Gmail tracking, without the sales platform.

You wrote to four people. Onmindo tells you which of them read it, and when, in the Gmail row itself. Free, open signup, no seats and no CRM.

Send-only Gmail permission by default. Nothing measures your mailbox. No IP addresses kept.

What the other person sees

Six things, none of them a dashboard

Onmindo's work happens in the inbox and in the message. Every panel below is drawn in HTML from the same code that generates the real thing, down to the colours, so nothing here is a picture of a product that behaves differently.

How it works

Three steps, then nothing to learn

Onmindo is set up once, and after that you go on reading your inbox the way you already do. The open count sits on the Gmail row itself.

01

Install the extension

Two ways, both fine. Add it from the Chrome Web Store, which is one click and updates itself. Or download the build from your dashboard and load it in chrome://extensions, which is what you want if you are running your own server.

02

Send from Gmail as usual

Nothing new to learn. Write the message and press Send. When it goes to several people, Onmindo tracks each of them separately without you doing anything, and you can turn that off for a message in the panel.

03

Hover the row

The row carries a count. The card names who opened, when, and in what, as it happens. The dashboard shows the same record and keeps working with the extension uninstalled.

Also in the box: templates, signatures, scheduled sends, multi-step sequences, and follow-ups Claude drafts from your side of the thread into your Gmail drafts. The AI parts want an Anthropic key you add in Settings; everything else works without one.

Proof

Why you can trust what it tells you

Six decisions in Onmindo's design, each one you can check against your own mailbox.

01 / 06

Group emails, tracked per person

Write to five people and Onmindo tells you which of them read it, rather than that one of the five did, on the To line you typed and with everyone still seeing everyone. Needs full Gmail access, asked for when you switch it on, and it is what Pro is priced around. How tracking several recipients works.

02 / 06

Delivered is not opened

Gmail touches every message the moment it lands, before anyone has looked at it. Most trackers report that as a read. Onmindo knows the difference and says "delivered", so an open in your list means a person. What a pixel fetch does and does not prove.

03 / 06

No city for a Gmail reader

Gmail loads images through its own servers, so there is nothing true to say about where a Gmail reader was or what they were holding. Onmindo leaves it blank. A tool that shows you a city there is showing you Google's.

04 / 06

Sends from your own Gmail

SPF, DKIM and DMARC are Google's, and the sending reputation is the one your address already has. No shared relay sits in the path, and your recipients see the address they know.

05 / 06

It cannot read your inbox

Connecting Gmail asks Google for two things: permission to send, and your address. That token cannot read mail. Features that need a thread, such as telling a reply from an out of office, ask separately when you turn them on, and you can decline and keep the rest.

06 / 06

Your mailbox is not the product

The part of Onmindo that runs in Gmail measures nothing, and no analytics runs on the server. No IP addresses are kept. No message body is stored, apart from a scheduled send, until it goes out. Usage is counted on Onmindo's own dashboard and settings screens, where there is no mail to see. The privacy page lists every table and field.

Pricing

Free, with open signup

Onmindo costs nothing today. No card, no invite code, no seat count, and every feature on this page works from your first send. The server, the database, the backups and a tracking domain that is already warmed are ours to run.

The prices are published early anyway. Free is written down as 200 tracked sends a month, and naming which recipient of a group email opened it is Pro at $9 a month, or $84 a year. Neither is enforced: no send is ever blocked, no open already recorded goes behind a price, and nobody is moved onto a paid plan without being asked first. The whole of it, with the numbers.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Still not answered? The privacy page is the long version, and [email protected] answers the rest.

Can it tell me which of several recipients opened?

Yes, once you grant full Gmail access. Write to five people and Onmindo tells you which of them read it and when, rather than that one of the five did. Everything goes out through your own Gmail account, on the To line you typed, and arrives as an ordinary group message where everyone sees everyone. Onmindo asks for that permission only when you switch this on, because Gmail's submission server accepts no narrower one. Without it, a message to several people goes out with one shared pixel and an open says somebody on it read your mail without saying which. New messages only, not replies, and you can turn it off for a single message in the compose panel.

Is my email data safe?

Onmindo keeps two kinds of thing about your mail. A tracking record for each message you send with tracking on: who it went to, the subject, and when it was opened or clicked. And an encrypted token that lets it send through your own Gmail account. It never stores a message body, except a send you scheduled, and only until it goes out. Nothing is sold, shared, or used to train anything. The part of Onmindo that runs inside Gmail measures nothing. Usage is counted on Onmindo's own dashboard and settings screens, and the server reports four counters (a send, an open, a click, a booking) that carry no address, subject or link. The privacy page lists every table and every field.

Can Onmindo read my mailbox?

Not by default. Connecting Gmail asks Google for two permissions: send mail on your behalf, and your email address. That token has no permission to read mail, so the server cannot, whatever it wanted. Features that need to read a thread, such as telling a real reply from an out of office, thread summaries and drafted follow-ups, ask for read access separately, at the moment you turn them on, and you can say no and keep everything else.

How fast does an open show up?

The second it happens. The inbox row, the hover card and the dashboard feed all listen to a live stream from the server, so an open lands while you are looking, with no refresh.

How accurate is the open tracking?

An open means a mail client drew your message for a person. Gmail touches every message as it lands, before anyone has looked, and most trackers count that as a read; Onmindo recognises it and calls it delivered. Apple Mail opens mail on its own schedule, so an open from there is counted once and labelled. What nobody can prove is that the person read the words, and Onmindo does not claim it. It also shows no device or city for a Gmail reader, because Gmail loads images through its own servers and anything shown there would be Google's location, not theirs.

Does this get me marked as spam?

It is designed not to. Your mail goes out through your own Gmail account, so authentication and reputation are unchanged from sending by hand. The parts that could hurt you are the ones Onmindo gates: link rewriting is off by default, the daily cap ramps from twenty, bulk sends are paced with jitter, and a bulk send with no opt-out is refused.

Do I need an Anthropic API key?

For the AI parts, yes: follow-up drafting, copy review, reply classification and thread summaries call Claude with a key you add in Settings. Without one, tracking, templates, send later, the dashboard and the deliverability rules all work, and follow-ups become notify-only.

What does it cost?

Nothing today. Signup is open, takes no card, and there is no payment processor connected to Onmindo. The prices are published in advance anyway: Free is written down as 200 tracked sends a month, and naming which recipient of a group email opened it is Pro at $9 a month or $84 a year. Neither is enforced, no send is ever blocked, and nobody is moved onto a paid plan without being asked first.
