GMDesk is an single stand alone Adobe AIR-based client for Google services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Reader, Picasa Web Albums and Google Maps. If you are using GMDesk, then there is no need to open up all the various Google Services in a web browser, or have it clutter your workspace.

Using GMDesk is very easy, launch the application and just alt-tab (on Windows or Linux) or Cmd-tab (on Mac) to shift between this application and the other ones you are running. GMDesk also offers an easy menu as well as keyboard shortcuts (Control + [1-6]) to switch between various Google services, and you can specify what default service you want the application to start with. Google Apps users have something to rejoice for here as it supports Google Apps as well :)

GMDesk however has a couple of limitations.

  1. You can have only one window open at a time
  2. Font size is small - (The developer is looking into this issue currently and will soon come up with a fix)

If these two limitations are overcome, then GMDesk will be among the best Adobe AIR applications managing 6 services at one go.

Download GMDesk. Do note that it requires Adobe AIR.
