What Alrighty needs, how to install it, and what happens the first time it opens.
Alrighty is a mail app for Mac, Windows and Linux. Add your iCloud, Gmail and Outlook accounts and read them in one inbox.
What you need
- A Mac with Apple silicon, a PC with Windows 10 or 11, or a Linux computer with GNOME Keyring or KWallet.
- An iCloud, Gmail or Outlook account. Outlook covers Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live and Microsoft 365 addresses.
- About 350 MB of free space for the search model.
Install
Download Alrighty for your computer, then install it:
- Mac: open the disk image, drag Alrighty to Applications, and open it from there.
- Windows: open Alrighty-Setup.exe. It installs Alrighty and opens it. Later, find it in the Start menu.
- Linux: open the .deb or .rpm to install it. For the AppImage, allow it to run as a program, then open it.
The first time it opens
Click Sign up in your browser and create your Alrighty account. Then add a mail account. Each kind signs in a different way:
- Connect iCloud with an app-specific password.
- Connect Gmail with Google's sign-in page.
- Connect Outlook with Microsoft's sign-in page.
Alrighty also downloads its search model, about 350 MB, once. Search by meaning runs on your computer, so it needs a model of its own.
