★ Bout IV · new · beta ★
Just an email program — and only that. Straight IMAP to your own inbox, no vendor cloud, no telemetry, no Electron. Your mail, your machine, nobody in the middle.
★ Scouting report ★
No calendar, no chat, no feeds, none of the stuff you never asked it to do. Sign in to Gmail in one click, or hand it iCloud or your own server — it talks straight to your inbox over IMAP, with no vendor cloud, no telemetry and no Electron. Messages open in a small native reader; the browser engine exists only when you explicitly ask for Rich view, and exits when you leave it. Attachments live in the message: photos preview, anything opens or saves, and a whole batch downloads at once. Send something you regret and Ctrl+Z takes it back. A dropped connection won’t lose your outgoing mail, drafts come back where you left them, and search reaches message bodies offline. And if you bring your own model — running locally or on your own key — it will filter the spam, tell you what’s still waiting on a reply, and let you just ask your mail questions. Nothing baked in, nothing phones home you didn’t point it at.
★ The numbers ★
Carrier takes on two opponents at once — a typical Electron mail app and the new Outlook — on the numbers that decide a fight.
