Mbox Viewer
A local-first tool to turn .mbox archives into readable, searchable HTML files.
I built this as a desktop app and CLI tool for converting mailbox exports into portable web files that are easy to open, search and share without a server.
Web version
A simple tool for mailbox archives that are hard to inspect.
The web version is useful for a quick peek, but it is not meant for large archives or sensitive data. The real value is in the desktop app and CLI workflow: process files locally, keep everything on your machine, and export an offline HTML archive you can search and open anywhere.
- Converts .mbox to HTML
- Offline and local-first
- Desktop + CLI distribution
- Searchable exports
