Surface Again

Put any Gmail thread back on top of your inbox at a time you choose. One click. Nothing hidden, nothing resent.

Every office has someone who says "can you email that to me again so it's on top of my inbox?" The email isn't lost. It's just not on top anymore. Surface Again fixes that with one click. Open any Gmail thread, pick a time — tomorrow 8:00, Monday, or any time you choose — and the thread comes back to the top of your inbox at that moment: same conversation, marked unread, nothing hidden in between. HOW IT WORKS Surface Again uses Gmail's own "Schedule send". When you click a time, it writes a short reply on the thread addressed only to you and hands it to Gmail to deliver at that time. Gmail does the scheduling and the delivering. Surface Again never sends your email anywhere. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • It doesn't hide, archive or snooze anything. The thread stays exactly where it is until it surfaces. • It doesn't forward your email to anyone. The only recipient is you. • It doesn't read your mail on a server. It runs entirely inside your browser. THE REPLY IT WRITES The reply goes only to you and says "↑ Back on top. You set this on Fri, Nov 6.", with a small "Sent to yourself with Surface Again" line under it (you can turn that line off). Nobody else on the thread sees anything. If you hit Reply while it is there, your answer goes to the people in the conversation, not to you. Once you have opened the thread, the reminder moves to Gmail's Trash so the thread looks the way it did before (you can turn this off too). PRIVACY Surface Again asks for access to mail.google.com only. It keeps the threads you've set to come back (with their subject line) in Chrome's extension storage (synced to your other computers if Chrome sync is on). It sends our server a few usage events under a random install ID (installed, surfaced, undo and whether the leftover draft was cleared, already set, cancelled in Gmail, failed with a short reason code) so we know what's used and when Gmail changes break something. It never sends email content. The button is built with InboxSDK by Streak, which sends Streak technical error reports and a few basic "toolkit started" events, including a one-way scrambled code of your Gmail address (never the address or any email content).
