Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

  • Render HTML emails with an interactive terminal web browser, highlight patches with diffs, and browse with an embedded less session
  • Vim-style keybindings and ex-command system, allowing for powerful automation at a single keystroke
  • First-class support for working with git & email
  • Open a new tab with a terminal emulator and a shell running for easy access to nearby git repos for parallel work
  • Support for multiple accounts, with support for IMAP, Maildir, SMTP, and sendmail transfer protocols
  • CalDAV and CardDAV support for synchronizing contacts & calendar events
