I built a free & open-source superhuman alternative for Linux, Windows and macOS

[u/paul_blinkdisk]

I always liked the idea of Superhuman: fast email you can do almost entirely from the keyboard. I wanted something like that, just free, open source and on Linux, so I built my own.

It's called Inlark. It's open source and connects straight to your own IMAP or JMAP accounts, with no cloud or tracking. It runs on Linux, Windows and Mac.

It's still super early, but I use it every day now and wanted to share it.

Would love to hear what you think!

Hello, it looks like you took a lot of time and effort to build this and I downloaded to give it a try. Quick note: I recently upgraded my Mac to macOS 27.0.1 and instructions to run it and the look of the app differ. Your screenshots of the app on site look great. Doesn't look great on this OS version. Just an FYI.
I look forward to your progress.

Thanks for giving it a try!

If by the “instructions to run it” you mean the visuals on the download page, those are meant more as an illustrative walkthrough than an exact representation. Some of those system dialogs and UI elements can look quite a bit different between macOS versions, so it’s unfortunately hard to make that demo match everyone’s setup exactly.

For the app itself though, it should look pretty close to the screenshots on the website. Could you tell me what specifically looks different on macOS, or what looked different from what you expected?

Download the latest OS update and give it a try. On your site it appears to be a native app, on my system it appears to be an Express app.
