Amer C 2024-12-02: Worked great for me, thanks! Do you have the same thing for the Slack Webapp? Would be really good
Lucas BENEDETTO 2024-10-02: It works but it's not efficient at all. The extension queries a RSS feed every second.
Alberto Gómez 2024-08-20: At last I can see the badge in the Gmail app icon. It is great, thanks a lot. Just one suggestion: it would be great if the badge's background was red or a clearer color instead of black
Yevgeniy Podolyan 2024-08-15: Seems like it shows unread e-mails not just from Primary but also from Promotions. Thus, it is useles for me as I only want primary mailbox but it shows 99+ all the time.
