Reviews & Comments of Inbox When Ready for Gmail™ chrome extension

Works great.

Super useful, love it! And works great without any hiccups

This is a life saver for my ability to focus...!

So helpful! I'm very grateful for this extension. It helps to eliminate mindless email checking when all you see is a blank inbox when you check it!

have not tried it yet

Used to use boomerang for pausing my inbox, but hiding it (with this plugin) is much more effective!

Amazing extension. Something so simple as to hide my inbox adds a lot to my productivity. Thank you!!

While I probably don't use it to its full potential, it's super helpful in that it makes me intentional about when I open email

Great productivity hack, love it

It's a great tool that helps me to stay focused. Yay!!!!

I use it for a long time and it does what is supposed to do. thank you.

very helpful to not get distracted with a full inbox

Inbox When Ready is great! It's strictures reveal how embarrassingly much I peek at email ;D. I hope I can be smart enough to keep Inbox When Ready enabled for the rest of my internet existence. Peter - the creator/ founder - is great too!

Awesome app, one of the few that are genuinely useful and well thought out. Has improved my mental states and inbox anxiety because I can avoid looking at the long list of emails whenever I need to find anything.

This is really useful. It's the only solution I found for turning off my Inbox, and it is nice to be locked out sometimes! I also appreciate the donated license for working at a nonprofit. Thank you!

One of the few Chrome extensions that I find wildly useful!

One of the most seamless extensions on Chrome, works perfectly and has a prominent impact on productivity :) definitelly recommend it

It's simple and it works!

Love it

I love itttttt. Save my time tremendously

Such an anxiety remover not being able to see all my emails when I just want to send one!

grateful for this deceptively simple tool that saves time and, more importantly, saves my attention and energy from emails. it has helped to reign in and revert emails back to a tool rather than something that controls me. thank you so much for this product!!

Love it

Super helpful for focus. It kept me from aimlessly squatting in my inbox and encouraged me to use my limited time meaningfully instead of killing time deleting junk mail.

So elegant and minimises distraction

Amazing!! Absolutely revolutionized my Gmail usage!!!

Love this extension! Such a helpful tool!

Been using for 6 months or so and really appreciate it

Super helpful, no longer distracted by every email coming in. Love that it 'locks' so I can't access until I've been productive in the morning and it remains closed until I open it throughout the day - genius! Thank you!!

Great app. works as described. Thank you.

Stupendous!

Thanks for the app

Life Changing! (Probably not exaggerating) - This has literally saved me Hours every week. Thanks!

Thanks for making such an awesome app!

This tool is incredible.

Simple. Exactly how an inbox should work (for you).

Simple. It is a great idea. My honest thought is after Cal Newport's World without Emails, I wonder if this chrome extension and Cal shares the same goal.

I can dip into my inbox for less than a few minutes a day and get what I need. This extension does exactly as advertised. I wish it worked on my mobile email app.

I don't spend half as long in my inbox now! Love that I'm not constantly checking it like I was before!

This is really helpful to keep me out of the time suck that is my ever-expanding inbox.

This is really helpful to keep me out of the time suck that is my ever-expanding inbox.

I literally was designing a web app called 'dont distract me' that would hide my inbox and hide my feed on linkedin and youtube when I am working. But now I dont have to because this lovely person already made this lovely app. Worth every penny. Thank you! I would love to see this extend to youtube and linkedin. Ideally an overlay on the page that lets you search first without seeing the loaded page. My ADHD brain needs you!

Me ayuda a concentrarme!

Excellent tool to keep myself more focused.

Brand new discovery and love it!

excellent

Fabulous. Using this app is saving me time and allowing me to focus on what I want, when I want. I feel better in myself. Thank you :-)

Very Useful. Protects my time as an executive!

Great extension, I wish it could link up to my mobile devices too.

Such a great extension. Has given me control back on checking my email.

Highly recommend, super simple!

