Papercut
A desktop SMTP server and email viewer for safe email testing during development.
What is Papercut?
Papercut SMTP is a desktop application that acts as a local SMTP server and email viewer for development and testing. It captures emails sent from applications during development, preventing them from being delivered to real addresses while allowing developers to inspect every detail of the message instantly. It solves the problem of accidentally sending test emails to real users and the slow feedback loop of traditional email testing setups.
Developers and QA engineers who need to test email-sending functionality in applications, websites, or services during local development or staging.
Developers choose Papercut SMTP because it's a simple, dedicated tool that eliminates the risk of sending test emails to real recipients while providing immediate visual feedback. Its combination of a lightweight SMTP server with a rich email viewer streamlines the email testing workflow without requiring complex server setup.
