About

Hi, I’m Jörg (TechPirat), an indie developer and tech creator from Germany. I build practical software that solves real-world problems. Most of my projects start because I personally need a solution and can’t find a good one. One example is Mail Archive. I wanted a simple way to archive emails locally on my Mac without relying on cloud services, so I built it myself. Besides developing apps, I run a technology-focused YouTube channel where I test products, explore new technologies, and share my experiences with the community. My goal is simple: build useful software that helps people save time, protect their data, and solve everyday challenges.

Mail Archive - Own your email archive. No cloud required.

I created Mail Archive because I needed a simple way to archive my own emails without relying on expensive cloud services or complicated enterprise software. Mail Archive lets you connect Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365 and IMAP accounts, store emails locally on your computer and search everything with fast full-text search. No cloud dependency, no mandatory subscription, and complete control over your data. Available for Mac and Windows.
