Been a fan of Simplify for a while. I was deeply upset when Google killed Inbox and the started futzing with the default Gmail UI. Simplify was the solution to regain that former glory and also support the designer behind it. If you're in your inbox a lot, it's definitely worth it!

Highly recommend - have used Simplify for over a year already and it's awesome. Simplify removes lots of visual clutter from my inbox, and adds useful functionality such as being able to hide the inbox on demand, both of which let me focus more on my work. Can't imagine using GMail without it anymore. Try downloading the extension and then toggling it on and off, the difference is night and day between the two versions, Simplify is just so much cleaner and more functional. Great product and good support.

I literally just lamented last week about the state of my gmail inbox and how much I miss the Inbox and its Bundles. I've been using and enjoying Simplify for a long while (and get confused when I look at my inbox without it!), so am very much looking forward to playing with the zillion new features in v3. BUNDLES BUNDLES BUNDLES! There are a bunch of paid email services that claim to use AI or other methods to help sort your email and make it "better," but every one I've tried has either required a totally new email address or has created a bunch of extra labels in my gmail, or has just otherwise made my gmail "messy" when I inevitably gave up on it. Simplify feels like a much more lightweight and "cleaner" way to help my gmail while still keeping it "gmail-y" and is therefore 100% worth the small cost.

I know the hard work that goes into this "simple UI" change :). Attempting to create the Google "INBOX" from a purely client side, meaning no servers and just in the browser, has to be a challenge. For those that believe everything in email should be free, well I will tell you there was a time, just to get email, outside of your ISP, you paid. I am not the biggest fan of Gmail, but as a business needing a product, Gmail is really about the least corporate product around. Simplify is attempting to bring back what "INBOX" was and Gmail should be today. I love the new v3 extension. If this keeps going we actually may end up with a smart "INBOX" again. I used to never miss emails in INBOX, today, eesh I miss some of my most important emails without Simplify, like in the phone app. Thanks for this and your liberal ability to use this with my multiple accounts. What you pay for this, is so small compared to what your ROI is. Keep up the good work, and hope to see more!

AMAZING extension! One of my favorites. Despite what previous commenters have said, it's absolutely worth the money. It's $2 per month for crying out loud. Most people spend more on their coffee every single day. But unlike coffee, it saves you time because you're nowhere near as easily distracted when you check your email. Isn't that worth $2 a month? For me, it absolutely is. If I make $60 an hour, every 2 minute wasted is worth $2. I think it's safe to say that Simplify saves me more than 2 minutes a month (in reality, it saves me much more than that). How many minutes would you need to save to justify paying 2 bucks a month?

I've been using Simplify Gmail for a few years now, and I can confidently say that if there's one extension worth its price, it's this one. Don't listen to those saying it a simple UI change, because it is not! The attention to detail and its polished interface have truly made my life easier. If you miss the good old days of Google Inbox, then Simplify is a must-have. I just got the v3 update and it blew my mind 🤯! The sheer amount of quality-of-life changes and overall improvements in everyday tasks is just crazy. Just by clicking around, I quickly noticed a few enhancements that I had been wanting for a long time. Thank you Michael for doing a great job ❤️

This is a good extension; it's just stupid that I'd need to pay for a simple UI change. Not worth the money. Do not install unless you wish to pay for UI.

1. It must be free if you really want users to use your extension. 2. I know there are efforts and hard work plus money, but you can add ads. 3. Its just GUI, no speed boost, no fast loading of emails, nothing. My review: Gmail default theme is must better and even quicker also. There is no need to pay for extra looks and appearance, as simplicity is great. e.g. iPhone design.

Was a big fan of Inbox and now more than happy to pay for Simplify. I have so much respect for how much work goes into the designing and maintenance of what seems so simple. I always get compliments on how good my inbox looks. Excited for v3!
