Hide your emails in Gmail™ to focus and get in the flow. Unhide them whenever you're ready.
Now you can hide your emails in Gmail™ whenever you want so you can get in the flow and do more deep work.
## Overview
After you open Gmail™, click the "Hide emails" button to hide your messages. You'll still be able to search Gmail™ and use it as a reference, just without all your emails appearing and distracting you.
When you're ready to view your the emails in your inbox again, just click "Show emails".
This extension only works if you use the Gmail™ website on chrome. It doesn't work if you're using the Gmail™ desktop app.

- Hi Matt, awesome extension by the way! I just wanted to ask if you have any suggestions for a solution. My employer mentioned that the extension is working for his professional email, but not his personal email (both are Gmail). I tried it myself with two different emails open in one browser (I'm using Google Chrome), and it worked fine. So, I'm wondering why it doesn’t seem to work for my employer's other email. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

- Dear, and where i can find the buttons to hide and show the e-mails? Or it's driven by the hotkeys? The only way i found - to turn on/off this extension in the chrome menu. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EOtljo1LrVVF-ePgBX5wMbpaTeFh2LUy/view?usp=sharing

- I'm the developer of this free extension and use it on my home and work gmail accounts everyday to minimize distraction and get in the flow. It works well. Hope you'll give it a shot! This extension can't see, and never collects, any of your email information. You can see the code on github if interested: github.com/mthurmond/gmail-inbox-hider. Thanks, and here's to calmer email management!

- Nifty extension. Super easy to use, and helps clear the distracting clutter in your inbox when you want to focus on deep work. Definitely recommend trying it out.
