Sift — A Filter Toolbar for Gmail

Filter Gmail by calendar invites, attachment type, AI notes, or regular mail.

Sift adds a lightweight filter toolbar directly to your Gmail inbox, so you can instantly focus on the emails that matter, without archiving, labeling, or leaving the page. One click switches your inbox between views: • All Mail: everything, unfiltered • Mail Only: hide calendar invites • Calendar Only: meeting invites and calendar mail • Attachments Only: any email with a file attached • Favourites Only: your starred messages • Images / PDFs / Docs / Sheets / Slides: filter by attachment type • AI & Transcription, Dev (experimental): emails from AI tools or GitHub/GitLab Why install it: - Instant - filtering happens client-side, with no page reload and no network calls - Works everywhere in Gmail - inbox, sent, labels, search results, any folder - Persistent - your selected filter survives pagination and navigation - Customizable - button text, toolbar alignment, light/dark/system theme, icon-only mode - Accessible - full keyboard navigation, live-region announcements, forced-colours support - Private by design - zero external requests, no data collected or transmitted, ever - Cross-browser - the same toolbar on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox Sift doesn't change your email, doesn't touch your data, and doesn't phone home — it just gives you a faster way to see the inbox you already have.
