Built to respect your privacy 🕵🏽‍♂️

CMDK does not read or store your emails.

It is compatible with other productivity extensions, so you can keep the workflow you already use.

Wall of love

Loved by customers all across the world

Nice app. I like Gmail UI, but the shortcode options of SuperHuman. So your app is the best of both worlds!

Brian Dainis

Literally the best email extension you could get. Amazing alternative to Superhuman. Super clean and just works. Definitely worth the price and they are super responsive to feedback.

Danny Nielsen

This is aweeeeesome. It massively speeds up and simplifies usage of Gmail. The original shortcuts are so unintuitive, and this levels up the whole experience massively. Great pricepoint too, and the developer is super active and amazing at feedback and improvements.

Brent Maxwell

Loving CMDK so far! Fast to learn, and I can see it saving me a lot of time!

Nathan Lippi

Love it! This extension helps me fly through my emails so I can get out of my inbox and back to revenue producing work. And great support! I had a few questions when I was getting started which they answered swiftly - even on a weekend!

Bill Brelsford

I recommend CMDK to every Gmail user I know 🙂

Rahul Desai

It's working perfectly. I just cleared 62 emails. I swear I would've died without CMDK 😂

Aditya Shah

Loved it. Killer and addictive. This should probably be the default option in Gmail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Gmail keyboard shortcuts?

Gmail keyboard shortcuts are key combinations that let you perform common actions such as composing, archiving, or deleting emails without needing to use your mouse. They can save time and make your workflow more efficient. Many productivity tools like CMDK also support and enhance Gmail shortcuts for even faster inbox management.

How do I enable keyboard shortcuts in Gmail?

  1. Open Gmail.
  2. Click the gear icon and select See all settings.
  3. Under the General tab, scroll to Keyboard shortcuts.
  4. Select Keyboard shortcuts on and click Save changes

What are some of the most useful Gmail shortcut keys?

  • C – Compose a new email
  • E – Archive conversation
  • R – Reply to an email
  • Shift + U – Mark as unread
  • / – Move cursor to the search box

Why are my Gmail keyboard shortcuts not working?

This may happen if:

  • Shortcuts are turned off in your Gmail settings
  • A browser extension is interfering
  • Your keyboard layout or language settings are different
  • Some keys conflict with your operating system or Chrome shortcuts

If you use CMDK with Gmail, most shortcuts still work normally and can sometimes be customized to avoid conflicts.

Can I customize Gmail shortcut keys?

Yes. In Gmail’s Advanced settings, you can remap certain actions to keys of your choice. CMDK builds on this by allowing users to create workflows that combine shortcuts with advanced email actions.

What is a Gmail Chrome extension?

A Gmail Chrome extension is a small software add-on that runs in your browser to improve Gmail’s functionality. Examples include email tracking, scheduling, and productivity tools like CMDK which extend Gmail with advanced email cleanup, reminders, and shortcut features.

How do I install a Gmail extension in Chrome?

  1. Open the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Search for the extension you want.
  3. Click Add to Chrome.
  4. Confirm the installation.

For CMDK , you can follow the same process and sign in to connect it with your Gmail account.

What are the best Gmail add-ons for productivity?

The best Gmail add-ons typically help you save time, keep your inbox organized, and reduce repetitive tasks. Tools like Google’s own Calendar integration, email scheduling apps, and CMDK for faster inbox zero are often highly recommended.

What is the difference between a Gmail extension and a Gmail add-on?

A Gmail extension is installed in your browser, usually Chrome, and works within Gmail while you use it in the browser. A Gmail add-on is installed via Google Workspace Marketplace and integrates directly into Gmail and Google Workspace apps. CMDK operates as a Chrome extension that enhances Gmail in real time.
