GMDesk: use Google Apps applications stand alone

If you use Google’s services a lot, you might have wanted at one time or another to use them as stand alone applications. GMDesk is an Adobe AIR application that allows you to do just that.

GMDesk offers you access to GMail, Google Calendar, Google Documents, Google Maps, Google Reader and Picasa . It also offers the ability to switch between the Google Services via keyboard shortcuts.

It allows you to use any of the applications without opening a web browser and being distracted by surfing or checking the latest in Facebook. It saves time because you don’t have to wait for your browser to open and, if you use more than one browser, there is no problem switching between them.

this application required Adobe AIR. If you are not using Adobe AIR already go to Get Adobe Air, download it and install it.

If you are already using Adobe AIR – Download GMDesk and run the installer.
