Verdict:Ī slick way to integrate your Gmail account (and potentially G-Suite itself) into your desktop without having to adapt to a different user interface. The first is an “Important Only” notifications setting that allows you to prioritise alerts, and a “Do Not Disturb” feature for setting aside quiet time.Įverything works slickly and as you’d expect – if you’re a Google aficionado and want to separate its mail and office features from your browser, then Kiwi for Gmail is well worth taking for a road-test. Premium users on Windows also gain two exclusive features not (yet) found on the Mac, both of which aim to make the program less intrusive. Other benefits of Premium include the ability to restore windows on restarting, support for keyboard shortcuts (and Chrome-based Gmail plugins) and the ability to directly open Google App files from the desktop. If you want to juggle multiple accounts or integrate G-Suite into your desktop, then the Premium version costs $29.99 a year on Windows (Mac users can get it for a one-off $29.99 through the app store). If all you want is a dedicated desktop front-end for Gmail, then the Lite version is sufficient, offering desktop notifications, separate window for composing email and the ability to make Kiwi your default mail handler. It also provides desktop shortcuts for Docs, Sheets and Slides to make the G Suite a contender for your default office tool. ![]() That does it a disservice though, because Kiwi for Gmail basically integrates these services into your desktop, with support for multiple windows and – in the Premium version – up to six separate Google accounts. The app doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel – at first glance it’s little more than a wrapper for the web-based interface, so will be instantly familiar to those currently accessing Google services through their browser. Rather than tie up your web browser or make do with a third-party email client such as Thunderbird, Kiwi for Gmail aims to provide you with a dedicated app that gives you access to a wide range of Google services depending on whether you stick with the free Lite version (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts) or shell out for the Premium version (Lite features plus G-Suite, comprising Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, plus Google Drive). But while there are dedicated apps for accessing these features on your mobile, what about the desktop? ![]() ![]() Chances are you’ve got Gmail for email and make use of Google Drive and its associated apps for storing files and working on the go.

So the only question left to ask is, are you ready to maximize your team's efficiency? (And, what will you do with your extra thirty minutes?) □ There is virtually no ramp time with adding Kiwi to your tech stack, because it uses the existing Gmail interface - meaning, if your team knows their way around Gmail, then they already know how to use Kiwi. □Īnd with our Kiwi for Teams plans, you can roll out Kiwi to your entire organization in a flash. Replace multiple external systems with Streak. Manage your deals, support queue (and more) inside Gmail. Just a stand-alone desktop application where they can manage up to 9 of their Google accounts. Share contacts, email, files, and anything else needed to get the job done. No more browser tabs, no more logging in and out. Kiwi takes everything you use in Google every day, including Gmail, docs, sheets and slides, and transforms them into powerful desktop applications. On average, Kiwi saves users 30 minutes per day. This is ineffective, inefficient, and costly to organizations. So, it's also likely that they're needing to log in and out of browsers, in and out of Gmail accounts - ALL. Or - most often - your team has multiple Google accounts they use daily - one for work, a couple for personal, perhaps a freelance account, you get the idea. ![]() Google workspace and Gmail are powerful tools, but their power is limited by a clunky browser experience.Įveryday by 10 AM, your team has 17 different tabs open in your browser window and they’re unsure of where to find that last document they were working on. If your team is using Gmail and Google Workspace apps like Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides - it's highly likely that they're working inefficiently. Kiwi for Gmail is redefining the old adage “Work smarter, not harder.”
