Kiwi for Gmail is an intuitive, well-designed Mac app that brings Gmail to your desktop seamlessly. One of the features that makes Kiwi so appealing is that it doesn’t just afford you access to your inbox, but you have a direct connection to your G-Suite products, too.

Open emu games downloads. You can set up physical controllers over USB and wireless, including the Wii Remote and Wii U Pro, Xbox 360 controller, PlayStation Dualshock 3 and Dualshock 4, Sega Saturn, Retrolink SNES and N64, Logitech gamepads, and more. OpenEmu can scan your Mac’s hardrive the first time it’s opened and automatically add any ROMs you’ve already downloaded off the web. Game ROMs you’ve added are displayed like iTunes album artwork, and navigating through the app is straight forward. “We wanted to make emulating your old games as simple, easy and as elegant as possible” “We wanted to make emulating your old games as simple, easy and as elegant as possible” the project’s leader, David McLeod. “We found the user experience presented to users via some absolutely amazing emulator projects to be below average at best. We wanted an experience where you simply added the legal ROMs you own, dropped them in, and launched the game. We wanted it to just work.” Indeed, where OpenEmu really shines is its user-friendly interface that is leagues beyond any other emulator out there.

In the cloud-connected 21st century, Google is currently king. Chances are you’ve got Gmail for email and make use of Google Drive and its associated apps for storing files and working on the go. But while there are dedicated apps for accessing these features on your mobile, what about the desktop? Rather than tie up your web browser or make do with a third-party email client such as Thunderbird, Kiwi for Gmail aims to provide you with a dedicated app that gives you access to a wide range of Google services depending on whether you stick with the free Lite version (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts) or shell out for the Premium version (Lite features plus G-Suite, comprising Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, plus Google Drive).

The app doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel – at first glance it’s little more than a wrapper for the web-based interface, so will be instantly familiar to those currently accessing Google services through their browser. That does it a disservice though, because Kiwi for Gmail basically integrates these services into your desktop, with support for multiple windows and – in the Premium version – up to six separate Google accounts. It also provides desktop shortcuts for Docs, Sheets and Slides to make the G Suite a contender for your default office tool. If all you want is a dedicated desktop front-end for Gmail, then the Lite version is sufficient, offering desktop notifications, separate window for composing email and the ability to make Kiwi your default mail handler. If you want to juggle multiple accounts or integrate G-Suite into your desktop, then the Premium version costs $9.99 a year on Windows (Mac users can get it for a one-off $9.99 through the app store). Other benefits of Premium include the ability to restore windows on restarting, support for keyboard shortcuts (and Chrome-based Gmail plugins) and the ability to directly open Google App files from the desktop.

Premium users on Windows also gain two exclusive features not (yet) found on the Mac, both of which aim to make the program less intrusive. The first is an “Important Only” notifications setting that allows you to prioritise alerts, and a “Do Not Disturb” feature for setting aside quiet time. Everything works slickly and as you’d expect – if you’re a Google aficionado and want to separate its mail and office features from your browser, then Kiwi for Gmail is well worth taking for a road-test. WhatsApp Messenger is the world's most popular instant messaging app for smartphones. You can use it to send and receive text and voice messages, photos, videos, even call your friends in other countries, and because it uses your phone's internet connection it might not cost you anything at all (depending on whether you'll pay data charges).
