Supported now

Blur sensitive emails in your inbox before a glance becomes a leak.

Selective Blur watches your Gmail inbox and blurs message rows the moment they load, matching subject lines and senders against your patterns, or blurring everything at once.

Gmail with sensitive messages blurred by Selective Blur

What's supported on Gmail

The same blur engine as every other supported app, tuned to how Gmail renders its messages.

Selective or full blur

Blur only rows matching your patterns, or every row in the inbox.

Hover to reveal

Hover a blurred row to read it, move away and it blurs again.

Adjustable intensity

Dial the blur from a light haze to fully unreadable.

Configured from one popup

Click the extension icon while you're on Gmail to set patterns, blur mode, intensity, and hover-to-reveal for Gmail specifically. A master switch and a per-site switch mean you can turn blurring off everywhere, or just here, without touching your other apps.

Selective blur by regex pattern, or full blur with one click
Blur intensity from a light haze to fully unreadable

Stop shoulder-surfers from reading your Gmail messages.

Install Selective Blur and set your patterns once. It takes less time than reading one more message.
