Bharga Mail is a desktop email application for macOS, Windows, and Linux, bringing together local-first email workflows, on-device AI assistance, multi-account access, and privacy-focused inbox features.
Bharga Mail provides a streamlined desktop inbox for users managing more than one email account. Alongside standard IMAP connections, it works with Gmail and Microsoft 365 and includes threaded conversations, rich-text messages, reusable signatures, scheduled delivery, and undo send.
Its local-first design combines SQLite-based search with AI processing performed on the device for inbox triage, message summaries, and help preparing drafts. Additional inbox review tools include SPF, DKIM, and DMARC indicators, dangerous-link detection, sandboxed HTML display, and operating-system keychain storage for credentials.
