Soft Send

Soft Send is a Chrome extension that allows users to delay sending emails in Gmail, giving them a brief window to review and potentially unsend messages before they are delivered.

Background

- **Soft Send** is a Chrome extension that adds an "unsend" delay to messages sent through Gmail, allowing users to recall an email within a configurable window (e.g., 5–30 seconds) after clicking send. - Gmail already has a built-in "Undo Send" feature, but Soft Send offers extended control: longer recall windows, optional confirmation prompts before send, and the ability to set different delays for different recipients or email addresses. - The extension is useful for anyone prone to sending premature, poorly addressed, or incomplete emails — common in fast-paced work environments — and appeals to users who want more forgiveness than Gmail's default 5–30 second undo window allows.
