The 8 built-in palettes, exact hex. Press t to cycle, like the theme picker in parcel.
What's in the box
Small parcel. Lots inside.
No daemon, no index, no lock-in. parcel is a fast front end for the email CLI you already trust.
ϟNO DAEMON
Starts instantly
No daemon, no index. It opens, asks the backend for your inbox, and gets out of the way.
◐LIVE
Omarchy live theme
Follows your system theme and repaints the moment it changes. Or pick from 8 built-ins, or your own.
✓OPTIMISTIC
Optimistic triage
Star, archive, move and delete update the screen immediately. The backend call happens after, and a failure puts the message back.
✎$EDITOR
Write in your editor
Compose, reply and forward hand off to $EDITOR. Close it, then send, edit again or discard.
{}--JSON
Scriptable
Reading and triage are also commands; add --json for machine-readable output. Compose, reply and forward live in the TUI.
