Edit: Added a minimize tray version where the application will be minimized to tray instead of exiting the application.

Protonmail "developed" their own paid desktop application using electron, which took me 5 minutes to create with electron but it was detected by protonmail and I couldn't bypass the paywall.

So I created another desktop protonmail application using Tauri.

An open-source, unofficial desktop application for ProtonMail built using Tauri.

Description

This project is a lightweight, Windows desktop application that wraps the ProtonMail web interface. It provides a native-like experience for ProtonMail users on desktop operating systems.

Features

• Native desktop application experience for ProtonMail
• Lightweight and fast, powered by Tauri
• Supports notifications
• Portable and install versions available

Installation

1. Go to the Releases page.
2. Download the application and install it or alternatively download the portable version and launch it right away.

Building from Source

To build the application from source, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Node.js and Rust installed.

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Some1private/ProtonmailDesktopFree.git
   cd protonmail-desktop
   

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

4. Run the development version:

   npm run tauri dev
   

5. Build the production version:

   npm run tauri build
   

   The built application will be in the src-tauri/target/release directory.
