Fastmail launches native desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux

Fastmail has released native desktop applications for macOS, Windows and Linux, expanding its app lineup beyond mobile devices. The new clients are distributed directly from Fastmail’s website and are notarized by Apple for macOS.

The move gives users a comfortable alternative to managing email in a browser, with benefits you’d expect from native apps: offline access, system notifications, and tighter integration with the desktop environment. Fastmail says the apps aim to provide the same fast, privacy-focused experience its service is known for.

• Platforms: macOS, Windows, Linux
• Availability: Download from the official Fastmail site (fastmail.com)
• macOS: Apple‑notarized builds for smoother installation

While Fastmail previously offered mobile apps, this desktop release helps users who prefer a standalone client rather than webmail. Expect improved offline workflows, desktop notifications, and better system-level performance compared with a browser tab.
