MailLayer

Convert mailto links and found emails into pop-up message windows for Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo Mail.

Or worse—finding a plain-text email address and having to manually copy, open a new tab, load Gmail, click compose, and paste? Meet MailLayer. 🚀 MailLayer is a lightweight, non-intrusive browser extension that turns any email link or plain-text address on the internet into an instant compose window in your favorite webmail client (Gmail, Outlook Web, or Yahoo Mail). Click an email address, and MailLayer instantly launches a clean, focused, distraction-free composition pop-up window so you can write and send messages without losing your place. ✨ Key Features ✨ 🔗 Smart Mailto Interception: Automatically catches standard "mailto:" links so you never accidentally launch unwanted desktop email apps again. 🔍 Universal Email Detection (Magic UX): Toggle on our smart scanner to detect plain-text email addresses across any webpage. MailLayer turns them into subtle, clickable triggers instantly. 🖱️ Highlight & Right-Click: Found a block of text containing multiple email addresses?
