Sortd for Gmail for Web

Combine your email and task list for free

Sortd for Gmail is a no-cost browser extension that reshapes long, text-heavy email threads into a tidy, visual to-do system. Instead of scanning a crowded inbox, you get a simplified workspace with colored markers and clear sections to keep actions and priorities visible at a glance.

How it restructures your inbox

Sortd creates a separate, streamlined board where individual messages can be placed outside Gmail’s default inbox view. Its layout emphasizes actionable groups rather than generic categories, making it easier to spot what needs attention.

• Place messages into a “Follow-up” lane to remind yourself to reply later.
• Move emails into a “To-do” column when an email requires a specific task.
• Use color-coded dots and custom headings to prioritize and differentiate items.
• Rely on sensible defaults that let the tool be useful immediately, with a few configuration options available if you want to tweak the setup.

Who benefits most from this approach

Sortd works best for people who use Gmail’s web interface and want a lightweight way to impose order on a busy inbox. It’s especially helpful if you haven’t already tailored Gmail heavily to fit your workflow.

• If you rely on desktop clients like Outlook with integrated task features, you may prefer to keep using those tools.
• For Gmail web users who’ve struggled with cluttered inboxes and want a simple, visual task board, Sortd offers a quick improvement.
• Anyone seeking a low-friction productivity boost without installing bulky software will find it worth trying.

Quick verdict

If you want a straightforward, visually driven method to turn emails into manageable tasks — and you use Gmail in a browser — Sortd is a lightweight, practical option to consider.
