About Pigeon Post for Gmail

See new Gmail at a glance: unread counts on the toolbar and desktop notifications for the Gmail accounts you're already signed in to in Chrome. No extra login, no OAuth, no server. YOU DECIDE WHAT MATTERS Set each inbox, inbox tab (Primary, Social, Promotions…), Starred, Important or any of your labels to: • Off – not checked • Count – included in the toolbar number • Notify – counted, with a desktop notification Your labels are read from Gmail itself, so you pick them from a list instead of typing names. A live preview shows exactly what the badge and notifications will look like. MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS, CLEARLY APART Every mailbox gets its own name, color and notification sound. Show one total or a per-account badge like 26/2. ACT WITHOUT OPENING GMAIL Mark a message as read from the popup or straight from the notification, or clear a whole mailbox in one click. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Runs entirely in your browser and talks only to mail.google.com • No server, no analytics, no ads, no tracking • Message subjects are kept in memory only • Open source: https://github.com/tasict/pigeon-post-for-gmail Available in English, 繁體中文, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch.
