Marco and Pagkugi

Offline-first macOS, iOS, and web client that deliberately excludes AI.

At a glance

A clean interface, offline-first sync, tasks and snooze, and no AI drafting, rewriting, summarizing, or replying.

Where Pagkugi differs. A closed-source hosted service rather than a local Maildir application.
