How it works

Email tracking in three steps

No setup and no new app. Peeped works inside the Gmail you already use.

  1. Add Peeped to Chrome

    Install it from the Chrome Web Store. It takes a few seconds, and there's no account to make.

  2. Send email as usual

    Write and send from Gmail like you always do. Every email you send is tracked for you.

  3. See when it's read

    One tick means sent. Two ticks and a count mean it's been read. Hover for the details.

Try it

See it work in ten seconds

Send an email in this pretend Gmail and watch what Peeped shows you. Nothing is actually sent.

Features

Everything you need to know after you hit send

Read receipts in your inbox

One tick means sent. Two ticks and a number mean it was read, and how many times. No need to open anything.

Every open, with the time

Hover the ticks to see each time your email was opened and how soon after you sent it.

Alerts the moment it's read

A desktop notification as soon as someone opens your email, even when Gmail isn't open.

Who read a group email

Tick Send separately and everyone gets their own copy, so you can see exactly who opened it.

Bots aren't counted as people

Spam filters, security scanners and Apple Mail preloads are told apart from real reads.

Privacy

Private by design

Peeped is built to know as little as possible. Here's exactly what it does and doesn't keep.

Your email stays in Gmail

Peeped never reads or copies what you write. Subjects and recipients stay in your browser, not on our servers.

Only what's needed

Our servers keep a random code for each email, when it was opened, and which app or service loaded it, so bots can be told apart from people.

No tracking of the reader

We don't store your recipients' IP addresses or where they are. Peeped answers one question: was it opened?

Who it's for

Built for anyone waiting on a reply

Job and internship hunting

Know if a recruiter opened your application before you follow up.

Cold outreach

See which leads are interested, and reach out again while it's fresh.

Freelancers

Check that the invoice or proposal was opened instead of guessing.

School and clubs

See whether your group actually read the update before the meeting.

FAQ

Questions

How does Peeped know my email was opened?

Peeped securely marks each email as you send it, so it can recognise the moment that email is opened. It then filters out bots and your own views, and shows the result right next to the email in Gmail.

Is Peeped free?

Yes. Peeped is free while in beta, with no limit on tracked emails and no credit card needed.

Do my own opens count?

No. When you open your own sent email, Peeped ignores it, so the count only reflects your recipients.

Can I see who opened an email sent to several people?

Yes, if you tick Send separately before sending. Each person then gets their own copy, and Peeped shows who read it. Without it, everyone shares one email, so Peeped can tell you it was read but not by whom.

Will I get notified when an email is read?

Yes. Peeped shows a desktop notification as soon as a read comes in, and checks every minute while Chrome is open, even if Gmail isn't.

Does Peeped read my email?

No. Peeped only records when the emails you send are opened. Your email's text, subject and recipients never reach our servers. Read our privacy policy.

Can my recipients tell I'm using Peeped?

There's nothing visible in your email. The tracking image is one invisible pixel.

Does it work on my phone?

Peeped tracks emails you send from Gmail in Chrome on your computer. Opens are recorded wherever your recipients read them, including on phones.
