Silent Inbox is a bouncer inside your Gmail. It holds back emails that are not urgent and delivers them at the time you want. ⠀ The add-on automatically detects email newsletters and allows you to manually mute senders that distract you during work.
👋 Hello fellow makers, and thank you @chrismessina for the intro!
📝 200 lines of code
Six months ago I sat down to write 200 lines of code in Apps Script for my Gmail. I was overwhelmed by unimportant emails during the day. It was hard to keep practicing inbox zero. I wanted to read newsletters. But they were hitting my inbox during the day, distracting me from support requests and messages from partners.
Back to the code. I created two labels, one filter, and one trigger. The filter collects emails that contain selected terms like "unsubscribe" and "email preferences" (around 20 different terms by the moment). I needed two labels to mark emails properly. And the trigger was set to fire two times a day — at 9 am and 7 pm.
🚀 A Gmail add-on
That's it. It keeps my inbox distraction-free and twice a day sends me my unimportant stuff.
Today I'm launching that code (+2000 new lines of code) as a product. It's a Gmail add-on that collects not urgent emails and delivers them at the time you want them to read.
If you are interested in my 0 to 1 journey, there is a thread on Twitter.
🙌 Basic vs Premium
The Basic account allows you to schedule delivery for any time once a day. In addition to automatically detected email newsletters, you can add up to 10 other senders to the Muted List.
With the Premium account, you can change the frequency from "once a day" to "twice a day" (more options coming in the next update). And your number of senders in the Muted List is unlimited.
🔥 The early bird price for a premium account is $12/year (until September 12). The basic account is free.
🔑 Install the add-on to calm down your inbox

Hahah! When I read subtitle I instantly pressed upvote button and we all really need this kind of product! Cheers! On launch and interesting story
@adityadugar If you launch Silent Inbox using the web interface, it will work for your account on the background. It means you will get emails delivered on your schedule no matter what app you use — a mobile one or a 3rd party service.
