Simple but hugely effective. Why doesn't email software just do this by default?

Wonderful, easy-to-use app!

This is a massive improvement over simply closing your email tab. It means, for example, that when I want to send an email I don't get distracted by all of the new messages that have arrived since I last checked, and then forget to send the email in the first place!

Really makes a difference in terms of optimizing your use of email, avoiding compulsive inbox checking, forcing you to focus on what you were coming to do, not letting you get distracted by incoming mail. One of the most convincing and effective "productivity" tools I have tried!

this app radically & immediately changed my work days and relationship to my email.

Hugely helpful to be able to not be bombarded by my whole inbox whenever I need to interact with gmail. Allows me to keep my priorities up front and helps my focus.

I was very excited to hear that the Inbox When Ready beta was available for Firebox, and it has completely lived up to my high expectations! It's so helpful in reclaiming my time and keeping me focused on what I think is important, not what other people think is important. Plus, it helps to interrupt the addiction-reward cycle of opening my inbox in search of a new dopamine hit, and the developer has a thoughtful and generous upgrade plan. All-around awesome extension.

Ever feel like you're a slave to your inbox? Tired of being distracted by every new email that rolls in? This is the app for you. Inbox When Ready transforms the experience of using email from reactive to proactive. Get email on your terms.

Very glad that it is now available on Firefox!

This is simply a wonderful add-on. It helps Gmail users make better use of our browser time by counting the number of minutes you spend gazing at your inbox and restricting that number, if you choose.

So happy this add-on is available in Firefox. I've tried a lot of services to hamper distractions. Inbox When Ready is a lifesaver when you need to use your gmail archive but still keep focused on the task at hand. Super helpful!

What can I say... a simple little plugin that frees A LOT of headspace. I love it.
