Social Layer

Pause before you send. Social Layer helps you avoid misunderstandings in Gmail by suggesting a moment of reflection.

Social Layer is a Gmail extension designed to help you avoid misunderstandings before an email is sent. Right before you click Send, Social Layer analyzes the tone and context of your message. If it detects a higher risk of emotional escalation or misinterpretation, it gently suggests a short pause — giving you a chance to reconsider. This is especially useful when: You’re replying under pressure or frustration A message might sound harsher than you intend An email could affect a professional or personal relationship Social Layer does not rewrite your emails, block sending, or change your content. You always stay in control — edit the message or send it as-is. The extension is designed to be subtle and intervene only when it matters, avoiding unnecessary interruptions. All processing is performed locally in your browser. Email content is never stored, logged, or transmitted to external servers. One-line summary Social Layer gives you a moment to think before sending messages you might regret.
