Try Redwood, a new desktop app written in MacRuby
Redwood is a “Spotlight for your web apps” – it searches Basecamp, GMail, and GDocs from your Mac desktop. In a future release, you will be able to write plugins in Ruby to search more services. Redwood is written in MacRuby 0.9 and Cocoa. This is an early release, and we’d love your feedback! Here’s a direct download link (OSX 10.6+ required).

Hi Andre,
I tried Redwood and can’t seem to get it to find my gmail id when I click the preference’s Test button - and search doesn’t seem to do anything - no err msg nothing?
OSX is 10.6.6

Hey Dennis, Redwood creates a log in ~/Library/Logs/Redwood.log – can you email that to: hello@redwoodapp.com. Thanks!
We released an update fixing the Gmail authentication issue. From within Redwood, select Redwood » Check for Updates, or download Redwood here. Feedback appreciated!
It would be better if the gmail/gdocs search worked with accounts that use your own domain.
Hey Mike,
Redwood will support Google Apps for your domain by v1.0. Thanks for the feedback!
