Features
A complete, native MBOX toolkit
Everything you need to open, search, read and export huge email archives on your Mac — without a web app in a window.
Built for scale
Any file size
A streaming parser with a 1 MB buffer opens files from a few KB to 50+ GB without ever loading them into RAM.
Instant re-opens
A binary index with SHA-256 validation makes every re-open take under a second, regardless of size.
Low memory footprint
Even a 50 GB archive stays under 600 MB of RAM thanks to on-demand streaming and an LRU message cache.
Find anything
Powerful search syntax
Use from:, to:, subject:, body:, date:, has:attachment, size:>, OR, negation and exact phrases — or the visual filter sheet.
Gmail labels
Reads Gmail labels straight from Takeout. Browse by label in the sidebar with live message counts.
Conversation threading
The JWZ algorithm groups messages into conversations with visual reply chains up to four levels deep.
Get your data out
Export anywhere
Export to EML, CSV (Excel-ready, UTF-8 with BOM) or plain text, and extract attachments in bulk.
Merge & dedupe MBOX
Combine multiple MBOX files into one, with optional Message-ID deduplication. Export a single label as its own MBOX.
Attachments
View attachments inline, preview with Quick Look (Spacebar), save individually or in bulk, or drag straight to Finder.
Native & private
Truly native macOS
SwiftUI + AppKit. Dark mode, Drag & Drop, Quick Look, Share, Print and full keyboard navigation. No Electron, no Java.
Privacy by design
Everything runs locally. No cloud, no telemetry, no account. Remote images blocked and HTML sanitized by default.
Drag & Drop everywhere
Drop MBOX or EML files onto the app to open them, and drag messages out as .eml or attachments to Finder.
Search syntax at a glance
Combine prefixes, operators and exact phrases to pinpoint any message.
