Mailplane
Mailplane is a dedicated Gmail client for macOS that provides a native application wrapper around Gmail with additional features like offline access, native notifications, and keyboard shortcuts. It's designed for users who spend significant time in Gmail and want a desktop application experience rather than relying solely on the web browser. The app streamlines email workflow with quick access to multiple Gmail accounts, improved notification handling, and integration with macOS features. It's particularly popular among professionals and developers who need efficient email management alongside their other work.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionMailplane 4.3.13 is Intel-only and the developer has not released a native Apple Silicon or Universal Binary version. The app appears to be no longer actively maintained—the latest version is from 2021, and there are no announcements of ongoing development or Apple Silicon support. Since Mailplane has stalled, you have two practical options: (1) Continue using it under Rosetta 2 for now, as it runs reliably on Apple Silicon Macs, but be aware support will end; (2) Switch to Gmail's native web interface or consider alternative Gmail clients like Mimestream (a native macOS app for Gmail) or Spark, which offer native Apple Silicon support and modern features. Given Mailplane's age, transitioning to a maintained alternative is recommended for long-term compatibility.
