History

Owl was originally developed by Adalid Claure (aclaure@gmail.com). The program was originally released a closed sourced project in 2014. Many of the icons were created by Robert Burnham (burntham77@gmail.com) and the original vBulletin encryptor plugin was written by Joe DiBiasi (joedibiasi@gmail.com).

Owl is named in the spirit of the popular OSX email client, Sparrow, from which many UX ideas were taken.
