open source, because it is your mail
email is the most personal archive most people own. password resets, contracts, the thread where you agreed the price, letters from people who are gone. software that reads an archive like that should be readable itself.
every line of guvercin is public. anyone can check that it does what this website says it does — and that it does not do anything else.
repository
guvercin-email/guvercin-desktop
a desktop email client built with Tauri, Rust and React. mail, calendar, contacts and tasks, stored locally in SQLite.

the stack
Tauri
the native shell. one small window instead of a browser bundled per app.
Rust
the mail engine — IMAP, SMTP and sync. memory safety matters when you are parsing other people’s messages.
React
the interface. a familiar layer, so contributing a fix does not require learning a new UI toolkit first.
SQLite
local storage. your mail ends up in a file you own, on a disk you own.
how to contribute
we are a small open source project, so every one of these genuinely helps.
write code
build from source with the snippet on the download page, pick a good-first issue, and open a pull request.
translate guvercin
the app ships 64 languages, all contributed through the repository. adding a language means adding one JSON file under the locales folder.
report and test
file issues with your operating system, the app version and the steps to reproduce. try the beta channel and tell us what broke.
roadmap
indicative, not a promise. it is what we would like to do next, in no strict order.
- plannedunified cross-account search
- plannedPGP support
- plannedmore sync providers
- in progresssigned and notarized builds
- planneda mobile companion
want something else? open an issue — the roadmap follows what people actually ask for.
security disclosure
found a vulnerability? write to support@guvercin.email with the details and how to reproduce it. please give us a chance to ship a fix before opening a public issue.
there is no bounty programme — we are a small project — but you will be credited in the release notes if you want to be.
the license, in three lines
use it for free, at home or at work, for as long as you like.
read it, modify it, fork it, and share your changes under the same terms.
do not sell it, or build a paid product or service whose value comes substantially from it.
