Inbox When Ready for Gmail™

Protect your focus... spend less time on your email.

Inbox When Ready for Gmail™ is a Chrome extension designed to help you manage your email with greater focus and efficiency. By hiding your inbox by default and letting you access it only when you choose, it minimizes distractions and enables deeper work. You can set an inbox budget to control how often and how long you engage with your email, and schedule inbox lockouts to batch process messages at optimal times.

With over 5,000 weekly users, this tool promises to help reclaim about an hour each week spent on email. The free version adds a small signature to your emails, while the PRO version removes this and includes a 14-day free trial. Privacy is a top priority — the extension uses minimal browser permissions, avoids Gmail API access, and supports Google's Advanced Protection Program. For more details and to manage your email better, visit the official site or support email included.
