Your inbox shouldn’t feel like a fight.
I’ve been tweaking my own Gmail setup for years, trying to make it calmer, clearer, easier to scan… and finally turned it into a Chrome extension:
Joy for Gmail
It does a few simple things:
- Groups your inbox into Today / Yesterday / This Week
- Makes subjects actually readable
- Centres the compose window (because why is it stuck in the corner?)
- Helps search find real emails, not newsletters
It doesn’t try to reinvent Gmail. It just makes it nicer to use.
Also – no tracking, no data collection. It just lives in your browser.

Would love any feedback if you give it a try. It’s completely free,
