The full story

GigaMail is a free, open-source desktop email client for Mac, Windows and Linux, meant to let an AI agent work safely on real mail. Its maker built it almost entirely with Claude Code and Cowork, using Opus 5 to 5.5 and Fable for the hardest parts.

In two months it went from a buggy MCP server to desktop apps at version 0.6.7, with better security and attachment masking. A security release, a mobile app and dedicated addresses for agents are planned.

The maker says teams at estate agencies, law firms, nonprofits and an Italian university use it.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
