HummingDeck: Email Attachment Tracker with Per-Page Analytics

Track who opens your documents. Share files from Gmail with tracked links. Per-page analytics and real-time alerts.

Email tracking is broken. Gmail blocks tracking pixels. Apple Mail preloads them. Outlook strips them. You either get false opens or no data at all. HummingDeck takes a different approach. Instead of tracking the email, track the document. Replace your email attachment with a tracked link. When the recipient opens it, you see exactly what they did: which pages they read, how long they spent on each one, and whether they came back for a second look. No tracking pixels. No read receipts that don't work. Real engagement data from the document itself. How it works in Gmail: 1. Compose your email 2. Click "Track with HummingDeck" in the compose window 3. Select your file (PDF, PowerPoint, or Word) 4. A tracked link replaces the attachment 5. Send your email. See what happens next. What email trackers can't tell you: An email tracker says "opened." That's it. It can't tell you: - Did they actually read your proposal, or just preview the email? - Which pages held their attention? Did they get to pricing? - Did they forward it to their boss? Their legal team? - Did they come back three days later without you following up? - How long did they spend: 10 seconds or 10 minutes? HummingDeck answers all of these. Per-page analytics show exactly where attention goes. Multiple viewers on one link tell you it was shared internally. Return visit alerts tell you when someone comes back on their own. Real-time alerts: Get notified the moment someone opens your document. Email or Slack, your choice. No checking dashboards. The signal comes to you. Bot-filtered analytics: Corporate email security systems like Microsoft Defender SafeLinks, Proofpoint, and Barracuda automatically scan every link in incoming emails. Other tracking tools count these scans as real views. You follow up thinking they read your proposal. They haven't opened their email yet. HummingDeck filters automated scans with three-layer bot detection so every view in your dashboard is a real person. Not a security crawler. The popup: Click the HummingDeck icon in Chrome to see all your tracked documents at a glance. View counts, unique viewers, last activity. Sorted by most recent. No need to leave Gmail. Works with any email: Track proposals, pitch decks, case studies, reports, contracts. Any document you share via email. PDF, PowerPoint, Word. Drag, drop, share. Recipients click the link and view your document in a clean, branded viewer. No login required. No app to install. No friction. Who uses this: Sales teams tracking proposals and following up based on real engagement. Founders sharing pitch decks with investors and tracking who actually reads them. Agencies sharing deliverables and knowing which pages clients reviewed before the call. Anyone tired of sending documents into the dark and wondering what happened. Better than email read receipts: Read receipts require the recipient to accept them. Most people decline. Gmail doesn't support them for personal accounts. Tracking pixels get blocked by default in most email clients. HummingDeck doesn't need permission from the recipient and doesn't depend on their email client. The tracking is in the document viewer, not the email. It works every time. Pricing: Free plan: 5 documents, per-document analytics, email notifications. No credit card required. Privacy and security: Documents stored in Google Cloud with encryption at rest and in transit. Share links support password protection, expiration dates, and download controls.
