Overview

ReadTime for Gmail — Take control of your inbox

Stop guessing how long emails will take.

ReadTime for Gmail shows you exactly how long it takes to read any email — right when you open it — so you can decide instantly whether to read now or later.

⚡ What it does

• Shows reading time inside every opened Gmail email
• Displays a clean colored badge at the top of the email
• Helps you decide instantly: read now or save for later

🎯 Smart Reading System

Each email is categorized automatically:

🟢 Quick reads (under 1 min) → read instantly
🟠 Medium reads (2–4 min) → read between tasks
🔴 Long reads (5+ min) → save for focused time

🔖 Read Later Feature

Save emails with one click.

• Stores email subject, reading time, and link
• Access your saved list anytime from the extension popup
• Jump back to emails instantly
• Mark emails as done when finished

🧠 Best Time to Read Suggestions

Every saved email comes with a smart suggestion:

• “8 min read” → Best for focused work session
• “2 min read” → Good between tasks
• “45s read” → Read now

🔔 Daily Digest Reminder

Stay on top of your inbox.

Get a daily notification showing:
• Number of saved emails
• Total reading time

Example:
“You have 3 emails saved — total reading time: 14 minutes.”

⚙️ How it works

• No accounts
• No servers
• No data collection
• Works completely offline

The extension simply reads the email content already loaded in Gmail and calculates reading time based on average reading speed.

🔒 Privacy First

ReadTime for Gmail:
• Does NOT track your emails
• Does NOT send data anywhere
• Works 100% locally in your browser

👤 Who is it for?

• Professionals with busy inboxes
• Founders & developers
• Students
• Anyone who wants to save time

🚀 Why install?

Because one simple decision —
“Do I read this now or later?”

— saves hours every week.
