OpenTrace

Know when your Gmail is actually read.

Read receipts for the important emails you send. We never read or store the email body — only whether a message you chose to track was opened.

Three steps

Install the extension, track from Gmail compose, get notified when it opens.

    Install

    Add the Chrome extension. A Track control appears in Gmail — sign in when you want sync and the web dashboard.

    Track & send

    Click Track before Send. We store subject and recipient for that send — never the message body.

Privacy by design

OpenTrace only records whether a message you chose to track was opened. We never store the message body. Every email is sent from your own Gmail, one at a time.

Privacy policy
  • Read receipts only

    We record open signals for tracked sends — nothing more.

  • No message body

    Only subject and recipient are stored for tracked sends. Never the body.

  • Encrypted in transit

    Connections use HTTPS; data at rest on Neon Postgres.

  • Delete anytime

    Delete your account anytime from Settings.

Know your important email arrived.
