I often used to send emails with mistakes, to the wrong recipient, or without an important attachment, so I built SoftSend, Chrome Gmail extension that gives you a few minutes to change your mind before sending.
We've all done it: hit Send, then instantly spot the typo, the wrong recipient, or realize you said "see attached" with nothing attached. Gmail's built-in Undo Send gives you 30 seconds max. I wanted more control, so I built Soft Send.
What it does:
Instead of sending instantly, Soft Send holds your email in a local queue for a delay you choose (1 min up to 1 hour). During that window you can cancel it, pause the timer, or edit it. It's "undo send", but on your terms.
It also watches for risky patterns and adds extra delay + a warning when it spots:
- A recipient you've never emailed before
- "Attached" in the body with no actual attachment
- Reply-All to a big group
- Possibly sensitive content (passwords, card numbers, etc.)
- An email written suspiciously fast (angry-email insurance 😅)
Privacy: No server, no tracking. Your email content never leaves your device except to go to Google's own Gmail API to actually send it.
Free vs Pro: Everything above is free. The one-time Pro ($14.99, no subscription) unlocks high-risk recipient lists — flag specific people (your boss, your CEO) or whole domains (a client's company) so you get a big red warning and a longer delay before an email ever reaches the wrong inbox.