Simple and VERY useful. Finally a way to access your email to look for information in a previous email or to send an email without always getting overwhelmed by the unread email in your inbox. Thank you!!

Really helps me to not look at incoming emails when all I want to do is send one and keep focused on priorities. 2022 Update: I am still using it both with personal and work emails. Still helping! Thank you.

Increases focus, minimal footprint, and updated regularly.

Amazing app, it works really well. Thanks!

amazing!!

The best email focus you can get. Love how it integrates into the mail. So effortless to set up, customisable to your needs and really helps to not stressfully check mail all the time.

This is exactly what I needed to keep my focus - it prevents me from doing the "oh, I'll start this project right after I check my inbox for the 86,858th time today..." Highly recommend.

helps a lot - makes me aware of my inbox time. am still getting used to it but very likely to pay for the upgrade as it is working well.

Un gain de productivité impressionnant grâce à cette extension !

Simplemente maravillosa, deja de perder el tiempo hoy mismo! 6 estrellas a esta extensión.

Amazing

A perfect way to still write emails without getting wrapped up in the incoming messages.

Lots of options for ways to restrict my inbox from capturing my attention all day long.

Very good habit forming app. Looking forward to dialing this in to save myself time and regain more focus on the work that I should be doing. Well done!

Very helpful and user-friendly

This app is extremely helpful. Especially when I am looking to just send a few emails and not get distracted by my inbox. Plus, I love the time tracking capability and knowing how many times I have checked my email each day is super helpful from a productivity perspective.

Really helped me have focused work blocks and not worry about responding to things that may not even be urgent.

Really useful. It does what it claims to do... and I love it!!

Provides just that slight nudge to be more mindful about our compulsive email checking.

Exactly what I was looking for.

I've wanted this app years ago - prevents me noticing any distracting emails when I only want to go into Gmail to send an email, or to find something in my archive. Such a small thing that makes such a difference to my daily focus and productivity.

Awesome App, Awesome Creator! Good Karma Heading your way..

love it, so useful - I don't get distracted any more.

Definitely worth paying for.

Excellent product, does exactly what is says and has changed my work life for the better. It helps me to achieve the necessary periods of focus to complete more complex work tasks without interruption every day.

Very useful. Clean inbox. Relaxes my brain!

Simple. Easy. Effective. This has helped me be more intentional and focused with my time. Thank you!!!

Get it. Thats all...

Great !!

Puts a frictionless step that keeps the intentionality at the forefront of my inbox viewing. Thanks!

Simple, elegant, effective way to keep checking my inbox in check!

Works as advertised. Keeps Gmail at bay to allow for focus. It also prompted me to modify notifications on my phone in line with the philosophy. Highly recommended.

super helpful, does what it says it does, and seeing the time spent is a real eye opener.

Really helpful for controlling how often you read emails. Increases productivity!

Incredibly helpful for reducing distraction from new emails coming in. Very easy to use, would highly recommend.

Awesome!

Thank you!

Love it. It blocks my inbox and keeps me in control of my time

It´s a great plugin. I am using a free version. However, I would buy it if you offered one time fee. 4 USD monthly fee is not worth it for me.

Super helpful

Very helpful for me to stay focused on tasks at hand.

kicks my bad habit out of unproductively checking my inbox !!

This was so helpful when I needed to stay focused on a project and not be distracted by incoming emails. The email footer was still there after my scheduled pause time had elapsed, so that would be my only complaint. Otherwise, thank you for this!

Extremely useful. It helps me remember I do not want to be checking my email.

Awesome, helps me so so much. To be able to just see what I'm working on is invaluable for my focus.

A terrific app!

Wow, I love using Inbox When Ready! It really helps me stay focused during the day and they have some great customizable options. We live in a world of hype & distractions and this extension is helping bring focus and calm to my day to day work.

Wow! I love love love this extension. I don't know that I've even ever written a review on this store before, but I came here to say thank you. This will bring some much needed sanity to my work/life balance.

New favorite extension!

