The one where Skim learns to smell a phishing email from across the room and does it all locally, offline, without phoning a single reputation service. Your inbox, now with a healthy sense of suspicion.

Phishing detection, built right in. Skim now quietly vets every message for the classic tells and warns you before you click something you'll regret.
Sender checks reads SPF / DKIM / DMARC results, catches "reply goes to a totally different domain" tricks, spots when the friendly display name hides a stranger's address, and flags lookalike domains (paypa1.com, we see you).
Link checks a link that says one thing but opens another, user@evil.com sleight of hand, and raw-IP links get stopped cold. Shorteners, plain http, punycode, weird ports and endless subdomains get side-eye too but only when the sender already looks shady, so your newsletters full of tracking redirects don't set off alarms.
A link gate click a suspicious link and Skim tells you where it actually goes and lets you bail or proceed. No more mystery destinations.
"Check for phishing" with AI one tap to have Skim AI read the sender, the auth results, and the links, then explain the whole thing in plain language.
All of it deterministic, all of it offline. No thresholds to tune, no data leaving your machine.
finally a windows email client that doesn't try to be a whole operating system, love that the rust core keeps it to like 5mb
Skim
@kamilsatlkebkj Me too, man! 🤘 Enjoy!
Sub-second cold start from a 5 MB installer is genuinely impressive craft, especially with native search baked in. Really respect the discipline of cutting the calendar and rules engine instead of bolting them on.
Skim
@rukiyevatad9da greet Claude that made it possible this way 😄 When code is cheap, discipline becomes expensive.
been using it for a few days and honestly the instant full-text search is kind of wild, way faster than outlook. the minimal vibe is actually refreshing, feels like it respects my time
Skim
@arifpekgila0cj Skim respects what Outlook obviously doesn't 😄
5mb installer and sub-second cold start on windows is honestly kind of wild, my current client takes forever to open. love that ai is opt-in too.

@beratmcdecotaw hope you're enjoying it! 🫶

@umberto_abbatantuono if you feel like there's missing something you want, please, do not hesitate to open an issue!
finally an email client that respects my storage and my sanity, the 5mb install is unreal on windows. love that i can just plug in my own api key and skip the data-sucking defaults.
Skim
@asyadizili Enjoy! 🫶
