Mia for Gmail

About

Mia for Gmail is a native Mac application that lets you read and manage your Gmail without opening a browser. You can add multiple Gmail accounts, read and compose emails (with attachment support), and mark messages as read, archive, delete, or spam directly from the app. Desktop notifications with a selectable notification sound alert you to new mail, and Mia can be set as your default mail handler. It also includes label selection, a quick email overview when you hover over a message, dark mode support, and the option to choose your default browser for each account.

Security is built around Gmail's OAuth 2.0 authentication, so passwords are not stored on your Mac, and all connections use SSL. Mia is offered as a standalone download (version 2.8.1, requiring OS X 10.13 or later) and as a Mac App Store version. Some features, such as email search and multiple account support, are listed as premium version features.

Reviewers describe the app as lightweight, fast, and a replacement for the older Google Notifier, noting its compact inbox layout and its ability to detect new mail quickly. The app's listed features are presented as the core of its appeal for Gmail users who want their inbox available on their Mac.
