## Key features

- **Gmail as a desktop app:** Runs Gmail in its own Mac or Windows application instead of a browser tab, and one license gives the same interface on both platforms.
- **Several accounts side by side:** Starter covers 1 Gmail or Workspace account, Pro up to 3 and Power Pro up to 9, used together without signing in and out or switching browser profiles.
- **Focus-Filtered Inbox:** Narrows the inbox to mail from today, the past 2 days or the past week, and to Important, Unread, Starred or messages with attachments. Included from the Pro plan.
- **Workspace apps in their own windows:** Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Calendar and Chat open as separate desktop windows, and a recent-documents list reopens files across all of your accounts.
- **Tabbed Workspaces:** Groups related documents and windows into tabs by project, urgency or account so they are one click apart. Available on the Power Pro plan.
- **XO assistant:** A GPT-4 powered assistant inside Kiwi that drafts emails, summarizes meeting notes and outlines documents. It requires an active Kiwi subscription.

## Good for

- Heavy Gmail users who want email out of the browser

## Worth knowing

- It works only with Gmail and Google Workspace accounts; other email providers are not supported.
- It is a desktop app for Mac and Windows only; the site offers no mobile app or web version.
- Starter is limited to 1 account and Pro to 3; using up to 9 accounts and Tabbed Workspaces needs Power Pro.
