The Problem
Your inbox has 847 emails after a long weekend. You need to see only 46.
Gmail shows everything at once — unread, read, newsletters, automated notifications, all stacked together. Finding emails that need your attention means scrolling, searching, and losing focus.
Unreadify adds a single toggle next to Gmail's search bar. Click once to see only unread emails. Click again for read-only. Click once more to restore the full inbox. No setup, no configuration, no data sent anywhere.
- Filter to unread emails only — focus on what needs your attention
- Filter to read emails only — review what you've already processed
- Return to full inbox view with one click
- Date filters: Today, Yesterday — narrow to recent emails
- Focus filter: To Me — cut out CC'd noise instantly
- Session auto-start in Unread mode every morning
- Works in every Gmail view — inbox, labels, categories, nested folders
- Suspends automatically when you run your own Gmail searches
Features
What Gmail's Native Filters Can't Do — Without Leaving Your Inbox
Works Everywhere in Gmail
Primary inbox, all custom labels, nested labels (2+ levels deep), Gmail category tabs (Promotions, Social, Updates, Forums), and reading pane / split view.
- All custom & nested labels
- Category tabs (Promotions, Social)
- Split view & reading pane
Date Filters — Today & Yesterday
Narrow your filtered view to emails from today or yesterday. Combine Unread + Today for a zero-noise morning triage. Free in v1.2.
- Today filter — emails from today only
- Yesterday filter — review what you missed
- Combine with any read/unread mode
Focus Filter — Emails Sent To Me
Cut CC noise instantly. Filter to emails addressed directly to you. Combine with Unread + Today for your most urgent triage. Free in v1.2.
- To Me — direct emails only
- Cuts CC and BCC clutter
- Combinable with date filters
Dark Mode Adaptive
Auto-detects Gmail's dark or light theme and adapts the filter dropdown and toast notifications to match perfectly — no configuration needed.
- Auto-detects light & dark theme
- Adaptive dropdown styling
- Toast notifications match theme
Smart Search Detection
Recognises when you type your own Gmail searches and suspends auto-filtering automatically. Resumes when you navigate back — zero interference.
- Detects user-initiated searches
- Auto-suspends filter during search
- Auto-resumes on navigation back
Zero Data Collection
Your email content is never accessed, read, or transmitted. Only your filter preference is stored locally in Chrome sync storage (under 1KB).
- No email content accessed
- No external server calls
- Under 1KB stored locally
Session Auto-Start in Unread Mode
Opens Gmail in Unread mode on every session. Start each day focused on emails that need your attention — not the ones you already handled.
- Every Gmail session starts in Unread
- Preference synced via Chrome storage
- No reconfiguration needed

Privacy by Design — Not as an Afterthought
Unreadify uses Gmail's own URL filtering mechanism — the same approach Gmail uses internally for label navigation. No email content is ever accessed, no data is sent to any external server, and no analytics are collected.
The only data stored is your filter mode preference (Unread / Read / Normal), saved locally in Chrome's sync storage (under 1KB). No login. No account. No servers.
Universal Gmail Compatibility — Inbox to Nested Labels
Works across every part of Gmail: primary inbox, all custom labels you've created, Gmail's category tabs (Promotions, Social, Updates, Forums), nested labels multiple levels deep, and reading pane / split view mode.
Thread view is handled intelligently — switching filter modes while reading an email automatically returns you to the filtered list, preserving your current label or category context.
Advanced Filtering — Now Free in v1.2.0
v1.2 ships an advanced filter popup alongside the one-click toggle. Date filters narrow your view to Today or Yesterday. The Focus filter To Me shows only emails addressed directly to you — cutting CC'd and BCC'd noise in one click.
Combine any mode with any filter: Unread + Today + To Me = only your unread emails from today that need a reply. Coming in v2.0: extended date ranges (Week, Month, Custom), My Org / External sender filters, unlimited saved presets, and keyboard shortcuts.
Built for Anyone Who Manages Email Seriously
Unreadify for Gmail is used daily by professionals across every function — anywhere email volume creates noise:
- Product Managers — start every morning in Unread mode to triage priority threads before standups
- Developers & Engineers — privacy-conscious users who want zero data collection and a minimal footprint
- Operations & Support Teams — use Read mode to confirm what's already been handled; Unread to catch what hasn't
- Freelancers & Consultants — filter by label + Unread to focus on one client at a time
- Google Workspace Teams — recommend it internally; zero-configuration means no IT ticket needed
Why Not Just Use Gmail's Search?
Gmail search is powerful — but it's not designed for persistent inbox filtering. Here's the difference:
- Gmail Search: Requires typing every time. Clears when you click away. Doesn't persist across navigation.
- Unreadify: One click. Persists as you navigate between labels and categories. Remembered next session.
Unreadify doesn't replace Gmail search — it handles the workflow it can't: staying in a filtered view while you browse your inbox normally. Think of it as a persistent lens over Gmail, not a one-time search.
Google Workspace Ready — All Editions Supported
Unreadify works with every Google Workspace edition out of the box. No admin configuration. No special permissions. Employees can install it independently from the Chrome Web Store.
- ✓ Google Workspace Starter

Customer Stories
Loved by teams worldwide
★★★★★
I open Gmail every morning and the first thing I see is only my unread emails. Sounds simple but it completely changed how I start my day. I get through email in 15 minutes instead of an hour.
★★★★★
Checked the extension source u2014 it genuinely only touches the URL. No scary permissions, no data collection, no servers. Does exactly one thing and does it right.
★★★★★
Showed my whole team and they all installed it in the same Zoom call. The zero-configuration setup is a big deal when you manage a busy team.
