I’ve been using Gemini 3.0 Pro every day, but the web UI was honestly killing my flow. 😩
I had so many browser tabs open, constantly reaching for the mouse just to find an old conversation or switch models.
💸 And I didn't want to pay for a 3rd party wrapper that requires an API key.
Damn. I’m already paying for a Google Advanced subscription, why should I pay per token?
So, I decided to do what Google didn't do and created a native app for myself.
Easy, using my existing subscription without API keys.
💎 It’s called Gemlet. I built it to live in your menu bar.
I wanted something that felt like a pro tool, not a webpage.
👇 Here is how I solved my own headaches:
⌨️ No more mouse hunting: I can now switch between Pro and Flash models with a keyboard command. I can also open any specific Gem or chat with a global shortcut.
🗂️ Organization: I added real bookmarks for chats and Workspaces to keep my "Work" and "Personal" stuff completely isolated. No more separate windows for everything.
💾 History Safety: I was paranoid about Gemini randomly "eating" or deleting my history (which happened to me dozens of times). I built a native exporter so I can save any conversation to PDF or JSON whenever I want.
⚡ Keyboard-First: Global hotkeys and a command palette were top of mind all the time. If I had to click a button, then I created an app shortcut for that (e.g., cmd+B opens/closes the sidebar).

The friction of switching to a browser tab to run an AI query is genuinely underrated as a reason people don't build consistent habits around these tools. Native global hotkeys solve the activation problem that most AI wrappers ignore entirely. Curious how you're handling the multi-profile context switching in practice - does Gemlet preserve separate conversation histories per profile, or is it more of a credential swap? That separation is usually what makes power users actually commit to a native client over a browser.
@jscanzi We keep the sessions completely separated, they have their own space/storage/data.
The only thing shared between profiles are slash commands.
@guilatrova thanks for your feedback!
I've been looking for something just like this for Gemini! Any plans to offer a free trial? I suspect you'll get quite a few more downloads if you do. I see you have the money-back guarantee, but I imagine there are a lot of people like me, who know they would never reach out to the developer and actually ask for their money back, and as such, avoid downloading altogether. Just a thought!
@shaun_hurley Thank you for such a valuable feedback. TBH I never thought about it... I'll consider and see what I can do.
Love the keyboard-first approach! Curious what made you build this specifically for Gemini instead of a multi-model client?
@athanzhang You dont have to pay for tokens. If you have a Gemini subscription, you can simply use it.

Google deleting my conversations randomly was the thing that almost made me stop using Gemini entirely. Quick one -does it break when Google updates the web UI, or is there some resilience built in?
So cool! I'm also a avid gemini user, will give it a shot
@abhinavramesh Thank you! You'll love it :)
