Tolomail

Thread maps, awaiting replies, searchable attachments — privately, on your device. Requires Gmail Conversation View.

Tolomail is a Gmail companion that helps you navigate long conversations, never lose a reply, and find attachments fast. The name comes from "Tolomeo" — Italian for Ptolemy, the Alexandrian astronomer who first mapped the heavens — plus "mail." Tolomail maps your inbox the way Ptolemy mapped the stars. ▸ THREAD MAP See the structure of any Gmail conversation at a glance. Tolomail renders threads as a tree (reply relationships), a table (sortable by date/sender), or a list of who you're still waiting on. Open any thread in Gmail and the map appears in Chrome's side panel. ▸ AWAITING REPLIES Tolomail scans your sent mail and flags threads where you've replied but the other person hasn't responded for N days (configurable). Stop losing important conversations to inbox overload. ▸ ATTACHMENTS, SEARCHABLE Browse every attachment you've ever received in one searchable view. Filter by type (PDF, image, doc), sender, or date. Click to open in Gmail. Off by default — turn on in Settings or from the toolbar popup. ▸ THREAD-LEVEL NOTES Pin a private note to any thread — visible only in Tolomail, never sent to anyone. Useful for "called Anna about this, awaiting paperwork" annotations. ▸ MULTI-ACCOUNT SUPPORT Use Tolomail with multiple Gmail accounts. Each account's data is fully isolated. Switch between accounts in the popup, or let Tolomail auto-follow your Gmail tab focus. ▸ OPTIONAL CLOUD BACKUP Sync your notes, awaiting list, and favorites to your own Google Drive (in a private folder only Tolomail can see) so they survive a Chrome reinstall or move to a new computer. Off by default. Toggle on in Settings to enable. ▸ PRIVACY-FIRST • Your Gmail data is read in your browser and stored locally on your device — never uploaded to any Tolomail server. • Tolomail does not run any backend service that receives your data. • No analytics, no tracking, no ads. • Open about what permissions are used and why (see Privacy Policy). PERMISSIONS • Gmail (read-only): to render thread maps and extract attachment metadata • Google Drive (appdata only): for the optional notes backup • Standard Chrome permissions (storage, side panel, downloads) for local data and UI For full details on data handling, see the Privacy Policy linked from this page. KNOWN LIMITATIONS • Tolomail reads your Gmail; it never modifies, sends, or deletes mail. • Large mailboxes (>10k attachments) take a few minutes for the first sync. • Multi-account auto-switching uses Gmail's /u/N/ URL pattern; if you use the same Google account in multiple Chrome profiles, switching is tab-focus-based.
