CheckMyEmail by TrackMy.Email

Gmail Notifier for Chrome

CheckMyEmail is a free Gmail notifier: the unread count on your Chrome toolbar and a desktop alert the moment new mail lands — for every Gmail account you’re signed in to. Your emails never leave your browser.

Add to Chrome — it’s free

A Gmail notifier Chrome extension that stays out of your way

The count on the toolbar icon tells you how much is waiting without opening a tab. Click it for a short list of what’s new; click any email to open it in Gmail.

  • Checks every 30 seconds
  • Primary inbox by default — no promotions noise
  • Updates, Social, Promotions and Important are one switch away

Gmail desktop notifications on Windows 11 and Mac

New mail shows as a desktop alert with the sender, subject and Gmail’s snippet. Alerts use Chrome’s notifications, so they appear in the Windows 11 notification centre and in macOS Notification Centre.

  • One-time codes get a “Copy code” button
  • Silent while Gmail is already open in a tab, or while you’re in fullscreen
  • Quiet hours on a schedule with Pro

Every Gmail account in one notifier

Signed in to a work and a personal account? CheckMyEmail finds every Gmail and Google Workspace account in this browser and shows each one separately — free, with no account to create.

Private: your emails never leave your browser

CheckMyEmail reads Gmail the way an open Gmail tab does, from your own browser. Nothing is copied to our servers, and images inside emails are never loaded — so glancing at your inbox never sets off anyone’s open tracking.
