ReadTime for Gmail — Take control of your inbox
Stop guessing how long emails will take.
ReadTime for Gmail shows you exactly how long it takes to read any email — right when you open it — so you can decide instantly whether to read now or later.
⚡ What it does
• Shows reading time inside every opened Gmail email
• Displays a clean colored badge at the top of the email
• Helps you decide instantly: read now or save for later
🎯 Smart Reading System
Each email is categorized automatically:
🟢 Quick reads (under 1 min) → read instantly
🟠 Medium reads (2–4 min) → read between tasks
🔴 Long reads (5+ min) → save for focused time
🔖 Read Later Feature
Save emails with one click.
• Stores email subject, reading time, and link
• Access your saved list anytime from the extension popup
• Jump back to emails instantly
• Mark emails as done when finished
🧠 Best Time to Read Suggestions
Every saved email comes with a smart suggestion:
• “8 min read” → Best for focused work session
• “2 min read” → Good between tasks
• “45s read” → Read now
🔔 Daily Digest Reminder
Stay on top of your inbox.
Get a daily notification showing:
• Number of saved emails
• Total reading time
Example:
“You have 3 emails saved — total reading time: 14 minutes.”
⚙️ How it works
• No accounts
• No servers
• No data collection
• Works completely offline
The extension simply reads the email content already loaded in Gmail and calculates reading time based on average reading speed.
🔒 Privacy First
ReadTime for Gmail:
• Does NOT track your emails
• Does NOT send data anywhere
• Works 100% locally in your browser
👤 Who is it for?
• Professionals with busy inboxes
• Founders & developers
• Students
• Anyone who wants to save time
🚀 Why install?
Because one simple decision —
“Do I read this now or later?”
— saves hours every week.
