Questions & Answers

Is it safe to connect my Gmail?
Yes. The app uses Google's official sign-in and only requests read-only access. It can't modify, delete, or send emails. It only accesses what it needs: email subjects and attachment details (filename, sender, date). It never reads or stores the content of your emails. Your login is secured by your Mac's built-in protection, and we don't run any servers.
Does it download all my attachments automatically?
No. The app syncs your attachment metadata (names, dates, senders) so everything is searchable, but it only downloads files you explicitly select. You're always in control of what gets saved to your Mac.
Where is my data stored?
Everything stays on your Mac. Attachment info is stored in a local database, downloaded files go to folders you choose, and your Gmail connection is secured by macOS. There are no cloud servers. We never see your data.
I have years of email history. Will it work?
Yes, it's built for exactly that. The initial sync typically takes just a few minutes, even for inboxes with thousands of emails. Once synced, search is instant. The app indexes your attachments efficiently without downloading them, so your Mac won't slow down or run out of space.
Can I disconnect my Gmail anytime?
Absolutely. You can remove the connection from the app, or revoke access directly from your Google Account settings at any time.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free gives you everything you need to get started: search, filters, templates, and exports from one Gmail account (last 90 days).

Pro unlocks unlimited history, up to 5 Gmail accounts, and the ability to combine and organize attachments from all your inboxes together. It's a one-time purchase of $19. No subscription.

Can I combine files from different Gmail accounts?
Yes, with Pro. Connect up to 5 Gmail accounts (personal, work, side projects) and search across all of them at once. You can export attachments from different inboxes into a single folder, organized exactly how you want.
How does file naming work?

You can customize how exported files are named using placeholders:

  • {YYYY}-{MM}-{DD} date (2025-01-15)
  • {FromName} sender's name
  • {Filename} original filename
  • {Subject} email subject

Example: {YYYY}-{MM}-{DD}_{FromName}_{Filename} turns report.pdf into 2025-01-15_Sarah_Report.pdf

Can I organize files into folders automatically?

Yes. Just add a / in your template to create folders automatically:

  • {Kind}/{Filename} → pdf/Report.pdf, image/Photo.jpg
  • {YYYY}/{MM}/{Filename} → 2025/01/Report.pdf
  • {FromName}/{Filename} → Sarah/Report.pdf
What if a file with the same name already exists?
The app never overwrites existing files. If a file with the same name already exists in your destination folder, it's skipped and reported, so you always know what happened.
