Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-16.
Tweak Google Inbox to see and do more at once.
NOTE: Google regularly pushes updates that break this extension => to fix this, I have to go through all the identifiers and update them and push an update - go to the Options page, temporarily untick the options, and re-tick them after a day or two.
This extension will:
- create a "Compact" display density so that you are able to view more messages in a glance
- permanently dock the left-hand navigation menu on screens that are at least 1280 pixels in width
- make it so the "drawer" icon in the top-left corner will by default open your Inbox
- hide message reminders
- highlight bundles in yellow to distinguish them against individual emails
- make the compose window larger
- allow you to control which of the above tweaks you want to apply by clicking on the Google Inbox icon with the yellow + sign
Enjoy!

Hey guys if you love this extension so much click on the developer's name and you can donate to him!!! Seems like a nice way to thank him for making your life SO much easier! Also, spread the word!! Someone knows someone at Google somewhere. They NEED to hire this guy, he knows what's up!!
I have this plugin sinds 2016 and still love this plugin! Just tryed gmail and its awefull but inbox also is without this pugin. Thanks! please please keep this online at all costs!
Really helpful. The only extension that's lightweight and makes Inbox clean and neat and usable. Gmelius has options, but they are paid and not lightweight. I hope the developer continues to update it.
Perfection. Wish I had found this sooner. Keep up the great work.
Doesn't work!!!
Amazing
Easier, better, more efficient, less waste. Thank you!
Estou usando o Google Inbox graças a esta extensão, recomendo, show de bola.
Great extension. I think those settings should be in inbox by default! How about adding possibility to hide "Snoozed XX days ago" option?
A must for Inbox. However there is a counter-intuitive bug. If you use "larger compose window", the docked compose window will be a bit bigger. However, the floating compose window will be much smaller than the default Inbox size if you are using a large monitor.
Great job on this! your changes make a huge difference and makes my day that much easier as a result, and thank you for that. My only request would be for the option to customize the background color of bundles. Add that and you have everything I could ask for (well, the option to change bundle icon colors from the grey envelope would be the best thing ever if you are looking for something else to gift the world with). Keep up the great work!
So glad I found this! Thank you for making Inbox a viable option for me now
Thanks! Any way to make the "trips" bundles take less vertical space?
Facilita e muito o trabalho com o inbox, vale a pena!
Useful extension. Why is google not implementing these changes . Also can you add themes to google inbox ? Do you read the user data in the inbox? I have privacy concerns.
Best extension out there. Much better than the full blown Google Inbox Apps.
This makes inbox so much more usable. I think Google should just hire or acquire this developer if they can get him!
Love this extension. For some reason it went missing from my extensions today.
Great! I wouldn't use Google Inbox without it.
Awesome extension... Thank you!
Nice! I installed the extension, refreshed inbox and wow... looks much nicer + the new layout is easier/better to use. Thank you!
I thought you would add the most missing feature to Inbox : dropdown labels! Can you ? Or maybe let the nav menu larger to read long labels...
GREAT! IDK why hasn't Google included this from the start...
Makes inbox useable!
