Kiwi for Gmail lets you take the Gmail and Google Workspace experience out of the browser and onto your desktop. Whether you’re using a PC or a Mac, Kiwi can transform Gmail into a standalone desktop application and save you from having to juggle multiple browser tabs.

Who should use Kiwi for Gmail?

  • Heavy users of the Google ecosystem who want the web-based Gmail and Workspace experience as a desktop application.

  • Users with multiple Gmail accounts who don’t want to constantly log in and out of each account.

  • Productivity-focused users who want to manage their email and Google documents within the same workspace.

Advantages of using Kiwi for Gmail

  • Standalone desktop experience: Having Gmail and other Workspace apps within the same interface eliminates the need to keep multiple browser tabs open.

  • Integration with Google Workspace: Provides full access to Gmail, Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Calendar, and Keep.

  • Simplified multi-account management: Manage multiple Gmail accounts in one application, and switch between all of them without having to repeatedly log in and out of accounts.

Limitations of Kiwi for Gmail

  • No cross-account search: You can’t search across all your mailboxes at once. So unless you know exactly which account your email is in, you’ll have to search each account individually.

  • Limited offline functionality: Kiwi offers very basic access when offline.

  • Performance issues: Users complain that Kiwi takes up too much computing resources, doesn’t always load or render attachments properly, and lags when starting up.
