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.)

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 love this.
Same idea as Inbox Pause (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...), but way better implementation method. Already using on several accounts that I keep open daily.

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?

Love this, was using it until I switched to Google's "Inbox." Any plans to add similar functionality there?

@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 :)
