Common Questions

Is there a Superhuman Chrome extension?

No. Superhuman is a standalone email client, not a Chrome extension. It replaces Gmail entirely with its own app. If you want Superhuman-level productivity as a Chrome extension that works inside Gmail, CMDK is the closest match with command bar, read receipts, shortcuts, reminders, and split inbox.

Can I use Superhuman inside Gmail?

No. Superhuman requires you to leave Gmail and use their separate app. CMDK is the alternative: it is a Chrome extension that adds Superhuman-style features (Cmd+K command bar, keyboard shortcuts, read receipts) directly inside your existing Gmail interface.

What is the best Gmail productivity Chrome extension?

CMDK is the highest-rated Gmail productivity extension with a 4.9/5 rating from 1000+ users. It adds 80+ keyboard shortcuts, a command bar, natural language reminders, read receipts, split inbox, and one-click unsubscribe directly into Gmail.

Will a Chrome extension slow down Gmail?

No. CMDK is lightweight and designed for performance. It enhances Gmail without adding bloat. Unlike Superhuman which is a full separate application, CMDK only activates the features you use.

Can I keep my other Chrome extensions with CMDK?

Yes. CMDK works alongside other Gmail extensions like Grammarly, Streak, Boomerang, and others without conflicts. Superhuman replaces Gmail entirely, so your other Chrome extensions will not work with it.

Does Superhuman read my emails?

Yes. Superhuman reads and stores your emails to power AI features like auto-drafting replies. CMDK does not read or store your emails. It runs locally in your browser and only accesses Gmail to perform actions you initiate.

Which browsers does CMDK work on?

CMDK works on Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers including Brave, Edge, Arc, and Opera, on Firefox, and on Safari for Mac.

Is there a free Gmail extension like Superhuman?

CMDK offers a 15-day free trial with full access to all features, no credit card required. After the trial, it starts at $9/mo or $169 for lifetime access. Superhuman has no free trial and costs $30/mo.

Have people actually switched from Superhuman to CMDK?

Yes. Hundreds of Superhuman users have switched to CMDK. One user said: "I was paying a massive monthly subscription just for a clean interface and fast keyboard shortcuts. CMDK provides the same Inbox Zero experience and speed for a fraction of the cost." Another said: "It doesn't force you to use all of the latest AI tools that I never wanted or needed. Kind of the best of all worlds."

Does CMDK work on Firefox?

Yes. CMDK is available on Firefox as well as Chrome and other Chromium browsers like Edge, Brave and Arc. You get the same features on Firefox, including the command bar, keyboard shortcuts, read receipts, snooze and split inbox, and one account works across both browsers. Install it from the Firefox Add-ons store and sign in.

Is there a Superhuman for Safari?

There is no Superhuman app or extension for Safari. CMDK is the closest thing to Superhuman for Safari: it adds a Cmd+K command bar, keyboard shortcuts and read receipts inside your existing Gmail in Safari, from $9/mo instead of $30/mo. See CMDK for Safari.

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

Solid extension that provides many of the key benefits of MUCH pricier tools. Even better that this lives in Gmail, so you can use other extensions as well.

Zachary Eisenstat

Great - simple as it says, but adds a bunch of convenient time saving features. I don't need a full on client, I just need my Gmail to be fast, and this does it.

Dilip Goswami

Really good and helpful. And the developer was even very responsive to feedback!

Dominic Roser

This is awesome. It massively speeds up and simplifies usage of Gmail. Great pricepoint too, and the developer is super active and amazing at feedback and improvements.

Brent Maxwell

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!

Bill Brelsford

Works like a charm! Exceptionally GREAT SUPPORT - even for as small language as Hungarian. It can totally replace Superhuman.

Zoltán Szabó

I have started using CMDK as a layer over my gmail. Once I got used to it I love it. CMDK provide real-time support - most impressive!
