This program is a RubyCocoa Gmail notification tool for Mac OS X that is free and open-source.
If you're looking for a Gmail notifier, you may already be aware that Google offers an official notifier for Mac users. However, there are a couple of reasons why you might not be totally satisfied with this option.
One major drawback of the Google Notifier is its lack of customization. Specifically, you cannot configure the notifier to check for new mail at set intervals. Instead, it sends a notification every time a new message arrives, which can be disruptive if you're trying to focus on other tasks.
Another concern with the Google Notifier is that it installs and runs multiple daemon processes on your system without asking for permission. The Google Updater is one example of these processes, and they can continue to run even after you've uninstalled the notifier. This can be a frustrating and potentially problematic issue if you don't know how to remove these processes manually.
Overall, if you're looking for a more flexible and streamlined Gmail notifier, it may be worth exploring other options beyond the official Google Notifier.
