Interesting. Not a huge fan of marketing it as &quot;Absolutely Free&quot; and not mentioning the charge for multiple accounts.<p>I currently use Checker Plus for Gmail Chrome extension: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;checker-plus-for-gmail&#x2F;oeopbcgkkoapgobdbedcemjljbihmemj" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;checker-plus-for-g...</a>. Does the job very well.

Just a heads-up, I installed it and signed in with one of my two accounts, but then decided to switch the one free account to my other account. After removing the original account, I wasn&#x27;t given the option to add in the single free account, only upgrade (I&#x27;m guessing there was an assumption in the code that the user would always have one account, and never remove it?). Uninstalling&#x2F;reinstalling didn&#x27;t give me the option to re-register, either.

Does this work with Inbox (as in, clicking on the notification opens the Inbox UI, not Gmail)?

Interesting service. I definitely prefer my e-mail notifications to come right from SeaMonkey, but I could see this being useful for those who don&#x27;t use a separate mail client and prefer to not have their gmail open in a separate tab 24&#x2F;7.

I wonder about the example gmail addresses given. Do you own john, paul, george at gmail? I know we should use example.com for URL examples, are there any non-assigned addresses for well-known mail services?

Any plans to post this on ProductHunt?

Happy to answer any questions, this has been a little side project of mine with Swift and Google&#x27;s Gmail API.
