Show unread email badge count on the Gmail PWA/app icon in the system taskbar

When Gmail is used as an installed Chrome app (PWA opened as a window), there is no native badge notification for unread emails. This extension fills that gap by polling Gmail's Atom feed and setting the app badge number.

1. User installs the extension. 2. User adds Gmail as an installed Chrome app (open as window). 3. User opens the Gmail app window. 4. Content script runs on mail.google.com, fetches unread count from Gmail Atom feed every second, and calls navigator.setAppBadge() to update the taskbar icon badge. 5. User can optionally configure a specific Gmail label to track via the options page.

Target users: Gmail users who use Chrome's 'Install as app' / PWA feature to run Gmail in its own window

Cannot confirm exact error handling if Gmail session expires mid-session (content.js returns -1 and skips badge update silently)

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension has no payment logic, no premium/subscription tiers, no upgrade UI, and no billing API calls. All features (badge notifications, label configuration) are freely available. The extension is open-source on GitHub. Keyword matches for 'pro', 'license' are from bootstrap.min.css (MIT license header) and 'promotions' is a Gmail label name in options.js—not paid feature indicators.

Confidence: 98
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension fetches unread email count from Gmail's Atom feed (https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom). This endpoint requires the user to be authenticated/logged into their Google account in the browser. Without a valid Gmail session, the fetch would fail and the extension cannot function. The extension itself has no login UI—it relies on the browser's existing Gmail session.
