About

PostPilot is a developer tool inspired by Laravel Herd's mail panel, designed to simplify email testing during development. It provides a local SMTP server that captures outgoing emails and displays them in a modern, user-friendly interface.

Features

Current

  • 📬 Local SMTP server for email testing
  • 🎨 Modern, responsive UI built with React and Tailwind CSS
  • 🌓 Light/Dark mode support
  • 📱 Preview emails in different formats (HTML, Text, Raw)
  • 🔍 Basic search capabilities

Installation

If you're on Linux or Windows you can go check out the releases page and download the binary for your platform. As I don't yet have a Windows signing certificate, Windows users will have to skip past the scary "This software may harm your computer" warning, or build from source using the below instructions.

Arch users can install PostPilot from the AUR:

yay -S postpilot-bin

Building from source

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/watzon/postpilot.git
  2. Install dependencies

    make dep
  3. Build the project

    make build

The binary will be located in the build/bin directory.

Development

Development requires the Wails CLI, which you can install with:

go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails@latest

Then run the following command to start the development server:

wails dev
