Where the value is supposed to come in is in giving you Google’s suite of apps in the same interface. The purpose is to move your Gmail usage away from a web browser and over to a desktop client.

The gist here is that you download and install Kiwi on your computer, sign up for an account, and then add your Gmail accounts one-by-one.

Kiwi’s presence may be more significant for Mac users because some of the other options are Windows-only. Its standalone focus makes it ideal if you’re enmeshed in Google’s ecosystem, even if you only have a couple of Gmail accounts. Kiwi is purely about Gmail, letting you add up to six accounts, and tying into other Google Workspace software on top of that. It’s standard practice to manage a Gmail account on a web browser, but Kiwi lets you do it with multiple accounts via its desktop app for Windows and macOS.ĭesktop apps that can integrate Gmail aren’t new, but they’re usually part of an application that also integrates other email clients.
