) for some time now (Kiwi has been available only recently).
