Inbox When Ready for Gmail™ is a productivity-enhancing Chrome extension designed to help you optimize your email workflow by reducing distractions and managing time spent on your inbox. The extension hides your inbox by default, letting you search archives and compose emails without interruptions. You can set an inbox budget to limit how often and how long you spend checking emails, complete with visual feedback to track your progress. Additionally, it lets you schedule inbox lockout periods to focus on deep work and batch process emails efficiently.

Available in both free and PRO versions, the extension offers a 14-day free trial for PRO features, which include removing a signature added by the free version. Inbox When Ready prioritizes your privacy, requiring only minimal permissions to function and avoiding API access altogether, making it secure even for users under Google's Advanced Protection Programme. For more details or support, users can visit the official website or contact the developer directly.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Inbox When Ready for Gmail™ requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
