GLINTOS MINI-APP · COMMUNICATION
Your inbox, in view.
Nothing sent until you say so.
The Gmail mini-app puts your inbox on your Maverick AI or AI Pro glasses: see what is unread, read page by page and answer from the temple touchpad.
What it is.
The Gmail mini-app for GlintOS puts your own inbox on the see-through display of Everysight Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. See what is unread, read a message page by page with the temple touchpad, then reply, reply all, forward or write a new email, or archive mail and move it to Trash. Nothing is sent until you confirm it.
Your Android phone fetches mail straight from Google, through the Google account you connect once in the GlintOS phone companion app, with no GlintOS server and no API key. A demo mailbox with made-up messages lets you try every screen first. Connecting your own account depends on the developer registering GlintOS with Google.
What you get.
Clean reading
Quoted history, signatures and long links are trimmed, so the message itself fits on its pages.
Answer from the glasses
Reply, Reply all, Forward or Write, typed on the glasses keyboard or dictated. Replies stay in the Gmail conversation.
Confirm before sending
The last step names who it goes to and has Edit selected first, so a stray tap never sends.
Quick triage
Delete moves mail to Gmail’s Trash with a 6-second Undo. More offers Archive and Mark unread.
Nothing you write is lost
A failed or uncertain send is kept as a draft to Retry, Edit or Discard. It is never resent on its own.
Readable offline
The last inbox page stays on screen with a note such as OFFLINE · AS OF 14:12.
On your glasses.
Inbox
Pages of Sender · Subject rows, four at normal text and three at Larger text, with kept drafts first. Write and Refresh sit below.
Message
Sender, time, subject and text in pages, with Reply, Forward, Delete and a More row for Archive and Mark unread.
Forward to or Send to
Type an address, or pick one of your recent contacts.
Send confirm
Who it goes to and the subject, with Edit as the default button and Send beside it.
Unsent
Why a draft was not sent, such as NOT SENT · NO CONNECTION, with Retry, Edit and Discard.
How you control it.
| Swipe forward | Moves to the next row, page, contact or button. On the keyboard, it moves along the keys. |
|---|---|
| Swipe back | Moves the other way. |
| Tap | Opens the focused message, types the highlighted key or presses the focused button. |
| Long tap | Goes back one step, and from the inbox to Home. If Long tap is set to Assistant in Settings > Input, it starts the assistant instead. |
| Voice | Tap Mic in the subject or message field to dictate through your phone, then review the words before they are inserted. |
Gestures come from the temple touchpad on Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. An optional R08+ smart ring can send the same gestures from your finger.
Home and phone.
An Inbox widget in three sizes shows the unread count and the newest unread sender and subject; Large adds three messages. Data older than 30 minutes is dated; demo data is marked DEMO.
Gmail’s page in the GlintOS phone companion app shows its status, your Google account state and an Allow Gmail button when Google needs your OK.
A Gmail or Demo data source with demo scenarios, and the Mark read when opened switch.
Kept drafts to send or delete, each behind a confirmation, and a Refresh button.
What you need.
- Glasses
- Maverick AI or AI Pro
Mail is read and answered on the glasses. No eye tracking or camera is used.
- Phone
- Android 11 or later
Google Play services must be up to date for Google sign-in. Android only for now.
- Account
- Your own Google account
Add it in Android settings, then connect it once in the GlintOS phone companion app under Settings > Accounts > Google. GlintOS’s Google sign-in for Gmail is still in Google’s testing stage, so for now only accounts on the project’s test list can connect.
- API key
- Not needed
You never create or paste a key or token.
- Permissions
- Gmail consent
Google asks you to allow reading, sending, labels and Trash; this access cannot delete mail permanently. The microphone is needed only to dictate.
- Internet
- Needed on the phone
Opening messages and sending need a connection. The last inbox page stays readable offline.
- Cost
- No GlintOS fee
Google’s own Gmail limits apply.
These rows are about Gmail. GlintOS itself also needs internet on the phone the first time it connects to your glasses and about once a month after that, when the glasses’ security certificate is renewed.
Set it up.
- Add your Google account to the phone in Android settings.
- In the GlintOS phone companion app, open Settings > Accounts > Google, tap Connect and approve Gmail access.
- If the glasses say Allow Gmail on your phone, tap Allow and approve on the phone.
- Optional: allow the microphone to dictate, and add the Inbox widget.
- To look first, tap Try demo. Choose Gmail under Data source on Gmail’s page in the phone companion app to return.
Your data.
- Mail goes from Google straight to your phone, with no GlintOS server between. The mini-app never sees your Google tokens.
- For offline use, the app keeps the last inbox page’s senders, subjects and times, never message text. The cache and any drafts are wiped when you disconnect.
- Logs never hold subjects, text or addresses. Your phone’s speech provider may process dictation online.
Good to know.
- Only the Inbox’s 20 newest messages, one per row rather than conversations, with no search, Sent view or other folders.
- Attachments cannot be opened and are left out of forwards. HTML mail shows as plain text, and there are no new-mail alerts.
- New emails have no Cc or Bcc, and word completion is English only.
- GlintOS is in development, with the free public APK planned for December 2026; real-glasses checks are pending. While Google registration is in testing, consent shows an unverified app warning and expires every 7 days.
Questions.
Can I read Gmail on Maverick AI glasses?
Yes, with GlintOS and its Gmail mini-app. You see the unread count, read messages page by page, and reply, forward, archive or delete with the temple touchpad.
Do I need an API key to use Gmail on the glasses?
No. You connect your own Google account once in the GlintOS phone companion app. Whether it can connect depends on the developer registering GlintOS with Google.
Can a stray tap send an email?
No. Every send ends with a confirm whose default button is Edit, and Delete offers Undo for 6 seconds.
