macOS Desktop
Reference desktop targetTauri wraps the Nuxt UI and launches the PyInstaller-bundled FastAPI sidecar on port 8009—full Blind Sight, shortcuts, calendar import, Insight, and Polar flows.
Install paths
Desktop sidecar
plus mobile options.
Production mail flows through the FastAPI sidecar next to the desktop UI. Mobile can pair with that API for Insight and Polar, or use optional direct Gmail when a dev build registers your OAuth scheme.
Platform paths
Native apps where you already work.
Same care for accessibility and keyboard flow—tuned for the operating system on your machine.
Windows Desktop
Build + sidecar supportedSame architecture as macOS: packaged UI + `sidecar_api` binary with Gmail OAuth, IMAP/SMTP, SQLite sessions, and billing webhooks.
Linux Desktop
Sidecar scripts in repoLinux builds follow the same pattern—Rust shell, bundled Python API, local SQLite. Reach out if you need a curated package beyond source builds.
Mobile (Expo)
iOS & AndroidReact Native companion: point `EXPO_PUBLIC_BLINDBOX_API_BASE_URL` at a reachable sidecar for full parity (Insight + Polar). Optional direct Gmail skips the sidecar for core mail but not for those server features.
Onboarding
Comfortable
from the first launch.
BlindBox shines when you can feel the layout quickly—so onboarding mirrors the same accessibility care as the rest of the app, step by patient step.
Install desktop or mobile
Desktop: run Tauri or dev browser + `./start.sh` sidecar per README. Mobile: Expo with either a reachable sidecar URL or optional direct Gmail (dev build recommended for OAuth schemes).
Connect mail, then calendar
Sign in with Gmail OAuth or IMAP/SMTP credentials stored via the sidecar. Calendar import is optional: finish Google, Microsoft, or Apple setup from the markdown guides when you are ready.
Tune accessibility and Blind Sight
Dial in themes, contrast, motion, font size, spacing, audio cues, and Blind Sight (desktop) before you invite teammates—settings persist locally.
Pick a Polar plan
Basic for one inbox without AI reads; Insight/Plus for multi-inbox and attachment AI within monthly caps. Checkout happens through Polar; the sidecar enforces what each plan unlocks.
Teams & enterprises
Bring everyone along
Procurement, pilots, and accessibility reviews have a home here too—self-serve when you want speed, a human when you want a partner.
