Does what it says. Supports up to two accounts at the same time. No fancy features.
A simple extension that checks your Gmail inbox and displays the unread count with a nice icon/badge. Also, sound notifications available. Probably one of the few that let you choose the feed you want. 'Primary' or 'All e-mail' are the ones available! Supports the new Inbox from Google and you have up to two accounts at the same time being checked password-less, which is great!

- (2014-11-08) Fraser McCrossan: Simple and it works. Also the only extension I've found that can open the new Inbox app instead of Gmail.
- (2014-10-01) Simple and clean extension to check your email & works just fine :)
- (2014-07-10) 環興-謝永昌: 如果可以設定檢查信件的頻率就完美了!
- (2014-03-12) Jamie Morris: I really like the look of this. As simple as you can get but it just works! However, PLEASE add multi account support. I can't use it until it supports my two accounts - it's too confusing not knowing which account it refers to ;-)
- (2014-02-17) Mohammad Shahid: It does not notify me
- (2014-01-14) Moo Scree: Needs some clarification: I assume this doesn't check all labels, so does this check All Mail or only the main Inbox? Update: This does check only the main Inbox.
- (2013-12-29) Unlocker Logistika: Perfect clean extension. no unwanted stuff. works perfect.

- (2013-06-12) Robert Orzanna: I only needed an information about the number of unread mails. The extension does exactly that. Perfect!
- (2013-06-01) Manuel Reis: My Google Chrome theme is black, so I can't see the icon.. Is there any way to change its color? Also, the extension only seems to notify new messages in the "Inbox" marker, while messages in other markers aren't checked... Other than that, great app!!
- (2013-05-30) Alberto Gonçalves: Nice app, congratz
- (2013-05-30) Andre Almeida: nice work. Simple but useful
