This Chrome extension will help you spend less time on your email. If you're a good fit, you'll reclaim about an hour every week. Inbox When Ready makes some changes to Gmail to help you cultivate a better email workflow.
@johnrmeese Glad you like it, thanks for the upvote :)
The extension now supports Inbox by Google. If you load https://inbox.google.com it should run automatically.
If it's not working as expected for you, please just write to peter@inboxwhenready.org and I'll do my best to help :)
This looks awesome — thanks for building it, Peter! As a Safari user, it would be great to add this to my toolbox. Any chance you're working on a Safari-compatible version or know someone who is building (or has built) a similar tool for Safari?

Big fan of this! I wonder if there's a equivalent for "checking slack when ready"? (or any generic mac app)
This Chrome extension hides your Gmail inbox by default. All other views remain accessible as normal, so you can search your archive or compose messages *without getting distracted*.
Ahhhhhh.
P.S. When you actually want to see your inbox, press "Show Inbox" :)
(The extension supports Gmail and Inbox by Gmail.)

Some of the 💖 from the Chrome Web Store:
“Fantastic. Can't tell you how many times I just wanted to do one thing in my email and got lost in my inbox. Wish I had had this years ago.”
— David Peralta
“I am instantly less stressed!! I've been waiting for this extension. Thank you!!!”
— Niall Fennell
"I never thought something so simple could be this good for my productivity. This is very easy to install, use, and benefit from."
— Cheryl Chastain
“You won't believe how much not seeing your inbox will increase your productivity. I love this extension.”
— Stevie Clifton
"Great extension that helps me avoid looking at my distracting email when I just want to focus on one task at a time."
— Tristan Harris
I just added a new feature, which lets you lock yourself out of your inbox at times you specify.
I hope this will help people form better inbox routines, e.g. no inbox at evenings and weekends :)
I used to love this extension but then Peter decided to start charging $4 per month for it (or else pollute your emails with an auto-inserted advertisement for Inbox When Ready in your signature block!). I would gladly have paid $4/year for it, but $4/month is $50 a year, which is half of what I pay per year for Microsoft Office. That's way to much! $10/year would have been more reasonable.

@nireyal I wonder how product hunt does conversations, if you @ me what happens?
