Every email app assumes one way to read. Life doesn't.
Readability Strain
Small text, dense layout. You squint through 30 emails and your eyes are done by noon.
2.2 billion people have vision impairment - WHO
Information Noise
20 new messages in the thread. Three of them matter. The interface won't help you find which.
275 daily interruptions per worker - Microsoft
Same inbox. Different way to read it.
Privacy
Your screen, your eyes only.
Scrambles email text on screen. Hold to reveal one message at a time. Not encryption - a visual shield for public spaces.
Use when: You're on public transport, at a cafe, or in an open office.
Zoom
Bigger text. Same Gmail.
Scales email content for easier reading - message body, subject lines, sender names - without touching Gmail's interface. Unlike browser zoom, only the reading content gets bigger.
Use when: Your eyes need a break, you're on a smaller screen, or you read email for hours.
Focus
Read email like a document, not a feed.
Strips away Gmail's visual clutter for a clean reading surface. The content is unchanged - just presented without the noise.
Use when: You're working through a long thread and need to read without distraction.
How it works
Your email stays unchanged.
Nothing is rewritten, summarized, or sent anywhere. Chameleon reads what Gmail already shows you.
Lenses change how you see it.
Pick a lens and your Gmail transforms on screen. It happens in your browser - no server, no data leaving your machine.
Switch back anytime.
Every lens is reversible. Turn it off and Gmail is exactly as it was.

What Chameleon is not
Not themes or skins.
Themes change colors. Lenses change the structure of how you read.
Not AI rewriting.
Nothing is summarized, rephrased, or filtered. What you see is always the original.
Not encryption.
Encryption protects data in transit. Lenses protect what is on your screen.
Gmail is where it starts. Not where it ends.
Chameleon is built on Adaptive Message Views (AMV) - an architecture that separates what a message says from how it is perceived. The Gmail extension proves the paradigm works. The same perception layer can sit on top of any platform that sends messages.

No. Lenses only change how emails appear on your screen. The original is always preserved - nothing is rewritten, deleted, or modified.
No. Encryption protects messages during delivery. Lenses change how messages look after they have already arrived in your browser.
Always. Turn off any lens and Gmail is exactly as it was.
No. Everything runs in your browser. No data is sent anywhere. No account is needed. No analytics, no tracking.
