Agreed; the occasional Raycast AI query using their web extension suits me well.
Haven’t used Arc as my daily driver in a while now, but I used a similar setup with a semi-bright green sidebar as my debugging space when my last project was in active development. I’m rarely at a desk these days so back to Safari for the time being, but one thing I miss the most is Arc’s near-borderless window ‘frame’.
Did they drop data sync? Could have sworn all of my spaces, tabs, folders, favorites and etc synced anytime I logged back in on my other machine (with access to spaces on iOS well)
It’s been a while since I used it regularly though.
It was disabled pending user feedback to allow private external testing of the feature while the app itself was open to public testing via website link.
This was to ensure a high quality, two way support channel could be established when enabling the feature for external testing. (It also ensured Test Flight data & support channels would not become polluted with failed attempts to sign in with gmail or similar)
Swift Mail currently offers partial offline support.
It doesn't provide full offline support by keeping a complete cached copy of all mail data on disk, as an IMAP client might. Any content received from the server will remain accessible offline and during subsequent app launches.
1. Reply button is below the sender's profile symbol in the thread message header.
2. Thank you for the feedback on activating the notification. This should work as anticipated but it's been quite some time since I received feedback related to notification behaviors so I'll certainly take a look.
3. Images and remote content are blocked by default (similar to Mail.app); clicking the 'photo' button (next to the Flag button) in the message header will reveal these images.
4. Expanding threads by clicking in thread message header white space would be a welcome addition and feature request. I'll add this to the planned feature list. Expansion via body content click will require a bit more investigation, however.
Thanks for following up below to update some these points. Just want to touch on a few, if I may:
2. An iOS client is planned going forward. The first few iterations of Swift Mail were actually deployed to both iOS & macOS, so there's quite a bit of shared platform code in place already when the time is right. I have a visionOS build up and running already as well, which I think bodes well for that effort.
3. (Trials do exist, as you mentioned below)
4. Swift Mail does provide support for mailto link handling, and it can be set as the default macOS mail client as well. I'm not familiar with linking from Reminders or Notes directly to the Mail app, however, so can't speak to that workflow at the moment.
Any and all feedback is appreciated & encouraged though so please don't hesitate to reach out as needed.
Note - that roadmap is not valid and was meant to be deactivated long ago after I cancelled my subscription during the beta (great experience but couldn't automate release notes with Xcode Cloud). A replacement roadmap and feedback portal should be back online very soon at that same link, however.
I'm a fan of Sketch's approach as well, along with Panic's approach to Nova's licensing, which I believe is similar.
Unfortunately, as a solo developer on macOS, some of the more complicated approaches don't seem feasible from a maintenance and support standpoint—at least not initially. I hope to stick with the macOS App Store as well, which I assume adds additional complexity since that type of offering is not supported natively by the framework (to my knowledge anyway).
I would like to explore additional options in the future, but I don't see any major overhauls happening in year 1.
There are quite a few mail-adjacent JMAP specs in the pipeline according to https://jmap.io/spec.html. I've enjoyed working with JMAP as a protocol, so I hope to see its continued growth as well.
Any chance you might be willing to share the business domain or your role?
I’m at the half way mark of a MS in CS and trying to get a feel for the commonality of flexible positions in the industry, particularly for non-senior roles.
TimingApp is a similar alternative with a local-only option. If I recall correctly, the syncing feature is opt-in and only required if you’d like to sync activity from multiple computers.
