Unified Identity

Unified Identity — Manage Every Email Account from One Place Unified Identity is a Chrome browser extension built for professionals who operate across multiple email accounts every day. Whether you maintain separate addresses for work, personal use, freelance clients, or side projects, Unified Identity brings them all into a single, always-visible side panel — giving you complete awareness and control of your digital identity without ever losing context. THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES Managing multiple email identities in a modern browser is harder than it should be. Most professionals have at least two or three separate accounts, and the friction of switching between them is a constant background cost — signing in and out, losing track of which account is active, accidentally replying from the wrong address, or receiving a flood of notifications from all accounts at once regardless of what you are trying to accomplish. Unified Identity eliminates every one of these problems. It does not replace your email provider — it sits alongside it, in Chrome's native side panel, and gives you an intelligent layer of identity management that works across Gmail, Outlook, ProtonMail, Fastmail, and Yahoo. IDENTITY MANAGEMENT At the core of the extension is the concept of an Identity — a named profile representing one of your email accounts. Each identity has a label (such as "Work", "Personal", or "Client A"), an email address, an email provider, a color theme, an optional avatar, an email signature, and its own default workflow mode. You can create as many identities as you need. They appear as cards in the Identities tab of the side panel, color-coded for instant recognition. The currently active identity is always shown in the header and in a prominent banner at the top of the panel, so you always know exactly which account is in context. Switching the active identity takes one click from the panel, or a single keyboard shortcut from anywhere in the browser. When you switch, the extension updates the badge on its toolbar icon, broadcasts the change to the current tab, and logs a system notification in your feed — so the switch is always visible and auditable. Identities can be imported in bulk in either merge mode (add new ones without affecting existing) or replace mode (replace all). This makes it straightforward to set up the extension on a new device or share a configuration with a colleague. WORKFLOW MODES Every identity has a Workflow Mode, and the active mode determines how notifications are filtered and delivered in real time. There are four modes to choose from: Work Mode is designed for professional contexts where you need to stay fully informed. In Work Mode, all notification types — email, calendar, alerts, and system messages — are delivered normally. Nothing is filtered. You see everything as it arrives. Personal Mode is designed for personal browsing time, evenings, and weekends. It keeps email and alert notifications active while reducing calendar noise — calendar events are badge-counted but do not generate desktop popups. This keeps your badge accurate without interrupting you with reminders that belong to a different context. Focus Mode (the mode, distinct from the Focus Mode toggle described below) is designed for deep work sessions. In Focus Mode, only urgent alert and system-level messages get through. Email and calendar notifications are silenced entirely. This is the most restrictive built-in mode and is ideal for periods that require zero interruptions. Custom Mode hands full control to you. Rather than applying a preset, Custom Mode evaluates a list of rules you define yourself. Each rule pairs a condition with an action, and rules are evaluated top-to-bottom with first-match winning. This gives you programmable, precise control over your notification experience — silence newsletters, badge-count notifications from one domain, surface messages from a specific sender as high priority, or catch-all to a default. FOCUS MODE TOGGLE Separate from the four Workflow Modes is the Focus Mode toggle — a quick on/off switch available at the top of the Workflow tab. When toggled on, Focus Mode overrides whatever Workflow Mode is currently active and silences everything except alerts and system messages. Think of it as a Do Not Disturb switch that you can activate and deactivate in one click. This is particularly useful for scheduled deep-work blocks. You can be in Work Mode all day but flip Focus Mode on for a 90-minute writing session. When the session ends, toggle it off — Work Mode resumes and your unread notifications are waiting in the feed for you to review at your own pace. CUSTOM RULES ENGINE The Custom Rules engine is the most powerful feature in Unified Identity. When Workflow Mode is set to Custom, incoming notifications are tested against your rule list in order. The first rule whose condition matches wins. Rules support four condition types: Always — matches every notification, regardless of content Domain — matches notifications from a specific email domain (e.g., acme.com) Sender — matches notifications where the sender name or address contains a given string Subject Contains — matches notifications whose title or preview contains a given phrase All matching is case-insensitive. Rules also support four delivery actions: Notify — deliver the notification normally with a desktop popup and badge increment Silence — suppress the notification entirely; it does not appear in the feed and generates no popup or badge update Badge Only — increment the badge counter silently, without showing a desktop popup Priority High — deliver with a high-priority flag for urgent surfacing A practical example: you receive dozens of automated newsletter emails from updates.company.com that you want tracked but never interrupted by. You also want all other emails from company.com to notify normally. Create two rules in order: "Badge Only | Domain: updates.company.com" above "Noti…
