Overview

Quiet Tab removes the distracting unread email count from your Gmail browser tab.

THE PROBLEM
Gmail shows "(4)" in your browser tab when you have unread emails. This constant visual reminder creates low-level anxiety and pulls your attention away from focused work—even when you're not actively checking email.

THE SOLUTION
Quiet Tab simply removes that number. Your emails are still there when you're ready for them. You just won't be constantly reminded.

Before: Inbox (4) - david@gmail.com
After: Inbox - david@gmail.com

FEATURES
✓ Lightweight — Just 30 lines of code
✓ Zero permissions — Only runs on Gmail, can't read your emails
✓ No tracking — No analytics, no data collection
✓ Free forever — No subscription, no premium tier
✓ Open source — Inspect the code yourself at github.com/u00dxk2/quiet-tab

HOW IT WORKS
Install it, open Gmail, and the count is gone. No setup, no configuration. That's it.

PRIVACY
Quiet Tab doesn't read your emails, doesn't require permissions, and doesn't send any data anywhere. All processing happens locally in your browser.
