SUPERCHARGE GMAIL WITH SIMPLIFY Brought to you by the co-founder and design lead for Google Inbox, Simplify Gmail is a browser extension for desktop Gmail that boosts productivity, strengthens privacy, and reduces️ stress by:

✔️ BETTER DESIGN: Hundreds of improvements (small and large) to streamline, simplify, and enhance Gmail’s design and functionality. Hide the features you don’t use, customize the ones you do including setting the list and message width and fonts.

✔️ BUNDLES: Group conversations with the same label or category into a single row in your inbox for easier bulk reading and processing.

✔️ SAVED SEARCHES: Add commonly used searches or bookmark any message to your nav for easy access. Simplify includes 24 useful searches by default like Travel, Purchases, Archived, Attachments, Notes to self, PDFs, Photos, and more.

✔️ PAUSE INBOX: Pause new mail or hide the inbox entirely for deep focus. Optionally disable notifications when the inbox is paused or hidden.

✔️ BLOCK TRACKERS: Simplify blocks over 250 email spy trackers (more than any other tracker blocker extension).

✔️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS: Navigate faster with your arrow keys, Enter (to open, then to reply), and Escape (close a message, then to return to inbox). Use familiar shortcuts like Ctrl+A / ⌘A to select all or Ctrl+Z / ⌘Z to undo. Press "?" in Gmail to see all shortcuts. Also includes advanced shortcuts like [ I ] to reply to an intro and move the sender to BCC.

A must have for my Gmail
by ohadmaishar, 2024-09-10
So far so good! Gmail always felt too basic with not too many choices customising the UI/UX but this give so many options. Especially love the bundles, cleaned my inbox up while making sure the emails were still accessible, but grouped nicely together. Exploring the guides but will definitely purchase once free trial ends. Don't know why people think this should be free.
