That's the only account you'll get notifications for, too (and, unfortunately, you get notified for every email, rather than for only select emails like Inbox does on mobile).įor now, Boxy does have a few things that Inbox can't do.

And since Inbox doesn't have support for multiple accounts, moving between two email addresses in Boxy means loading the new one every time you want to make a switch. It loads and moves between emails quickly, but its animations can be a little more sluggish than Inbox on the web. That's great news if you love Inbox, but if you don't, Boxy isn't going to be the perfect app for you.Įven if you do love Inbox, Boxy has its limitations. There's next to nothing different about how Boxy works - it's just loading Inbox on the web and then transforming it into what looks like a native app. Related emails (like newsletters or promotions) will be grouped together into a single line to declutter your screen, and images, attachments, and event invitations will also appear on the main screen for quick access.Ĭommenting on the function of Boxy's interface is sort of a strange thing to do, since it's really a critique of Inbox. Boxy is essentially identical to Inbox on the web: you get a single column list of emails, and clicking on an item will expand it inline, allowing you to quickly read and respond. A pair of developers have put together an app called Boxy that turns Inbox into something that looks like a native Mac app.

Google may not ever get around to it, but someone else has. Inbox will always be a web app first, so why would it bother? There's a lot to like - and dislike - about Inbox, but one thing that's stood out as a downside for me is the fact that Google is unlikely to ever turn it into a desktop app.

The one I've been spending the most time with is Inbox, Google's attempt at building a smarter interface for Gmail. Ever since the impending death of Mailbox was announced, I've been looking for a new email app to replace it.
