macOS 26 or later · Works with Gmail · Outlook coming soon

New Email
To: Cc/Bcc
Subject:
Message
Cancel Send

Click the icon or press ⌃⌥⌘M. Write. Send. Back to work.

Small on purpose.

No inbox, no folders, no notifications. Just the fastest way to get an email out the door.

Lives in the menu bar

Always one click away, never another window to manage. It closes itself the moment you’re done.

Open from anywhere

Press ⌃⌥⌘M in any app and start typing. Esc puts it away.

Remembers who you email

Addresses autocomplete from the people you’ve emailed before — kept only on your Mac.

Drop in attachments

Drag files onto the panel or pick them from Finder. Cc and Bcc are there when you need them.

Writing help, on device

Polish a draft or change its tone with Apple Intelligence. Nothing leaves your Mac.

Works with Gmail

Sign in once with Google and emails go out from your own address, as usual. Outlook support is on the way.

Apple Intelligence

Say it better,
without leaving the panel.

Tap the sparkle to tidy up a rushed note, soften the tone, or draft a whole email from a one-line description. It all runs on your Mac’s own model — private, offline and free.

Send-only, by design.

OutBar asks Google for exactly one thing: permission to send email for you. It can’t read your inbox — not even if it wanted to.

Questions

Which email accounts work?

Gmail and Google Workspace, using your usual Google account. Support for Outlook.com and Microsoft 365 is coming soon.

Can OutBar read my email?

No. It only requests permission to send, so it has no access to your inbox, folders or contacts.

What do I need for writing help?

A Mac with Apple silicon and Apple Intelligence turned on. Without it, OutBar works exactly the same — the sparkle button just stays hidden.

How big can attachments be?

Up to 25 MB in total, the same limit as Gmail itself.

Does it start when I log in?

If you’d like it to. Turn on “Launch at Login” from the ••• menu.

Coming soon.

OutBar is almost ready. Be the first to know when it launches.
