Email at the speed of your keyboard.
pheeme is an open-source email client for developers. It opens fast, stays fast, and never makes you reach for the mouse.
It's early. There's nothing to download yet. Star the repo to follow the build.
Every action is one keystroke.
Most email clients wait on a server. pheeme keeps your mail on your machine, so opening, searching, and archiving happen as fast as you can type. When something's slow, that's a bug.
Hands stay on the keys.
Every action has a shortcut, and the ones you already know from Vim and Gmail work on day one.
| j k | Move through messages |
| e | Mark done and move on |
| r a | Reply, reply all |
| / | Search everything |
| ⌘ K | Run any command |
Yours to read and fork.
Your inbox is the most private thing on your computer. You should be able to read every line of the app that opens it. pheeme is open source, so you can.

~/pheeme Why it's called pheeme
In Greek myth, Pheme was the voice that carried the news.
She had wings and a trumpet, and word traveled as fast as she could fly.
We borrowed her name, added an e, and pointed her at your inbox.
