Undo send in Gmail beyond 30 seconds
12 followers
Gmail's Undo Send stops at 30 seconds. By the time you spot a forgotten attachment or wrong recipient, the message is already delivered.
Soft Send holds Gmail messages for 1 minute to 1 hour before delivery. Cancel, pause, or send immediately. Warns you about missing attachments, new recipients, and reply-all risks. No server stores your email. Everything runs locally.
Free to start. Pro is $14.99 once, no subscription.
Does delaying through the Gmail API mean the email actually queues on your local device, so if I close my laptop before the timer hits the email just sits there unsent until I open it again?
@englsz56 hi, yes, the timer is local and sending happens while Chrome is running, so quitting the browser before the timer delays the send. But it's never lost: the email is saved as a real Gmail draft the moment you queue it, and it sends on reopen (or you send it from Drafts). That's the tradeoff for having no server, your email never leaves your device except to reach Gmail's API. For typical short delays with the browser open, it's a non-issue.
@englsz56 also, in the next update I'm adding a notification so there's zero ambiguity: if the browser was closed past an email's send time, Soft Send will send it the moment you reopen Chrome and show a little "Sent 1 queued email that was waiting" message. So even in that edge case you'll always know exactly what went out and when.
how does it actually catch the risky reply-all stuff, like is it keyword matching or something smarter? curious how many false positives i might hit
@hazal36352 It's heuristics, not ML, all local. Reply-all is approximated as "subject starts with Re: and >10 recipients" (it can't read the reply-all action directly, so recipient count is the proxy). So you will get some false positives, but they're cheap: it only adds delay + a warning, never blocks you, and each signal is individually toggleable. Deliberately transparent rather than a black box.
the missing attachment check actually caught me before i shipped an embarrassing email, which alone is worth it. love that nothing sits on someone else's server
@ipekgilmuc85517 thank you for the support!
Genuinely useful, the attachment and reply-all catches saved me already. Local-only setup felt solid too.
thank you! this is the real use case why I built it! also, keeping it local was non-negotiable for an email tool.
If you got a minute, a quick review on the Chrome Web Store would really help :)