Great help in staying focused by keeping my Inbox hidden so I can access it only when I'm ready to check email without getting distracted with incoming emails throughout the day. Also great in searching specific emails I'm waiting for to respond to those first before pressing "Show Inbox". That way, I focus on the important emails first instead of getting distracted with all of the emails in my inbox. I highly recommend this tool!

This is a great tool to keep me from getting sidetracked when I need to do something on my email (send something, search for information). It's great to not see my inbox first thing. An added benefit is the short-lived feeling of having inbox zero before I click "show inbox".

simple but great tool

I love how simple and effective it is. Cannot imagine my work anymore without it.

Best.

So helpful to give me the momentary pause before clicking into my inbox, in order to let me be intentional and conscious about checking my inbox, instead of compulsively doing so.

Saved me many hours!

This extension is for those who wants to use their time efficiently.

Very helpful and user friendly. Outstanding tool to keep focus;

So helpful having this extension!

GREAT EXTENSION. For real, it does what it says, sometimes that it's not enough, but for this extension it's superb. I used to spend so much precious time on the inbox. Now I can track how much I have seen my Inbox and I try to push that number the lower that I can. Perfect Extension!

Very helpful

I've been using for about a week and I'm impressed how this simple add-on can help avoid the temptation to constantly check your in-box.

It does what it says, and it does it perfectly. Really good extension.

This is now such an important part of how I manage my emails and limit distractions.

Simple extension, but great to keep your focus.

I love this extension - only annoying email footer. It should be Free Forever or even better built in Google Mail directly. It's such a basic feature. Thanks.

Great app! Simple and useful.

Has taken my productivity to a whole new level. Get this and get your whole team to get it.

In nearly 1 week of using Inbox When Ready, I've corrected 80% of my bad (long-standing) email habits. Highly recommend!

Very helpful. Helps me stay focused.

Excellent application, great for increasing your productivity and staying focused. - (Peak performance, productivity, personal development coach)

GAME. CHANGER. - DO IT! Customize settings!

Absolutely awesome! Really boosts my productivity since I'm not distracted any more while writing new mails since incoming once are hidden. Didn't thought that it would affect me so positively but it does!

Saves tons of time, and deals with the attention-span draining that can occur with reading your inbox all the time. Turned my life around almost over the course of a week!

This has been the single most useful change I've made to how I interact with email. It allows me to use email the way I want to use it, and not feel used by it. It's boosted my productivity, focus, and sense of calm. Highly recommend to all!

Helps me focus! The "your inbox was open for X time today" feature isn't always accurate, but that's a minor bug

One of the best Chrome extensions. It's such a subtle but important difference in my day to day inbox habits. Over time, this extension will add so much value to my life. Love it so much!

Extraordinario servicio

simple, effective, peace of mind protection. Thank you.

The extension offers me a line of detail and conclusions that I would not have normally without it. It is awesome!!! Thank you for this wonderful exclusive addition.

Muy útil

Incredibly helpful tool to support focus.

A clever plugin that gives me control back over how and when I see emails. No more distraction or checking emails just because I see them. Simple, effective and highly recommended.

Helpful for keeping focus, with lots of scheduling options for so you can still access new messages when you need to.

This has helped me stay out of my inbox and be way more productive with my time. Especially when I need to be in my email answering other messages, it's helpful to not be distracted by new ones coming in.

Simple and incredibly useful

Yay! Cut the destractions!

Game changer

Really useful and simple, does the job if you are obsessed over emails

This is my favorite extension. It's transformed my unhealthy relationship with my inbox! I tell people about it all the time and I'm so thankful to have found it.

This is incredibly useful to help you SEE fewer distractions from your inbox. I know that I'm spending less time being lured in by new updates (even when I'm not looking for them). This may change my life. :)

Absolutely what I needed. I was using a separate email client that was send-only through Gmail via IMAP, so I could send messages without opening my gmail inbox. Now I don't need it -- Thanks for this great plugin, Peter!
