Joy for Gmail

About

Joy for Gmail. An extension that makes Gmail calmer, clearer, and easier to use.

It improves readability, reduces distractions, and adds a few thoughtful tools that make everyday email work feel smoother. Instead of changing how Gmail works, Joy for Gmail simply enhances the interface so you can focus on what matters.


** Inbox readability improvements **

- Group inbox rows by date (Today, Yesterday, This Week, Previous)

- Make email subjects easier to scan and reduce visual clutter in busy inboxes.

- Enhance read subject visibility and preview text readability

These changes make it easier to quickly understand your inbox without losing Gmail’s familiar layout.


** Better compose experience **

Writing emails should feel focused, no one wants to write in the corner! Joy for Gmail centers the compose window and limits its width so messages are easier to read while writing, and composing is not shifted to the corner of the screen.


** Search that finds real conversations **

Gmail search often returns newsletters and promotions when you are looking for real conversations.

Joy for Gmail adds quick exclusions so searches automatically ignore:  Promotions, Social updates and Marketing emails. Helping you find the email you actually want.


** Inbox Zero Hero ** 

A small feature that celebrates the moment when your inbox hits zero.

Optional, playful encouragement appears when you reach inbox zero — because clearing your inbox should feel good.


** Small quality-of-life tools ** 

Additional tweaks designed to reduce friction when using Gmail: Optional “Mark all as read” button.  Cleaner inbox scanning. Subtle interface improvements.


** Privacy ** 

Joy for Gmail does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

All changes happen locally in your browser and only affect the Gmail interface.
