Checker Plus for Gmail

Checker Plus for Gmail is a useful extension for your Google Chrome browser that allows you to check the status of your Gmail inbox without ever having to leave your current tab or log in to the Gmail client.

The extension can notify you with a simple sound or use a human voice that you can customize to suit your needs. These voice notifications can also be customized and so can the desktop popup notifications, all from the Options tab.

The General tab enables you to mark the messages as read when you preview them, and you can choose the labels that you want to monitor and the label that will be opened by default in the popup window, just like in the Gmail tab.

​You may customize which folder categories you will get notifications for, so that you won't be bothered by things that come in the spam folder, for example. ​The Keys tab includes the parameters for the keyboard shortcuts that are active in the popup window.

To install the extension, you need to drag and drop the downloaded file in the Extensions tab or go to its official website in the Google Chrome extension store.
