gCount is a menu bar item that displays the number of unread messages in your GMail account. Version 0.3 adds many new features:

• Sound notification of new mail.
• Login info is now stored in keychain, no longer in the preferences plist. If you used v0.1 or v0.2 and launch v0.3, it will migrate your old login info to the keychain and delete it from the plist.
