#SIMILAR TO KIWI FOR GMAIL FULL#
After all, my Android phone has enjoyed full offline access to Gmail for years. One answer, of course, would be to simply take the plunge and go for a Chromebook. What I really want is the Gmail user interface, but with full-fidelity offline access. But after a decade of getting used to Google’s keyboard shortcuts and operating approach, I’m not willing to go back to Outlook. Now, of course, I could use Microsoft Outlook and sync it with Gmail. I really need to be able to compose mail while offline. I travel a huge amount and am often away from WiFi. My one complaint with Google lies in the offline functionality.
I am a Google customer and have been using their various office productivity tools for many years now.

No matter the small fact that the vast majority of security breaches of applications of this type occur not because it is browser-based, but rather because of poor user-behaviors, password control etc.Īnyway, Kiwi claims that it allows Google customers to operate on the same playing field as Microsoft Office in terms of security – a pretty lofty claim from a small company whose product is just as at risk of a desktop-based security breach as a browser-based application.īut security isn’t actually my biggest bug-bear with Kiwi. Kiwi goes to great lengths to insinuate that the security weaknesses of cloud office productivity applications lie in the fact that they’re browser-based. The difference here is that Kiwi is built with a high level of fidelity between itself and the online Google offerings – so the user experience for Kiwi is much like that for Gmail and Docs.

Kiwi is, therefore, a series of independent desktop applications, in the same way, Microsoft Office is. Nomenclature aside, Kiwi is a platform that is designed to deliver a browser-independent version of Gmail as well as the Google Apps suite – Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Now I’m not sure whether the name of the product is a none-too-subtle attempt to gain coverage from this proud New Zealand, the PR person in question didn’t actually know the story behind the name. I have a dozen or so apps in mine, and never have to hunt for them in my normal browser windows.Late last year I received an email from a PR agency asking me to try out Kiwi for Gmail. I’ve been using it for a couple years now, and have been very happy for my workflow. You can really arrange things however you choose. So maybe you go with Google as your app and have a pin for Gmail, Drive, and Calendar. You can close Biscuit and come back to where you left off (more or less - the tabs will load again next time you switch to them).Īnd last but not least, you can pin tabs and set what the home URL for each service should be. Links can also be opened into the right app’s session/list of tabs, the current app, or the system browser. So you can include Gmail under each, and they’ll have their own sessions. You can cmd-tab to Biscuit, switch between apps, tabs in each app, and it all just pretty much works.Īpps can also be grouped under categories (say, Personal and Business) for organization. Each of those gets its own session cookies and tabs.
You have a sidebar with, say, Gmail, Docs, Asana, etc. It’s a free app/service-focused web browser that groups pages into apps.
