Simplify Gmail (Canary)

Make Gmail simpler, more capable, and more respectful

CANARY BUILD: This is the canary version of Simplify Gmail. I release updates here first so I can catch any issues before I update Simplify for everyone. Sometimes, it is also a place where I try crazy things and get feedback to help decide if or how to launch something. You can find the stable release for your browser at https://simpl.fyi _________________________________________________________ ABOUT SIMPLIFY Brought to you by Michael Leggett, Gmail's lead designer from 2008 to 2012 and the co-founder of Google Inbox, Simplify Gmail is a browser extension for desktop Gmail that boosts productivity, strengthens privacy, and reduces️ stress by: ✔️ BETTER DESIGN: Hundreds of improvements (small and large) to streamline, simplify, and enhance Gmail’s design and functionality. Hide the features you don’t use, customize the ones you do including setting the list and message width and fonts. ✔️ BUNDLES: Group conversations with the same label or category into a single row in your inbox for easier bulk reading and processing. ✔️ SAVED SEARCHES: Add commonly used searches or bookmark any message to your nav for easy access. Simplify includes 24 useful searches by default like Travel, Purchases, Archived, Attachments, Notes to self, PDFs, Photos, and more. ✔️ PAUSE INBOX: Pause new mail or hide the inbox entirely for deep focus. Optionally disable notifications when the inbox is paused or hidden. ✔️ BLOCK TRACKERS: Simplify blocks over 250 email spy trackers (more than any other tracker blocker extension). ✔️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS: Navigate faster with your arrow keys, Enter (to open, then to reply), and Escape (close a message, then to return to inbox). Use familiar shortcuts like Ctrl+A / ⌘A to select all or Ctrl+Z / ⌘Z to undo. Press "?" in Gmail to see all shortcuts. Also includes advanced shortcuts like [ I ] to reply to an intro and move the sender to BCC. ✔️ DARK MODE: Auto-switch with OS with options to invert all of Gmail’s UI and some or all messages. ✔️ GROUP BY DATE: Group messages list by date with bulk actions to one-click archive or delete. ✔️ INBOX ZERO BACKGROUND: Choose a different background to get when you reach inbox zero. ✔️ AUTO-CC/BCC: Set addresses to add to every new message and/or reply And much more... _________________________________________________________ PAID PLAN REQUIRED AFTER 1 MONTH TRIAL Comes with a free 1-month trial after which a paid plan is required.
