Email Tracker for Gmail™ - Sent Mail Log

Track your sent emails with a personal log. See when you sent what to whom, add notes, and stay organized. Free, fully local.

You sent an important email last Tuesday. Or was it Wednesday? It was to that client. Or maybe the partner. The subject was something about the Q3 proposal. You think. Gmail has a Sent folder, but it is just a chronological dump of everything you have ever sent. Finding a specific email means scrolling through hundreds of messages or trying to remember the exact search terms. There is no way to mark important sent emails, no way to add context, and no way to see your outreach at a glance. This extension gives you a personal sent email log. When you compose an email, toggle "Track" before sending. The recipient, subject, and timestamp get saved to a local journal. Add notes like "follow up Friday" or "waiting for approval." Open the tracker panel anytime to see your tracked emails in one clean list. No external servers. No pixel tracking. No read receipts. Just a private log of the emails you choose to remember. WHY A SENT EMAIL LOG MATTERS Gmail's Sent folder is not a tracking tool. It is an archive. When you need to answer questions like "what did I send this week?" or "who am I waiting to hear back from?" the Sent folder does not help: - No way to mark important sent emails. Everything sits in the same chronological list - the critical proposal next to the casual reply. - No way to add notes. You sent an email and need to follow up Friday. Where do you write that? A separate task app? A sticky note? Gmail gives you nowhere to annotate your sent messages. - No quick overview. If you send 20 emails a day, finding the 3 that matter requires scrolling and scanning. - No outreach tracking. Freelancers, salespeople, and job seekers send dozens of cold emails. There is no way to see them all in one view with context. This extension creates a separate, curated log for the emails that matter. You decide which ones to track. Everything else stays in the Sent folder where it belongs. WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES Email Tracker for Gmail adds a "Track" toggle to every compose window. When you activate it before sending, the email gets logged to your personal tracker. A floating button opens a side panel where you see all your tracked emails. Here is what you get: Track Toggle - A small button appears in your compose toolbar. Click it to activate tracking for that email. It does not change the email itself or add anything to the message. It simply tells the extension to log the send. Automatic Logging - When you hit Send with tracking active, the extension captures the recipient, subject line, and timestamp. This happens instantly, locally, with no delay to your send. Side Panel Log - Click the floating button to open a slide-in panel showing all your tracked emails. Each entry shows who you sent to, the subject, and when. Newest first. Personal Notes - Every tracked email has a note field. Type "follow up Monday," "waiting for contract," or "sent second reminder." Notes save on blur. No save button needed. Time Display - Timestamps show in human-readable format: "Just now," "3h ago," "Mon," or "Jun 15." Hover for the full date and time. Delete Entries - Remove any entry you no longer need. One click, gone. Up to 500 Entries - The log stores up to 500 tracked emails locally. More than enough for months of tracking. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the extension. No sign-in, no setup. 2. Open Gmail and compose a new email. 3. Click the "Track" button in the compose toolbar to activate tracking. 4. Write your email normally and hit Send. 5. Click the floating button to see your tracked email in the panel. That is it. Track what matters, ignore the rest. WHY NOT JUST USE THE SENT FOLDER The Sent folder is a complete archive. This tracker is a curated list. The difference matters: Your Sent folder has every auto-reply, every "thanks," every forwarded article, every one-line response. The signal-to-noise ratio is terrible for tracking important outreach. This tracker only contains emails you explicitly chose to track. Every entry is something you decided was worth remembering. That makes it useful as an actual working tool, not just a storage dump. The notes feature is what makes it actionable. "Follow up Thursday" turns a sent email from a historical record into an active task. You can scan your tracker each morning and know exactly what needs attention. REAL SCENARIOS WHERE THIS HELPS Sales outreach: You send 15 cold emails per week. Track each one with a note like "Decision maker, connected via LinkedIn." Open the panel on Friday, see who you emailed, add follow-up notes. No spreadsheet needed. Job applications: You are applying to 10 companies. Track each application email with a note: "Applied for Senior PM, referred by Alex." Two weeks later, open the tracker to see who you have not heard from and need to follow up with. Client management: You send a proposal to a client. Track it with "Proposal v2, $45k, deadline June 15." When the client calls, you open the tracker and have the context immediately without searching your Sent folder. Project coordination: You assign tasks via email to 5 team members. Track each one: "Asked Sarah for Q3 forecast by Tuesday." Monday morning, scan the tracker to see what should be coming back. Freelancer invoicing: You send invoices via email. Track each one: "Invoice #1047, $2,400, net 30." The tracker becomes your accounts receivable list. Personal follow-ups: You email your landlord about a repair. Track it: "Reported leak, expecting response by Friday." If Friday comes with no reply, you know to follow up.
