"Inbox When ready" helps me focus on what I should be doing when I have to use the inbox. It also reminds me not to look at all of the new stuff coming to the inbox when I should be working.

Given how simple it is, it's surprisingly effective for lowering distraction.

Very useful add-on. Stops e-mail from being a massive time sink.

the app does exactly what I hoped it to do

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.
