## Description

Gmail Notification watches one or more Google accounts you're already logged into in your browser and tells you when new mail arrives — without keeping a Gmail tab open.
<ul><li>Multiple Gmail accounts at once — detects every currently logged-in Google account and lets you pick which ones to watch, reorderable.</li><li>Popup preview — click the toolbar icon to see the latest unread mail per account (sender, subject) and open it directly; click an account's name to open its inbox even with nothing unread.</li><li>Notification, sound, and toolbar badge — each independently toggleable, sound off by default.</li><li>Checked every 2 minutes, one background check for the whole browser so multiple open windows never trigger duplicate sounds.</li><li>Light/dark/system theme.</li><li>No OAuth, no Google Cloud project, no password ever entered or seen. Uses your browser's existing Gmail session. Nothing leaves your device.</li></ul>
