About

Hide Gmail’s Promotions/Social/Updates tabs with checkboxes. Pick what stays visible and focus on real mail.

Clear the clutter. Gmail Focus Mode lets you choose which Gmail tabs you see—Promotions, Social, Updates—with simple checkboxes. Uncheck a tab, it disappears. Re-check, it’s back. No reloads, no fuss.

Features
✅ Checkbox menu: hide/show Promotions, Social, Updates individually
✅ Applies instantly to open Gmail tabs
✅ Remembers your choices across restarts
✅ Zero tracking: all logic runs locally, no remote servers

Why use it
Fewer marketing blasts & social noise → faster inbox zero
Cleaner interface → easier to spot important emails
Great for deep work, GTD, ADHD-friendly workflows

How it works
A tiny content script targets Gmail’s UI elements (by label) and toggles their visibility. We only touch mail.google.com, store a few booleans in chrome.storage.local, and never read or transmit your emails.
