Core Philosophy

DodaInbox was built to give professionals the power of complex CRM toolkits without the bloat, slow page loads, or intrusive tracking. All data is saved exclusively to your browser’s encrypted local and sync storage.

Privacy by Design — DodaInbox does not maintain a cloud database that reads or stores your emails. Your notes, drafts, and customer interactions remain 100% private to your device.

The 8 Master Modules

Under Settings → All Modules, you can toggle each of the 8 core functional subsystems on or off independently:

Features

1. Thread Notes & Reminders

Attach notes directly to any email conversation. Notes are saved automatically as you type and follow the email thread permanently.

Color themes — Click any color dot in the top-right corner of the note editor:

Color Meaning
🟡 Yellow General Reminder — standard notes, context, or contact notes.
🔴 Red Urgent / High Priority — time-sensitive tasks and high-priority deals.
🟢 Green Done / Approved — completed contracts, paid invoices, or approved deliverables.
🔵 Blue Follow-up — client check-ins, scheduled meetings, or reviews.
🟣 Purple Personal / Waiting — awaiting response, internal handoffs, or personal notes.

Follow-up due dates — Set a reminder with 1 click: Today, Tomorrow, In 3 Days, Next Week, or a custom date/time. High-visibility status chips display automatically in your Inbox:

  • ⏰ Due Today — Yellow badge for items due before midnight.
  • ⏰ Due Tomorrow — Blue badge for upcoming action items.
  • ⚠️ Overdue (Sep 10) — Red warning badge for overdue tasks.

Rich editor & interactive tasks — Use the visual toolbar or type markdown directly: **bold**, *italic*, underline, and - [ ] Checklist. Checkboxes can be clicked directly to mark items complete.

Templates and tables

4. Privacy Shield

Prevents senders from tracking when, where, and how many times you open an email:

  • Blocks 1x1 tracking GIFs and web beacons from Mailtrack, Yesware, HubSpot, Streak, Superhuman, and 30+ other tracking domains.
  • Neutralizes spy pixels safely without breaking email layouts or showing missing image icons.
  • Keeps your IP address and reading habits completely private.

Privacy and search

5. Forgotten Attachment Warning

Never send an incomplete email again. DodaInbox’s scanner monitors your email before it leaves your outbox:

  • Scans for terms like “attached”, “enclosed”, “pdf”, “invoice attached”, etc.
  • Works in both brand-new compose windows and quick inline reply drafts.
  • Provides a clean warning modal: “You mentioned an attachment, but haven’t attached any files. Send anyway or attach files?”

6. Professional Template Library

17+ pre-built email templates across 7 business categories:

  • Sales & Outreach — Cold outreach, pitch follow-up, value proposition.
  • Meetings & Scheduling — 15-minute sync, meeting request, post-meeting action items recap.
  • Client & Projects — Weekly progress report, milestone delivery, delay notification.
  • Billing & Invoices — Invoice submission, friendly reminder, overdue notice.
  • Support & HR — Ticket acknowledgment, interview invitation, respectful rejection.
  • 1-Click Cloning — Click Save to My Snippets to turn any template into an instant keyboard trigger (e.g. ;meet15).

7. Quick Labels

Tag emails instantly without navigating slow dropdown menus:

  • 1-Click header pills — Docked right next to the conversation subject: ⚡ Action Required, ⏳ Waiting, 🔍 Review, 📌 Follow-up, 💡 Someday.
  • Keyboard shortcuts — Press number keys 1 through 5 while viewing an email to toggle labels instantly.
  • Inbox row badges — Color-coded label chips display right in your inbox list.

Quick labels

8. In-Thread Search & Expander

Standard browser search (Ctrl+F) fails in long Gmail threads because Gmail collapses intermediate messages. DodaInbox fixes this:

  • Auto-expansion — Automatically finds and expands hidden, collapsed, and stacked messages (“5 more messages”) that contain your search query.
  • Live match counter — Shows 1 of 12 matches with smooth scrolling to centered matches.
  • 1-Click Expand All — Click ↕ Expand All to open every collapsed message card in the conversation simultaneously.

Smart snippets
