**N1 is an open-source mail client built on the modern web with [Electron](https://github.com/atom/electron), [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/), and [Flux](https://facebook.github.io/flux/).** It is designed to be extensible, so it's easy to create new experiences and workflows around email. N1 runs against the [Nylas Sync Engine](https://www.nylas.com/sync_engine), which is also [open source](https://github.com/nylas/N1).
