OK, this is a project I can stand behind: download YOUR OWN data locally, query it in n different ways quickly, delete / sync up with Gmail, all from your TUI.

Would love to see something similar for Google Photos, and Apple Photos.

Ditto - completely appeals to me. I’m good starting with mail.

For Google photos immich works pretty well for me.

I keep meaning to switch to either immich or ente, but can't decide.

Would love to see support for Google Voice messages in the future.

Neat idea but you could build this with a fraction of the complexity by ditching sqlite and duckdb for your native file system and rg/grep/gawk with equivalent performance

grep with equivalent performance? i highly doubt that. my mailbox has 2.6M emails: running grep through millions of files if you use maildir or a similar format takes forever. likewise running grep on a 7.6GB large mbox file takes more than a minute.

on the other hand in supmua (which inspired notmuch) the same search takes seconds.
