Your mail stays between your Mac and Gmail.
Flick reads, sends, and organizes your Gmail with the access you grant through Google. It talks to Gmail directly from your Mac and keeps your Google sign-in in the macOS Keychain. Your messages and Gmail tokens never pass through a Flick server.

Questions
What does Flick do with my Gmail?
Flick connects to Gmail directly from your Mac, with the permission you grant through Google. Your Google tokens stay in the macOS Keychain, and your messages and tokens never pass through a Flick server. You can remove Flick's access at any time in your Google account settings.
How much mail is stored on my Mac?
The last 90 days, with the full text of each message, so search is fast. Older mail stays in Gmail, and Flick searches it through Gmail when you ask.
Which computers does it run on?
Macs with Apple silicon or Intel chips running macOS 13 or later. Flick for iPhone and iPad is in beta on TestFlight. There is no web or Windows version.
How much does it cost?
Every feature is free for 14 days, with no card. After that, Flick is part of Labs Ultra, which is $30 a month or $240 a year and also includes Clak Pro and Zoomer Pro.
Can I use more than one Gmail account?
Yes. Connect more than one Gmail account, and switch between them with Control and a number key.
Does Flick need to be open to send a scheduled message?
Yes. Flick sends scheduled messages from your Mac. If your Mac is asleep or Flick is closed at the scheduled time, the message goes out when Flick runs again.
Do I need an account?
Yes. You sign in with a Galactus account, then connect Gmail. The Galactus account holds your plan; it never sees your mail.
